Advertise on podcast: The House Of Hammer

1967's Christmas release A Challenge For Robin Hood was designed as a fun for all the family crowd pleaser and it's Hammer's very last big screen visit to Sherwood Forest as well as the last film to see men in tights until Mel Brooks thought they were a good idea. Will it be a cause for celebration or are the lads going to miss running through the trees to the castle? There's only one way to find out! “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Logo by Richard Wells All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

The upcoming episode on "A Challenge For Robin Hood" is the last Hammer feature about that forest based rapscallion and therefore the last time the good king would be mentioned too, so here's Cev with a potted history of the king that never met the bandit that never existed... “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Logo by Richard Wells  All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

In Stolen Face, Dr. Philip Ritter has some questionable ideas when it comes to boundaries. Who better to look at how far questionable can be pushed than a man that has none?

Professor Quatermass is back! This guy just can't catch a break, there are more space wibbly's to deal with. But before all that we have to deal with sneaky devils, acoustic occurrences and one of the hardest goodbyes, we have ever had to do. “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Artwork by Richard Wells The links you think you’ll need are here & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

X - The Unknown is Hammer's answer to Quatermass while Nigel Kneale would come and play with them again. It has a throwaway line in its super sci-fi script that really made Cev's ears prick up... “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Logo by Richard Wells  All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

Since the Mummy’s Shroud episode opened with a radical reinterpretation of the opening theme music, Cev's here with a little titbit that was available to patrons about the ever mutating theme tune that's almost like an ongoing spot the difference competition without any prizes… You can access a wealth of extra content like this at patreon.com/househammerpod starting at as little as £1 per month!

As one Colonel said whilst sat in a jungle "The horror!", but could it really be that bad? Our band of intrepid explorers are about to find out as they investigate The Mummy's Shroud. There's much talk of moving house, not for the sunnier climes of Egypt unfortunately, but there's yet another Colonel at the middle of this too, they're all over the place! “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Artwork by Richard Wells  All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

Something of a mad one this. Instead of bashing together another monster and being left with the worst looking Airfix kit in the shop, the Baron has decided to switch it up a bit and do some soul shuffling instead. What Hammer ended up with is a film that was roundly dismissed by critics, but what will the lads in the house think of this premise that's wobblier than a Doctor Who set and made on an even similar budget? Listen on in the key of A... “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Artwork by Richard Wells  All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

With all the renewed interest in 1953's Stolen Face thanks to the re-release on Hammer's own 4K disc set, recorded a few years ago, here's a chance to revisit Ben's musings on the subject and its wider cinematic outings from the sublime to the not so much... “The House Of Hammer Theme” written and produced by Cev Moore Artwork by Richard Wells  All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

How else would a studio follow up a 'prehistoric' epic? A 'historic' epic of course! The lads dive into the generally overlooked The Viking Queen to see if there's a reason for such shabby treatment. Elsewhere Philip goes mystical, Smokey goes home and Cev goes nuclear.

During its time, the connections to Hammer films would have dwarfed the Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon game when looking at practically any element of cinema and the world of the greatest secret agent certainly had its fair share.

We reach the saviour of Andy Dufresne! Yes, Miss Fuzzy Britches is here to save us all from iguanas, turtles and flying beasties.
