House of Hammer, Halls of Hammer, and Halls of the House of Hammer (I might be mixing it up a little but they did have this name problem) was a sequence of horror movie magazines published on and off since the late sixties or seventies. It was for the fandom of Hammer Films which is a British goth horror movie production getup from the 1930s that survived to reach the western Lugosi era horror monster craze with Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, the monster from the lagoon, the phantom of the opera and so forth

I don't feel like watching modern crap but I will at least say on the face of it "House of Hammer" is a rudely wide umbrella of a name and a cop-out that can justify using any culturally osmosed goth fantasy horror story. I think a show to honor that name would come off like a Twilight Zone of its genre, adapting specific magazine shorts. Which would be cool I guess. It's just that the older the material is, the more done-over it feels because everything steals from everything else. If you change it enough to make it fresh you are taking a giant poop on some famous industry-person's legacy.

The best option would just be to create new, compelling stories... or, as a company that tells compelling stories, shut down? Like if I sold avacados and I couldn't grow my own, and no one wanted to buy upmarked resold avacados, I would close the ol' avacado stand for good. That's life lol.
