Okay, macabre fans... your challenge this week:
HDH157
"Hammer House of Horror"

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
that is a tribute to Hammer Films http://www.hammerfilms.com

Hammer Films have been prolific in the horror film genre since the early
1950's. They released numerous sequel films to Dracula, Frankenstein,
and The Mummy.

This carried over into the 1960's with crime thrillers like
Maniac, in 1963.  Along with tons more classic monster
sequel films like "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" in 1973,
"Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" in 1974, and
"Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" in 1971.


Hammer Film Productions are still releasing horror films to this day.
"Let Me In" was released in 2010, and "The Lady in Black" was released in 2012.


We want to see what impression the Hammer House of Horror films left indented on your soul mwahahaha.
Now go forth and create greatness!!

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.
