Hi Simon

Thanks for your email. I've sent a reply. It would be cool to receive some pics of your the props you have. I'll post them up permanently to the main site.

I seem to recollect (or it maybe its a dream!), around the time of the auction that was held at Hampden House, a few days later a coffin appeared in a wood near to where I lived. The story was in the local rag and I'm sure it said it was from the HHoH series.

Hello Neil, it was most likely from the series as you say, at the original auction at Hampden house there were several coffins sold of in the auction, along with a range rover, other coffins various fetish dolls, a dagger, dining room table and chairs, an alter and various other lots, i used to have a copy of the auction brochure but im afraid i cant find it, can any of the other members help out on this.......

I'm a huge fan of Hammer house of horror and have to say I find the props pics fascinating.

If You have any more pics I would love to seem them and I'm sure others would too :)

I think I mentioned this elsewhere on the site, but I know that Charlie Boy - the african fetish - is in the collection of the British Film Institute. It used to sit in its own display cabinet at The Museum of the Moving Image on the South Bank in London. There didnt seem to be much information given about Charlie Boy except a label saying something like "Charlie Boy, Hammer House of Horror."

Simon has been involved with various exhibitions at the MOMI so it could well have been his Charlie Boy on show. I expect he will shed some light on this....
