A second television series, Hammer House of Mystery
and Suspense, was produced in 1984 and also ran for 13
episodes. The stories were originally to have been the
same 1-hour length as their previous series, but it was
decided to expand them to feature-length so as to market
them as 'movies of the week' in the US.
The series was
made in association with 20th Century Fox (who
co-produced four of the thirteen films) and as such,
some of the sex and violence seen in the earlier series
was toned down considerably for US television. Each
episode featured a star, often American, well-known to
US viewers. This series was Hammer's final production of
any kind to date.
