The Hammer-Amicus Blogathon IV is Here! Day 1 Recap

 

Welcome to the first day of the Hammer-Amicus Blogathon! My co-host Gill (from Realweegiemidget Reviews) and I were blown away by the number of signups (35!), which only proves (after a one-year hiatus with Hammer-Amicus) that absence truly makes the heart grow fonder. We’ve got something for everyone in Day One’s posts, but first, some housekeeping…

If you plan to participate but you’re not quite ready, never fear, we’ll post your link on days two or three (and rumor has it there could be a fourth bonus day for the fashionably late). Post a comment below, email me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, Twitter (@barry_cinematic), Instagram (barry_cinematic), or by commenting below. You may also contact Gill by commenting on her post, or through her blog’s Contact Me page.

Be sure to watch out for tomorrow’s batch of posts. Enjoy!

 

 

Forget calling an Uber. Join Terence Towles Canote as he takes The Devil Rides Out (1968) for a spin.    

You’d have to be daffy to pass on Kristina’s (from Speakeasy) review of Madhouse (1974). 

 

Virginia DeBolt from Old Ain’t Dead considers The VampireLovers (1970).  

 

Andrew Wickliffe from The Stop Button entrances us with his take on The Plague of the Zombies (1966).  

 

Joey from The Last Drive-In invites us to spend a night with The Psychopath (1966).  

 

Quiggy from The Midnite Drive-In serves us a delectable double feature of Hammer noir, with Bad Blonde (1953) and Man Bait (aka: The Last Page) (1952). 

 

The one and only Gill from Realweegiemidget Reviews discusses Ralph Bates’ career at Hammer (including an introduction by actress Judy Matheson). 

 

 

Space out with Greg Wilcox from Destroy All Fanboys as he explores The Terrornauts (1967).
