hammer house of horrors

[unruliejulie]

does anyone else remember this great series. If so, which episodes stick out in your mind. Mine were the one one with the fingernail where they had a car crash and they went to live at the farmhouse and the house that bled to death!

i remember one that cloned people.......the only thing i remember (and it still scares me) is the part the family picked up a hitchhiker who turned out to be the clone of the bloke driving!!

yeah rb, thats the one i mentioned. It was that thing in the mac that did it for me. Do you remember the fingernail at the end that gave it away, and then the ambulance driver who took em away, when they thought they were safe, had the same.Thats how it ended. That scared the crap out of me as a kid. I saw it not too long ago on sky. still creepy.

Great series!

The House That Bled was most memorable for me (and scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid!) and the one with the aircrash survivors who got together once a year to eat a person...

i remember one where peter cushing kept a guy hostage in a small cell,it had an electric shield keeping him in !

It caused many a nightmare for me as a kid, especially the fingernail/yellow mack one. My favourite was the one with Peter Cushing and Brian Cox.

The series has been repeated recently on Sky, can't remember which channel but think it was Bravo or UKTV Gold?

You can buy the series from amazon.co.uk or play.com

Hello Unrulie, I remember witching time, just looked at your link and I was 8 years old when it was on the television. I remember the witch getting her baps out which I thought was very rude and funny tee hee!!! I really think I should have been tucked up in bed.

The witch in the Witching Hour was the same actress who played Magenta in The Rocky Horror Picture Show :)

they had a re-run recently on itv3 and whilst entertaining they were bone -crushingly awful.Hammer house of mystery and suspense which was made later were far far superior such as episodes like mark of the devil

Amongst those already mentioned - the voodoo doll episode sticks in my mind.
Woman stabs image of hubby/boyfriend(?) in a group picture before plunging it into voodoo doll (found in attic or dusy antique shop - I forget where). However, everyone in the photo then start to die in bizarre accidents one by one.
