  • 1951 Down Place #051 – The House That Bled to Death

    42 Coleman Rd. Beautiful home with colorful history and good plumbing. Friendly neighborhood. Dining room ideal for birthday parties. Safe for pets.

    The British television station Channel 4 lists a moment from this television episode in their 100 Scariest Moments show (it came in at #50), and this month, we’ll see how the Down Placers rank “The House That Bled to Death” from the series Hammer House of Horror among Hammer’s movie output. Also, the guys go over some listener feedback, and eventually veer so off-topic that they end up talking about . . . Universal?

  • 1951 Down Place #050 – Phantom Ship

    Just sit right back

    And you’ll hear a tale
    A tale of a famous trip,
    That started from a New York port,
    Aboard a sailing ship.
    The mate was a mighty creepy lad,
    The Skipper just was wed
    A small crew set sail that day,
    on a trip full of dread,
    a trip full of dread.

    The film print started getting rough,

    our heroes lunch was tossed.
    If not for the acting of our shining star
    This hammer film would be lost
    This hammer film would be lost.

    The ship was adrift away for shore

    near some uncharted isle
    With Bela Lugosi
    Arthur Margetson too.
    Shirley Grey
    and Edmund Willard
    Dennis Hoey
    all directed by Denison Clift
    On the Phantom Ship

    No Lee! No Reed! No Peter Cushing

    Just Bela Lugosi
    Like a silent film
    It’s primitive as can be.

    So join us here this month my friends,

    To put a smile upon your face,
    From Casey, Derek and Scott
    Here on 1951 Down Place!

  • 1951 Down Place #049 – Dracula Has Risen from the Grave

    Happy Halloween! This month, the Down Placers get down with Dracula as they take a look at 1968’s Dracula Has Risen from the Grave. Director Freddie Francis said he wanted this film to be “visually interesting and exciting as opposed to just expect the audience to go along and see the same old Dracula.” Did he succeed?

  • 1951 Down Place #048 – A Challenge for Robin Hood


    Derek, Casey and Scott
    Walkin’ through the forest
    Laughin’ back and forth
    At what the other’n has to say
    Reminiscin’ this ‘n’ that
    And havin’ such a good time
    Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
    Golly, what a day!

    And what are the boys reminiscin’ about this time? It’s Hammer’s 1967 film A Challenge for Robin Hood staring Barrie Ingham, James Hayter, Leon Greene and directed by C.M. Pennington-Richards. Does this film hit the bulls-eye for the Downplacers or does it miss the target altogether?

  • 1951 Down Place #047 – Straight on Till Morning


    All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time it happened in London. It happened on a quiet street named Down Place. That corner house over there is the home of the Podcast family. And Peter Clive chose this particular house because there were people here who were ugly to him.

    Our story begins with Casey, Derek and Scott watching the 1972 Hammer film Straight On Till Morning directed by Peter Collinson. As our brave podcasters learn about the wicked Peter Clive, will they be deemed too beautiful by the beast and live happily every after or will they meet the same fate at Tinker?

  • 1951 Down Place #046 – The Vengeance of She

    It’s Listener Pick Month here at 1951 Down Place! The year, most of the listeners REALLY wanted us to discuss 1968’s The Vengeance of She

    (dir. Cliff Owen). Casey, Derek, and Scott do their best to stay out of the eternal flame while tackling this one. The gang previously discussed She in 2012 in Episode #10, and if you remember, they weren’t TOO fond of it. Do the Down Placers have the same feelings about The Vengeance of She?

  • 1951 Down Place #045 – Rasputin: The Mad Monk

    Torn from the pages of history – the truth about the man who turned men into killers and women into animals! Well, maybe not directly from the pages of history, but from Hammer comes 1966’s Rasputin: The Mad Monk starring Sir Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley and Richard Pasco. The film was directed by Don Sharp and written by Anthony Hinds.

    Here at 1951 Down Place we chose this film to honor the passing of the great Sir Christopher Lee. Along the way, Casey, Derek and Scott will talk about what Mr. Lee means to them and to the entertainment world as they discuss their first viewing of the Mad Monk’s sermon. Do they think this film is a small sin or is it a sin worth forgiving? Find out in this episode!

    Note: The film originally scheduled for June 2015, Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb will be featured on a future episode of 1951 Down Place.
