A flashback to The Fountain that will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary later this year. We discussed this masterpiece with film composer Mark Wind back in 2019 and it’s still available anywhere and directly from here: 👉 bit.ly/4rsPGke 👈 #TheFountain #DarrenAronofsky #ClintMansell

Hammer are spoiling us with these exquisite sets and here’s today’s announcement “Mantrap (Man In Hiding)” from 1953. 😍 This one prompted a conversation that covered all sorts from incessant bells and the prolific Trevor Dudley Smith to Lois Maxwell. You can hear it all here! 👉 bit.ly/4rHthQv 👈

@househammerpod.bsky.social are back for the New Year with "The Witches", an early attempt at the folk-horror genre with Hollywood legend Joan Fontaine. Elsewhere, Smokey investigates the link between cats and witches and Cev discovers an English village that might be even lovelier than Doncaster...

Finally picked up this Blu Ray set this week after the price dropped to a less insane price that’d make Oasis blush. Love the series and the amount of Hammer Films faces I’ve seen is borderline incest!

Who’d have thought I’d hear the music for the @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Cellar Club in a very groovy 1960 movie that has so many Hammer Films connections it’s making my head spin? I’m in heaven!

Our latest #HammerBites looks into the fascinating tale of The Lyons, an all but forgotten phenomenon… 👉 bit.ly/4qKA4YP 👈 #HammerFilms #HammerComedy

11.50 TONIGHT! @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social are starting their re-run of the occasionally brilliant and occasionally barmy HAMMER HOUSE OF MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE (1984).

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula.

Even though Bela Lugosi's Dracula is on the cover of Cryptology #7, I persuaded editor Peter Normanton to let me write about the film enshrining (for me) the definitive vampire count, Christopher Lee...

#Letterboxd stats for 2025. Joseph Losey, Michael Ripper, come up and collect your awards!

Blindingly obvious #Letterboxd stats last year…

The latest episode being the Office Party… www.spreaker.com/episode/the-...

Brilliant Hammer film often overlooked as it 's neither Horror or Noir- Palace is great & it's a reminder that Roger Wants could do more than me a comic fodl to Sykes youtube.com/watch?v=5ws7...

What a year it’s been! Here’s the films what we’ve got up to at the house this last 12 months…. January: THE PIRATES OF BLOOD RIVER(1962) bit.ly/4pNxwt5 THE DAMNED (1963) bit.ly/40Nb1t1

1963 (but released in 1966) : Hammer team up with William Castle for "the Old Dark House". It has no reputation at all these days, but could it be a neglected gem? @househammerpod.bsky.social investigate...

Podtastic year again. I love you all so much. Shout out to @househammerpod.bsky.social and @generalwitch.bsky.social who get lot of my listening via Patreon. Further shout out to @victoriannightmare.bsky.social which I stumbled across in Summer and is the best bundle of gothy joy. #SpotifyWrapped

New! THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN - w/Chas Early pod.link/1569929507 As the title suggests, the race to be the first Scotsman to play the bagpipes at the South Pole! Also: Spike sings for George Martin, Harry works with Morecambe & Wise and Peter has a day off to spend some time with his cameras.

🚨 FINAL REMINDER 🚨 Tonight at 7.30 GMT, it’s our November screening for our patrons of THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES 🧟‍♂️ To join in the fun, Cev has all the deets here… www.spreaker.com/episode/the-...

Amazingly smooth animation, and lots of it! Saw this in the cinema aged 9 or 10. Unlike the US, we had the uncensored version of the film with the nudity left in!

Finally caved in and bought a 4k player. Basically just so I can properly appreciate the new Hammer remasters, but I've picked up some other titles too. Will give something a proper spin tomorrow.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... a great episode - interesting guest, great fact checking on orthodox crossing, but be warned, @cevni.bsky.social is a mean spirited bastard. 🎶 Rah-rah-raz pooh tain 🎶

Friday night’s for fun & frights 🍿

I’ve contributed a wee bio of Lizabeth Scott for this forthcoming release. hammerfilms.com/products/sto...

Stoked doesn’t come close…

In a shock announcement @hammerfilms parent company John Gore Studios has acquired Tyburn Films - paving the way for long overdue 4k restorarions of Legend of the Werewolf, The Creeping Flesh, The Masks of Death etc, and new adaptations. johngorestudios.com/john-gore-st...

Right, get me 500 Woodbines so I can convincingly laugh along with Don Taylor in Hammer’s first colour feature film! 🏹

Name a film with a great child actor? I'll go for "Never take sweets from a stranger" (1960). A tough watch, even today, with a brilliant performance from Janina Faye at its heart. A favourite of @househammerpod.bsky.social

One of the things we enjoy here at The House is not just looking at the film at hand. Sometimes it can be just as much fun to look into things that could be slightly connected to it. With that in mind, Ben’s on our latest Hammer Bites with Tunisia…🇹🇳 #hammerfilms #thesteelbayonet #warfilm #tunisia

#comingsoon - the final instalment of the fantastic four…

Stranded newlyweds, vampire cult and bloodthirsty rubber bats galore draped with fabulous gothic. Hammer nail the undead art of seduction. 1963. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #hammerhorror

fucking hell YES! @househammerpod.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

1966, and - yet again -terrible things are afoot in Cornwall. Jacqueline Pearce and Noel Willman are back. Michael Ripper turns out to be the Van Helsing we never knew we needed. And @househammerpod.bsky.social bid a fond farewell to two Hammer legends. www.spreaker.com/episode/the-...

Hammer are showing Quatermass 2 4k on YouTube right now it looks incredible!!!!

Halloween’s here and this week we’re celebrating in fine style with Troy Howarth as we dig into DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1966) bit.ly/DraculaPOD #hammeammerfilms #hammerhorror #britishfilm #filmhistory
