Hammer House of Podcast - Episode 10

Hello! And welcome to the fifth episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. In this month's episode we encounter a mummy. Not the actual original mummy, but a rewrite of Universal's original mummy in The Mummy (1959). Hammer have been freed from the shackles of legal worry, having reached an agreement wiht Universal that means they can now nick their plots and monster designs. Is this a good idea? No. Not really. The Mummy might have Peter Cushing as our dashing hero, and Christopher Lee as the monster, but it's no Dracula, or Curse of Frankenstein. On the bright side, Christopher Lee is wears gold nail polish, and if you have a short memory for plot, you're in luck! This film will remind you again and again of what just happened.   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HHoP Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammerHousePod
