Hammer House of Horror

[Mince]

Can anyone remember the 1980s series on Fridays called Hammer House of Horror?

[Roger Kettle]

Yes.
Sadly, I don't think anyone will remember a 1960's series called "The Liars". This was based around a few people sitting round a table, telling spooky or weird tales. The tales were adapted from the works of some great mystery writers like Edgar Allan Poe and, my own hero, Guy De Maupassant. I read all his short stories and...and...I've already gone past annoying, pretentious git, haven't I?

Most of the Hammer House of Horror episodes were rubbish or silly. But one episode called "The Two Faces of Evil" scared me and my sister to death. Can anyone else remember this episode?

At last! Someone else who finds yellow sou'westers menacing...



Brrrrr... I got chills. They're multiplying.
