<![CDATA[Hammer Time.]]>Hammer Time.

A friend told me they were planning an October rewatch of classic horror movies. I said, "So just Hammer, huh?" They said, "...what?"

Ok, so, some of you never studied, and don't know about Hammer Horror. I have made you an introductory playlist.

Not at all clear how one can talk about ‘classic horror movies’ and not know about Hammer unless one was almost literally born yesterday. It’s like talking about ‘classical music’ and never having heard of Beethoven.

I also blame @cstross for getting me to watch *The Abominable Dr. Phibes* which isn’t Hammer but seems adjacent.
