Hammerin' Fears: "The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas" (1957)

Hammerin' Fears
Hello, Pulp Friends,

due to an unexpected tie between HAMMER OKTOBER and BLOODY PULP, I decided to tackle both topics: hope you guys don't mind me doing so ;)

The title Hammer Oktober has morphed in HAMMERIN' FEARS and will run every Friday in October. Bloody Pulp has morphed into THE VAULT OF FEAR and will run every Sunday (yep, a Bloody Pulp Sunday! :D)

To start, here's a classic from HAMMER Films: "The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas" (1957), directed by Val Guest and starring Forrest Tucker and Peter Cushing.

Buona Visione and have a Pulp Friday everyone! :)

Cheers,
Francesco

    Cool movie. Peter Cushing and Forrest Tucker starred if I'm remembering correctly.

    oops, I forgot to mention that I also added the trailer for the movie to the post and I will be doing the same with the next installments of HAMMERIN' FEARS.
    Hope you guys dig the addition :)
