Hello boys and ghouls…

Halloween is soon approaching, so we at Daysarenumbers thought we would give you some devilish delights and some terror – or terrible puns from here till Saturday. So, expect the best picks of dastardly disco, macabre movie moments and shitloads of scary stuff!!! Well, not that scary. But you know what I mean.

So let’s get spooky with our first ghoulish delight…

Everyone has seen at least one episode of Hammer House of Horror, right? (If you haven’t, check out Men & Motors on a Sunday night at 9pm! It finishes just in time for Match of the Day 2. Perfect!)

Campy, hilarious and sometimes actually really scary, only 13 episodes were made and everyone from Denholm Elliot and Diana Dors starred in creepy tales that ranged from bleeding houses to demented children. For me, the undisputed highlight of the show was the fantastic theme tune by Roger Webb. A sweeping, eerie number that is almost wistful, it’s sumptuous strings entice you into a false sense of calm, making you all relaxed before you watch a house bleed to death. Once you’ve heard it, you’ll never forget it and you’ll want to hear it all the time. A stirring, creepy easy listening masterpiece, it’s the perfect way to kick off your Halloween.
