The House of Horror was one of the first books about Hammer Horror. As such at least the early editions have historical value. The text primarily consists of two or three sentence summaries of all the films with very little background info. The book is richly illustrated and the early editions incorporate a gallery of Hammer Glamour pictures (some of which I now have autographed).

Newer editions exchange those galleries with an essay about modern day non-Hammer Vampire movies written by Jack Hunter which is neither here nor there. As such those later editions actually have *less* to offer for the Hammer Fan.

In the subsequent years many more superior books about the subject have been written, so at the moment this is for completists only. If you need to have a copy of the book try and find some of the older editions from the 1970s and 80s. ( )
