Our first time all together.
Hugs were had, Negroni’s were sampled.

Nothing worse than departing this mortal coil and leaving a solitary Garfield slipper behind to mark your passing imho

It’s a classic!

The answer to all these “last remaining body part” mysteries was right there. They all spontaneously combust next to an open fireplace whilst wearing the finest flammable fabrics known to man.

Have you noticed nobody explodes now we have central heating? 🤣

German artwork for The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb, which was also released on this day in 1964 🖤

Garishly coloured poster artwork featuring the mummy (Dickie Owen) in red light carrying Annette (Jeanne Roland ) dressed in a low cut pink nightdress. In the background a giant mummified face and a group of men.

Hammers fifth and arguably finest crack at creation. Superbly crafted grim gothic nihilism strikingly shot with the fantastic Cushing in cruel mode. 1969.

Superb analysis of one of Hammer’s finest hours. Some minor quibbles aside - Brook Williams‘s low wattage, underwritten female characters and yes, too much bongo playing - this is Hammer at its peak. Morrell and Carson are just fabulous. The first great zombie film.

Jimmy Sangster's autobiography is titled "Do you want it good or Tuesday?". He managed to do both a surprising number of times.

If you think Hammer was only films then you're very wrong. Hammer Productions were also extensively involved in theatre in the 40s and 50s.

I've spent this morning organising some of my collection of Hammer theatre programmes for a future project.
