Hammer House Of Horror - Episode 5 - The House That Bled To Death

A couple and their yound daughter move into a house that was once witness to a murder. Before they have chance to settle in properly strange things start to happen causing them to think the house may be haunted.

People either seem to think it's the creepiest episode or just the worst of the whole series. I'm sort of in the middle if I'm honest, as it definitely has some pretty creepy moments and may well be the goriest of all the 13. There's a severed hand in the fridge, the daughters cat is found dead on the window ledge and we get the infamous birthday party scene where a bunch of small children are soaked in blood from a burst pipe. The "twist" ending is a bit silly though but I still enjoy this one. 5.5/10
