AQUARIUS Hammer House of Horror Playing Cards - 8 of Diamonds

 

"X the Unknown"! someone made a movie about Algebra? Now that is terrifying. In reality this 1956 film is about a radio active monster which is much less scary than Algebra. I think it's an atomic version of the blob.

 Saluting these two 1971 Hammer films the seven of diamonds is a plane black and white card. If the whole suit was black and white cards it would be a little better visually.

 Another double feature Hammer poster. I'm not sure why they didn't just use one poster and not the double, but I guess the double is more appealing. 

I will also have to point out that the six and the nine for this deck are the same. I know this is common but I would rather see a draftsman's nine which can be distinguished from a six no matter what direction it is seen in.

The five of diamonds here is the french cover art for Hammer's 1966 'Dracula: Prince of Darkness'. Why it's a five I don't know, but I guess it could be the five points made by the four teeth and the bat but who really knows. 

The cards would be better with a few more facts about the film. Horror fans will love every card in this deck but this card is less than spot on.
