Speaking to the multi-talented David Huckvale recently about what he was working on, I suspected our amiable conversation might be challenged by his answer. ‘I’m writing a book about Dracula A.D. 1972’, David replied. My review: www.dvdchoices.co.uk

Comedy from the #HammerFilms vaults starring #EdwardRigby with #HenryMollison #MichaelWard and introducing #MercyHaystead in: 👀 WHAT THE BUTLER SAW (1950) 10:45am #TPTVsubtitles

Had no idea this was being repeated. Features me demonstrating how you can sing the titles of many James Bernard scores

You have to hand it to the Germans, they really knew how to stir it up with their lobby cards! Here’s a selection of them for The Brigand Of Kandahar (1965). The subject of our latest episode available wherever you get your podcasts from.

@househammerpod.bsky.social bid a fond farewell to Oliver Reed, Ronald Lewis and Yvonne Romain in "The Brigand of Kandahar." Come for the film, but stay for the curry!

You can hear me rattle on about it here: directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/i...

Mystery of the Mary Celeste (1935) appears to be the first Hammer film ever to be released. But the UK version has been lost, and only the cutdown, retitled US version The Phantom Ship (1937) remains. Feels like the missing 20 minutes was subplots and context, but they left in all the sea shanties.

Oh, crikey. Can't listen to this because I hate the sound of my own voice :D But it was great fun to chat to @amicushere.bsky.social about this wonderful film (Amicus' THE MIND OF MR SOAMES w/Terence Stamp).

This week’s Hammer Bites sees Adam looking back at the surprising story of a Hollywood legend that once worked on a Hammer film… 👉 bit.ly/Hammer_Robeson 👈 #HammerFilms #HammerBites

Just listened to this lovely interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly John's thoughts on Hammer's modern Draculas. What a loss. @househammerpod.bsky.social @cevni.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Like many, @househammerpod.bsky.social were saddened by the untimely passing of John J. Johnston. We always hoped he'd be back on the pod one day. As a small tribute, here's a special Hammer Bites episode, where John and @cevni.bsky.social talk all things Mummy. RIP John.

The new Hammer 4K set of The Man In Black has arrived and the book is stuffed to the gills (or Gilling’s?)! There’s a cracking piece on one of our firm favourites here by @sarahbabsmorgan.bsky.social with a couple of tantalising ‘what ifs’ that really cement how good he was

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Another great episode, even though I had to wait all the way to the end to hear mention of Toucan Sam! Legend.

1965 brings us the third Hammer collaboration between Jimmy Sangster and Freddie Francis. @househammerpod.bsky.social ask if it hits the heights of "Paranoiac" and "Nightmare", Cev reports on the career of the wonderful Maurice Denham and Smokey tells you everything you need to know about toucans!

We’re going to be talking about PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES from #HammerHorror in the next podcast. We’d love to hear what you think of it — reply here or send a voice note to [email protected]. Deadline: 9pm tonight (Sunday).

Tonight's movie was The Gorgon - an excellent movie watched in excellent company. Thanks again @househammerpod #tonightsmovie #greatmovies #hammerhorror #hammerfilms #christopherlee #petercushing #barbarashelley #terencefisher

I'm shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden loss of @johnjjohnston.bsky.social. He was a gentleman and a scholar, and wildly flamboyant in both guises; infectiously enthusiastic and unfailingly supportive; warm, kind and an awful lot of fun. Raise a glass (or bottle) of rosé to his memory. VALE!

This is what it looks like to be a winner @househammerpod.bsky.social thanks!!

Got my order for The Curse of Frankenstein in. And for the first time I seem to have bagged some of the freebies (though not the poster ☹️). Folks, Hammer Films have separate 4k and Blu-ray Editions available for this one alongside the Ltd edition box hammerfilms.com/collections/...

Cushing’s swan song is suitably entertaining and bonkers. Well worth a watch. 🚁

Deeply saddened to hear this morning of the passing of our friend John J Johnston. We knew him for a comparatively short time, but we’ll miss him dearly. www.ees.ac.uk/resource/joh...

A reminder of where we’ve been and a nod to where we’re going…

Cushing escapes the guillotine for his second crack at creation in Hammers superior sequel. Superbly crafted and gloriously shot. Masterful. 1958. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #hammerhorror
