I didn't take the regional factor into consideration and only looked at the published broadcast dates on the IMDb and Wikipedia, so that's a very good point.

Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense:
Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense.... Does anyone actually remember this,Im sure i watched when shown on telly but I cannot remember any episodes... Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense was a short-lived (one season) anthology television series from Hammer Studios. Though similar in format to the 1980 series Hammer House of Horror, the Mystery and Suspense series had feature-length episodes, usually running around 70 minutes without commercials. The series was a co-production by Hammer Studios with 20th Century Fox Television (as was the 1968 anthology series Journey to the Unknown), and is known in the United States as Fox Mystery Theater. Unlike 1980's Hammer House of Horror, all the episodes (with the exceptions of "Czech Mate" and "The Corvini Inheritance") had American actors as either the leads or in key roles. It was first aired in the UK by ITV in 1984, though was not simulcast and was shown in different timeslots (and a different running order) throughout the various ITV regions.

Some very good episodes. Whilst one or two are more comfortable in Thriller territory some are out and out horror. And the Walls Came Tumbling Down is a superb occult horror with manifestations in an old church on a building site. It's my favourite from the whole 'Hammer House of...' series |

You probably recall the episode Child's Play in which a family are trapped in their house by a grey wall with no windows or means of escape. The denouement is a classic. Once seen never forgotten. |

No. I see it's not going cheap either. £70+ for half a series with the complete box set unavailable. I would hope Network might get it at some point although the series was released by DD Entertainment so perhaps Icon now have it (They released a bunch of DD titles again a few years back - X The Unknown, The Abominable Snowman etc. Hammer House of Horror was originally released by Carlton. Network seem to have all their stuff. |
