Show notes

Hello! And welcome to the 29th episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter.

We don't want to raise expectations, but 1965's Fanatic is a bit great. And, despite the title, there's actually a fanatic in it! Shock, horror! Join as as we flail about classy direction, witty dialogue, and the astonishing life of Tallulah Bankhead.

1964's The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is the sort of movie that exists to remind you of how precious your time is, and how you should use it to watch other movies. Any other movies.

For 1964's The Gorgon, we're joined by the brilliant John Rogers, creator of Leverage and The Librarians. (If you've no interest in Hammer, but love The Librarians, I rec the first five minutes of the podcast.) Prepare for a deep dive into the messy awesomenes of this film, a healthy amount of perfectly rational love for Peter Cushing, and ardent appreciation of how much Barbara Shelley can do with such thinly wirtten characters.

Ah, The Evil of Frankenstein. A Frankenstein movie. From Hammer. With Peter Cushing. What could go wrong? Or, a question with a shorter answer, what went right with this movie? Tis a sad month at the Hammer House of Podcast as we discuss the most painfully underwhelming of the Frankenstein series.

In Nightmare, there is, in fact, a nightmare. Hurrah! It's quite a good one too, and by good, I mean scary. Mostly though we're in the real world and enjoying a classy black and white thriller. About driving people mad. As you do.

Hello! And welcome to the 24th episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M.

In 1964's Paranoiac, Oliver Reed returns for Jimmy Sangster's final shot at a moody suspense thriller. It has a lot to say about the advantages of being an aunt's favourite nephew. Not least of all the fact that she'll make a really scary mask and pretend to be your dead brother. But she's helping (no, really, she's actually trying to help.) And if the plot doesn't al quite hang together, Oliver Reed does a marvellous job of distracting you from it with his acting skills.

A Hammer horror vampire film with neither Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee? Is that allowed? Apparently so. Is it any good? Yes, yes it is. If only for the pretty dresses and masked ball. And the absinthe. It's probably absinthe. It's green anyway.

Hammer House of Podcast - Episode 22 Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

In 1963's Maniac, we journey to France, and fine scenery, and a surprising array of animals (turkeys!). Alas, while one might expect from the title they're about to enjoy a fast-paced thrilling horror, this is not the case. Thank goodness there are pretty shots where you can see people horse-riding across the beach. One of us was more impressed by this movie than the other, but not by the end of the podcast. Liz feels very guilty about this.

Show notes

The month we're off to see 1963's The Damned, which is in many ways too films smooshed together. Neither of them are horror. Sorry about that. But one is very John Wyndam, hurrah!
