VISION ON SOUND EPISODE 84 - TX MAY 15 2022 - HAMMER HOUSES ON TV

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on May 15th 2022

Vision On Sound is currently, like many, a House of Disease, so several of our planned programmes have had to be postponed as our guests recuperate, and we hope that they will get well soon. Luckily for me, and the show, and hopefully all of you out there, I can usually rely on one or two of our regular visitors to step up at short notice and find something television-related for us to talk about, so that we don’t have to vanish into any dark dimensions ourselves for a couple of weeks.

So, I am more than pleased this week to welcome back PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI, who is a big fan of the anthology mystery and terror television series, of which there have been several over the years, including ORSON WELLES’ GREAT MYSTERIES, THRILLER, CHILLER, TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, TWILIGHT ZONE, and many more.

PAUL joined me for a very off-the-cuff chat about two of his favourites as we grabbed hold of a giant iron knocker, and rapped timorously on the imposing, and frankly terrifying, doors of two of the great HAMMER HOUSES of television.

THE HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR presented ITV viewers with thirteen fifty-minute tales of terror in late 1980, and, about four years later, THE HAMMER HOUSE OF MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE was released, and gave us another thirteen disturbing and edgy tales to ponder upon, this time lasting seventy minutes a week.
