To kick off 2024, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you that listens to The House of Hammer.And for anyone who’s considering upgrading to or signing up for the Hidden Room tier, a little snippet of what you could be enjoying...

Please note: this was meant to go out at the end of 2023...but we forgot. So we've just re-edited all mention of Christmas and 2023 out of it. BECAUSE WE'RE THAT PROFESSIONAL.

It's more a bad habit at the moment than an actual tradition, but we're going with it...


Here's our end of year wind up and wind down all at once that features monkeys, trousers, Middlesborough, Numan and as much silliness as you'd expect from the office party although we did at least keep Smokey away from the photocopier this time.

Our final episode of 2023 is a bumper double header!

It's a 2-4-1 comedic naval extravaganza (the best kind of extravaganza) as Ben takes you firstly Up The Creek and then, despite whatever objections you may have, continues to take you Further Up The Creek.

Yes, not one but two farcical frigates full of fiddlers.

Speaking of which, Cev's talking about the other British comedies of 1958, Smokey explains it all (well, one thing about people from Liverpool) and we've got an interview with a very special guest.

It's enough to float your boat. Hopefully.

As it's our final screening of the year, it will be FREE to EVERYONE, but (and its, a big but, I cannot lie), there will be the chance for a get together in the cocktail lounge afterwards that will be exclusive to paying patrons only. It's a prestige affair after all.

With cheese.

We're back with Dr Frankenstein...or is it Dr Stein...or Dr Frank?

Either way, Ben, Cev and Smokey are here to take you through the 1958 gothic horror sequel.

Cushing is back, the blood is back, but is the magic of the first Hammer Frankenstein film back too?

It's time to get the sunglasses out as we hightail it to Italy for The Snorkel released in July 1958. Cev's the dubious travel agent, Ben's checking for trapdoors and Smokey's checking his equipment...

For our penultimate screening of the year, we're taking you on a trip to Blood Island. Cheery, eh?

Never fear, your genial hosts will be there to keep you company.

Join us at 6:30 GMT on Saturday, 11th November.

Yes, we’ve made it. After well over 50 films, we finally arrive at the gothic towers and creaking gates of this famous Transylvanian abode. We take a look at Hammer’s first iteration of the fella in the cape with the big pointy teeth with a penchant for sucking the necks of beautiful young women.

Plus! Ben charts Dracula's on-screen journey pre-1958, Smokey has a bio on Batman's butler, and Cev talks blood transfusions.

Oh, and there's a very special interview.Plus we talk about the film :-)

Into 1958 we go and take a (brief) break from the horror, with Hammer's war drama, The Camp on Blood Island.

Join us as Smokey takes on the military, Cev chases some holdouts and Ben pursues the critics.

Described as one of the most controversial Hammer films, does it still have the power to shock?

In this episode, Cev is literally your guide around the mountains of Tibet which is a really poor decision as he gets lost halfway through a sentence. Luckily, or not so luckily, Smokey and Ben are here as well to chat about Nigel Kneale and mythical creatures if we all end up lost. There's also chat about film squishing and Forrest Tucker to boot!
