Ok here goes. My ex, the mother of my child is very, very ill with stage 4 cancer of the ovaries, liver & kidneys and has been since May and it’s not going well despite our optimism. We’ve always remained close because it’s the right thing to do when you’re bringing someone else into the world.

What’s going on? Have I missed yet another #Rapture?

I can’t believe that my local Savoy Cinema is screening this. I’ve seen every Hammer film (apart from the lost ones obviously), but this will be the first time on the big screen. I’m calling it fate because it’s literally 5 minutes from my doorstep. Can’t wait! 🍿

Think I’ve just happened across the holy grail of film credits…

What movie do you consider perfect?

Never grow up, never grow old.

A fun mix of stuff and nonsense this week… #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

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.

Just finished editing a wonderful piece from @barryf48.bsky.social and @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social for @househammerpod.bsky.social and all I can say to Barry’s answer to my question is “I bloody thought it might be!” Long may the chat tracks remain like that 😃 Oh, and I’m with you on this…👌

“The new Hillsborough law will force public officials to tell the truth” It’s reassuring to know that we have been consistently lied to on a daily basis before now innit? 🤦‍♂️

Why haven’t Apple made a Zoom equivalent? It’d record a group chat properly then.

About time somebody pointed out that the Emporer is stark bollock naked and AI is pure bullshit. youtu.be/_wStScmT748?...

Keeping it light just lately… #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

A lot going on I can’t share because it’s all too much and there’s too many irons in the fire.

Looking forward to being back in Aberaeron tonight!! www.gwisgobookworm.co.uk/upcoming-eve...

911 just keeps cropping up doesn’t it?

Why does Andrex use Golden Labrador puppies as their branding? Have you ever tried wiping your arse on a blind man’s dog in the middle of the Arndale? Scenes, I can tell you…

Saturday night perfection 🍿

Just walked into my favourite bit of Magnum Force on the tellybocks where Callahan saves a plane from hijackers by yelling get down at the passengers and shooting a baddie through a wall. Quality 👌

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

First day of big school. I’m terrified.

Spike Milligan on Peter Sellers: “I had an 8mm camera he had a 16mm camera.” “He was richer than me. He was richer than me by 8mm”

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!

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).

I’ve just realised that the end of Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises is a cheeky reference…

A thread: all the episodes we’ve released so far… Episode 1. Marking The Grave (an introduction) www.spreaker.com/episode/mark...

Back from a mini holiday. Nothing else needs adding.

Back from our self induced coma, our latest episode about “The Mind of Mr. Soames” with special guest @krycekfacility.bsky.social is finally available here: 👉 bit.ly/Soames 👈 #AmicusFilms #Podcast

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Pt1. Gets more ludicrous by the day…

RIP to a real one 🖤

The War Game is on iPlayer so of course I’m gonna settle down with it. Nitey nite. boxd.it/aL5nuh

Today I’ve watched Behold A Pale Horse (1964) and Spawn Of The North (1938). Both films have major characters that die in the end (albeit valiantly) and both are great films, but now I realise why I watch Step Brothers (2008) so often… 😳

Tremendous! 👏 boxd.it/aK6tT1

Having a bit of a Fu Manchu week. Pity the 1928 silents aren’t on the database cos they’re ace! Watching The Castle of Fu Manchu at the moment that’s so inept in every way that it’s the funnest thing about an already fun series. #FunManChu #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched

Great. Red sky at night.

It's Wednesday which can only mean one thing: our latest episode is now live!! Check out the Midweek Horror Podcast review of THE BLACK PHONE. Includes a pun-tastic funny quiz which I guarantee you'll enjoy 👍👍👍 open.spotify.com/episode/3Jx3... It'll also be arriving on other podcast platforms today

Slightly diminish a band: The Sisters Of Mild Concern

With the rather welcome release of the 1953 film, #BloodOrange making it’s spectacular physical media debut courtesy of #HammerFilms, here’s a reminder of when Ben was mad enough to have a look to see if there were any other orange films and then discovering a crate full... 👉 bit.ly/Orangefilms 👈

These lovely fellas are looking for submissions for issue 3. First 2 have been great. Also go listen to their podcast!!

The Hancock reboot looks a bit shit tbh…

Bless Bill Hicks ❤️

After our recent chat, @shamefulsteve.bsky.social, I’ve been reminded of this legendary team up…

Is this a deliberate homage or just plain lazy?
