At the end of 1965, Variety previewed Dracula, Prince Of Darkness with a damning faint praise stating that " After a slowish start, some climate of eeriness is evoked but more shadows, suspense and suggestion would have helped. Christopher Lee, an old hand at the horror business, makes a latish appearance but dominates the film enough without dialog."

Even though The Plague Of The Zombies packs a lot into its story and is considered by many to be a favourite, it is also one of those rare beasts in Hammer horror: the one and done. What will the lads dig up? Will it be just another empty casket?
All will be revealed along with cocktails, a potted history of the undead and giddy new levels of Morell love!

The Nanny is something of a landmark film for Hammer. It would be their final monochrome release and their last of 1965.

Hammer has had a ridiculously long list of the finest talents the world has to offer (and Michael Medwin), and one that could literally tower above most of them is Paul Robeson. Here's Adam taking a look at one of early Hollywood's most beloved icons.

As a tribute to a friend of The House Of Hammer, here's a chance to listen to a conversation between the respected Egyptologist & Cultural Historian, John J. Johnston and Cev. It was much longer and far reaching than could be used in the intended episode about the Mummy itself and covered some of the pet obsessions the both of them often chatted about.

Vale! John.
