"Requistat In Pace Ultima" ( Ode To Hammer)
As
I was walking out one day
I
came across a place called Bray.
A
quiet spot of films and glamour
It
used to be The House of Hammer.
By
night and day and day and night
Its
object was to give a fright.
The
dead that walked were often seen
Relaxing
on the studio green.
Werewolves,
vampires and assorted terrors
Were
all employed by James Carreras.
The
likes of Cushing, Reed and Lee
All
worked there - not infrequently.
Its
reign was short but oh so sweet
A
golden time on
The
films were great, their style inclusive
Strange
for a firm once called Exclusive.
