Hammer Heads

Miles and Marcus take a trip into The Vault of Horror, Amicus’s 1973 anthology of gruesome goings-on, deadly dilemmas and very poor life choices. Expect five tales of terror, where the dead refuse to stay buried and karma comes with a body count. But is this a horror treasure… or should it have stayed six feet under?

Miles and Marcus check into Asylum, Amicus’s 1972 anthology of madness, murder and questionable mental health care. Prepare for a few twisted tales, as we find out whether Asylum is a horror classic… or a movie that should never have been released without a doctor’s note!

The kids are revolting, Granny’s inheritance is up for grabs and gaslighting becomes a full-contact sport. Miles and Marcus are joined by special guest Andy Stanton to climb the unpleasant hill of Amicus oddity in What Became of Jack and Jill? From mod-era nihilism to weaponised paranoia and one of the nastiest nursery rhymes ever put on film.

Miles and Marcus crack open Tales from the Crypt – where the stories are short and the horror is grave. Expect crypt-ic humor, spine-tingling chat, and enough dead jokes to raise the dad.

Miles and Marcus plunge into the shadowy psyche of Amicus Productions’ “I, Monster”, where Freud would be right at home and the battle between the id, ego and superego gets very messy indeed.

Miles and Marcus dive back into the eerie corridors of The House That Dripped Blood, as we rediscover this classic Amicus anthology and put it under the Hammer Heads microscope. Stick around as we unpack its creepy tales and decide if this one still drips with dread!

Miles and Marcus dissect the wonderfully bonkers 1970 Amicus fever dream, Scream and Scream Again. Strap in as we piece together this confusing, cinematic Frankenstein, limb by limb.

Miles and Marcus take a trip to the Torture Garden, where they uncover an evil cat, vain automatons, a haunted piano, and Edgar Allan Poe in Amicus Productions’ weird and wonderful 1967 portmanteau film.

Miles and Marcus try not to be buzzkills as they investigate Amicus’s B-Movie Bee Movie, The Deadly Bees.

Miles and Marcus crack open the toy chest of terror as they dissect The Psychopath (1966), Amicus Productions’ creepy classic of killer dolls and buried secrets.
