The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb. A veritable cornucopia of discoveries that range from the dictionary definition of the word 'Adam' to the existential threat of ageing with so much in-between, but how good is the film at the end of all this?

The House Of Hammer team often wanders off the beaten track when taking a closer look at the film at hand, but Cev wandered so far off said track that there were fears of him never returning.
In Meet Simon Cherry (1949), our heroic Reverend has his car started by a helpful chap called Charlie and his crank handle only to then leave them both behind. This one tiny moment set Cev off on a voyage of discovery...

The Gorgon, a figure from Greek mythology who literally lost her head to a young warrior apparently got better and went to deepest , darkest Hammerland to convalesce before once again getting up to her old masonry based tricks.
Join the team as they dig deep into this often overlooked Hammer Gothic.
Is it a gem or just a shiny pebble?

Hy Hazell has long been a heroine of the lads who were instantly smitten upon her first appearance at the house as the titular Celia from 1949. She risks life and limb and works as a housekeeper, all for a hat.
It must be an expensive hat, Surely?
Adam's here to explain just how much it is by deciphering the code of Old English Money that seems to have been deliberately devised to confuse...

After 1964's The Devil Ship Pirates, Hammer bade farewell to the whole piracy idea in the wake of a 400 ton disaster, but what about the film itself? The public certainly lapped it up, but what about the motley crew of The House Of Hammer?

Cushing is back! The creature is back!
But, how does this compare to the two previous times Hammer studios have attempted this?
More importantly, do the lads manage to pronounce the name correctly?

This is high up the list for most Hammer fans, but are we most Hammer fans? You'll have to listen to find out.

In a 1963 thriller that takes in rape, murder, asbestos and France, you'll probably not be so surprised that the lads focus on welding and not much more.
This is normally the bit where there's a look ahead to what's on the way, but it's just welding.

Black leather, Britain's Area 51, a dinosaur, a Ferrari, witch trails, the Black Death and Keith Moon. What could all these possibly have in common?
Well dear listener, prepare to be baffled by The Damned. Possibly the most adventurous outing yet, but is it any good?
Listen on, but beware: there be spoilers ahead!

We are back!
The first episode of the new year, is it all we could hope for?
Or is it...well, not?
But, at least we kick off with Christopher Lee, The Ripper and some very hungry fish. That's gotta be good, right?
