What is your favourite Hammer House of Horror (the 1980 TV series) episode?


What is your favourite episode from the 1980 TV series HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR? I LOVE the doppleganger one, which was shown again tonight on SKY. VERY creepy, from the opening scene where the family pick up the yellow-clad hitchiker, to devious hospital staff and district nurse, to the suspenseful, nerve-jangling scenes back at the wife's home, where she realises her husband is not all he seems to be!

A brilliant episode. I like them all, but this one is my absolute favourite!

I liked the original Hammer Films, The Curse of the Werewolf, with Oliver Reed was my favourite.

The house that bled to death, omg glad you remember then I was only a kid and we used to act them out at play times ha

The survivors of a plane crash meet for dinner and enjoy a meal together. Only later do we realise that they survived by eating their fellow passengers and that their meat courses are human. I think they get the meat by causing their own form of 'roadkill' by running people off the road and crashing their car.

Two Faces of Evil - the one you mention with the hitchhiker in the raincoat.

I remember seeing the very beginning of it when I was about 9, before my mum hastily shipped me off to bed, and it has remained with me for over 25 years!

It was only about a year ago that I discovered that the yellow raincoat man with the long fingernail was Hammer House of Horror and so have been watching them all to see it again. It was very strange seeing it again after all that time and finally knowing that I hadn't invented it in my head!!
