The Crestwood House is a seasonal podcast that I co-host with my best buds Paxton Holley and Michael May all about classic horror movies from the 1900s-1970s. We started the show in the fall of 2021 and have been recording episodes for four years now.

We released this episode back in September of 2022 as the season 2 midpoint, it followed the Universal Mummy film in our 9-movie daisy chain as they both focused on the Mummy as a cinema monster. This is one of the films that I came to when I was in my late 20s and investigating Hammer Horror for the first time. I thought it was pretty cool that Christopher Lee ended up playing the first three Hammer monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster and the Mummy), all three of which were aided or hunted by Peter Cushing in a supporting role.
