NEWS… It’s the 4th Hammer and Amicus Blogathon Final Day, or Maybe Not

#AllPosts

 

Join us today for these final thoughts about Hammer and Amicus movies…

 

These are the last of those posts from those fantastic writers for just now, so keep tuning in as there are many more to come.

The final day of the Hammer and Amicus has come around again for the fourth time. At my last count 18 wonderful entries from writers from here and there have joined Barry at Cinematic Catharsis and I. This talented bunch of writers added their entertaining tributes relating to the Hammer and Amicus productions in some delightful posts.

As this event is like those blogathons that Cinematic Catharsis and I have held before, and there are many more to come please tune in tomorrow as we are expecting further entries. This will come as always in a new post so you get maximum coverage for your article. This is only for entrants from different time zones and those running late. If you are in this group of writers please let Barry and I know when to expect your review.

Also to those of you who added your post in the wee small hours and those who published and added a comment here after 9pm Finnish time. If this is you, you have been added to my post today, and possibly Barry’s post in my yesterday as you will know there are about 8 hours between us.

Finally, I would also like to thank my twice yearly co-host, Barry at Cinematic Catharsis for his sterling support and presence at this event. I’d also like to give a huge shout out to all the readers and to actress Judy Matheson for enthusiastically supporting this blogathon.

Also, a big thanks to all of the contributors for bringing some wonderful reviews of some familiar and new movies to the proceedings. I’ve really enjoyed reading all your posts, and please tell me if your comments not showing on your post, or in moderation or spam.

This year brought many movies some that I’ve still to watch, but now know much more about through your inviting and well researched posts. If you want to catch up with those posts you haven’t read yet, here are the links to Day 1 and Day 2.

If you’ve already got your blogathon entry in mind for next year, hold that thought. In my discussions with Barry, we have two original topics coming up. The only clues I’m giving are that these are one is about an actor and the other one is about something much more random.

We are planning to now hold the Hammer and Amicus blogathon every two years, in the hope that one day we – with those entrants’ help – will possibly cover all the movies from Hammer and Amicus. So here are those final reviews (for today)… and click on those blue links to read these posts.
