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?

It's more monochrome madness as Freddie Francis returns to direct another of Jimmy Sangster's thrillers and guess what? It's even more gaslighting. But this time, there's a twist!
It seems to be all about bad weather and bad dreams so the lads decide to raid Philip's Negroni stash in an attempt to brighten things up. This may or may not have been a good idea. It's up to you to decide...

In this episode, the lads happen across a couple of newlyweds stranded in deepest, darkest Hammerland at the turn of the century and the AA can't help them there. Maybe the inhabitants at the castle on the hill can assist?

What could possibly go wrong?

We get to spend time in a vault? With just Peter Cushing and Andre Morell? Yes, please!

Let's spread a little Christmas 'cheer'...in March.

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?

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Or is that a coffin full? Along with all the rest of the gin, snuff, cigarettes, them weird stuffed donkeys with the big eyes and tulips from Amsterdam, you could count on Captain Clegg and his cohorts to sneak them under the noses of the taxman.

Adam's your guide through The Terror Of The Tongs, a wild and blood soaked adventure from 1961 that bears a few similarities with a previous Hammer film. Will this be wild and blood soaked enough to stand on its own? Only a level headed roundtable discussion will get to the bottom of that.

Elsewhere Philip's love for all things Yvonne sends him multilingual, Smokey gets ganged up on and Cev gets plastered...

Smokey couldn't be more thrilled to bring you more Hammer comedy.

Thankfully, he doesn't have to suffe...enjoy this alone.

Cev brings some famous faces, Philip brings the tunes and Adam brings a nightcap.

SPOILER ALERT! 

This is not your only warning. 1961's 'mini Hitchcock' Taste of Fear has a memorable ending that warrants an equally memorable episode for one reason or another...

For maximum thrills, the House of Hammer earnestly urge you to listen from the start to the finish!

We're back in Hammer horror territory, hurrah!

No vampires or stitched together monsters this time, though. No, it's the sheer terror of a domestic moggy.
Morell, Wheatley and Shelley all return, is this a winner or should it be confined to film history's litter tray?

April 10th, 1961 saw the release of "A Weekend With Lulu" in plenty of time to get the burgeoning Bank Holiday crowds in the mood for heading off to whichever windswept British beach they could get.
Adam, Cev & Smokey get all nostalgic for a time before their time as Hammer goes all Carry On Caravanning.
Do they all like to be beside the seaside?
