The 2nd Great Hammer-Amicus Blogathon Is Here – Day 1 Recap

Sequels typically up the stakes, and this year’s follow-up to the Great Hammer-Amicus Blogathon is no exception. I’m impressed with the diversity of posts, so far, covering a variety of subjects/films, including deep cuts from the respective Hammer and Amicus catalogs. I can’t wait to dive into the various posts, and hope you will too!
