the only one of hhoh that i really really liked was the one with the doppelgangers and it did make me jump first time i saw the scene where the boy turned out to be a doppelganger when it cut to the dead original next to him

By:
there was some really sinister Tales of the unexpected though wheras HHOH was alwasy a bit tongue in cheek even if more explicityly 'horror'
there was one quite horrible TOTU where a girl was traped by a husband and wife peado trap |
|
By:
Plenty about HHOH online I see.
never realised there were only 13 episodes!? can't find the one with Avon from Blakes 7 in it, even though I'm looking at the cast lists Lol @ Emma Ridley the famous eighties 'wild child' as a cute kiddie in The House that Bled to Death |

Wasn't Hammer the one where they always had an American in it to make it easier to sell to the yanks?

Found it.
Guardian of the Abyss the story Satanic Ritual An antique mirror turns up at a house clearance. A young girl on the run from a cult society claims the the mirror is a scrying glass used to summon Chorozon, the almighty devil. Soon the society led by Charles Randolph are keen to get their hands on both the mirror and the girl. Also there's an episode about voodoo called Charlie Boy. Just seen the doll from it and brings back memories immediately! Definitely had fkn nightmares over that one! Would probably laugh at it now if I watched it, but no way would I take the chance! |

By:
sorry citroen only just seen your post, fully agree with you

Thriller had some fairly sexualised storylines if I recall.
Stuff that just wouldn't get on the box now |
|
By:
there was one quite horrible TOTU where a girl was traped by a husband and wife peado trap
that was aired on 256 last year, extremely sinister tale, more scary because of its plausibility |
