I don't actually know what "Bad Bad Cinema" is but as a fan of good, good cinema I can point you to the corresponding page at Wikipedia, which purports to list all Exclusive/Hammer films by decade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hammer_filmsThe longer way around would be to obtain a copy of Tom Johnson and Deborah del Vecchio's HAMMER FILMS: AN EXHAUSTIVE FILMOGRAPHY, published a few years ago by McFarland. I don't agree with all of the authors' opinions but their dedication is beyond reproach and their book invaluable to Hammerheads.

David, Jill Haworth is also worth tracking down, especially for the Yuletide, in the 1972 TV movie Home for the Holidays. I included it in my "Cruel Yule" series of reviews of Christmastime horror last year.

It. Not the Clara Bow hit about that special ingredient in your makeup that makes you so unexplicably appealing that the only explanation is that you have 'IT." No, this is about the real IT. The kill-kill-kill stone statue that does Roddy McDowell's bidding in that totally un-with-it 1966 horror film. I want to thank you publishing a long forgotten but favorite publicity still from a film featuring a favorite minor league actress, Otto Preminger's replacement for his failed discovery Jean Seberg. She appeared in three of his films, probably the most remembered films of her career – Exodus, The Cardinal, In Harm's Way. But I like her best with IT. Also, her appearance in the always-maligned Tower of Evil aka Horror of Snape Island is welcome any day in my book mates!

Wasn't there also an X-Files episode involving a golem? Oh, probably. Those people had their fingers in many a pie.

The Golem also lives on in comic books. Check out the acclaimed graphic novel "The Golem's Mighty Swing" by James Sturm.Wasn't there also an X-Files episode involving a golem?
