Ben charts Dracula's on-screen journey pre-1958, Smokey has a bio on Batman's butler, and Cev talks blood transfusions.<br /><br />Oh, and there's a very special interview.Plus we talk about the film :-)<br /><br />“The House Of Hammer Theme” and incidental music - written and produced by Cev Moore<br />Artwork by Richard Wells<br />All the links you think you’ll need & more!<a href="https://linktr.ee/househammerpod" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/househammerpod</a>

The Camp on Blood Island

Into 1958 we go and take a (brief) break from the horror, with Hammer's war drama, The Camp on Blood Island.<br /><br />Join us as Smokey takes on the military, Cev chases some holdouts and Ben pursues the critics.<br /><br />Described as one of the most controversial Hammer films, does it still have the power to shock?<br /><br />“The House Of Hammer Theme” and incidental music - written and produced by Cev Moore<br /><br />Artwork by Richard Wells<br /><br />All the links you think you’ll need & more!<a href="https://linktr.ee/househammerpod" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/househammerpod</a>

The Abominable Snowman (Of The Himalayas)

In this episode, Cev is literally your guide around the mountains of Tibet which is a really poor decision as he gets lost halfway through a sentence. Luckily, or not so luckily, Smokey and Ben are here as well to chat about Nigel Kneale and mythical creatures if we all end up lost. There's also chat about film squishing and Forrest Tucker to boot!<br /><br />“The House Of Hammer Theme” and incidental music - written and produced by Cev Moore<br />Artwork by Richard Wells<br /><br />All the links you think you’ll need & more!<a href="https://linktr.ee/househammerpod" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/househammerpod</a>

Quatermass 2 (Enemy From Space)

There's a whiff of ammonia in the air as Ben guides you around the house this time, and it's not his aftershave. So he claims.<br /><br />We take a look at the first ever film ever to have a number 2 in the title to indicate it was a follow-up. Ever. Professor Quatermass is back to face another would-be alien invasion, and if anything he's even more grumpy as he was the last time. And he has good reason. Because the space wibblies are much bigger this time...<br /><br />Also, Cev talks gas masks and Smokey's on location.

Women Without Men (Blonde Bait)

We’re off to The clink. The cooler. The slammer. The big house. We’re going up the river. And various other assorted synonyms. Because the subject of this episode is Hammer’s 1956 prison drama ‘Women Without Men’ AKA 'Blonde Bait'. And for once, that AKA in the middle is rather significant.Cev explains why, Smokey escapes pokey and Ben's on hosting duties (and 1950's vitamins...)<br /><br /><br />“The House Of Hammer Theme” and incidental music - written and produced by Cev Moore Artwork by Richard Wells <br />All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod
