Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense - Paint Me a Murder / Opening Scene (Official Clip)

James Laurenson stars as an artist whose paintings don't sell. Laurenson's imaginative wife Michelle Phillips reasons that sales of Laurenson's works would increase tenfold if he were to die.

Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense, aired in the United States as Fox Mystery Theater, is a British mystery anthology television series produced in Britain in 1984 by Hammer Film Productions. Though similar in format to the 1980 series Hammer House of Horror, the Mystery and Suspense series had feature-length episodes, usually running around 70 minutes without commercials.

The series was a co-production by Hammer Film Productions with 20th Century Fox Television (as was the 1968 anthology series Journey to the Unknown). It was first aired in the UK by ITV in 1984, though it was shown in different timeslots (and a different running order) throughout the various ITV regions.

Calling show Percabeth rushed is some funny because people act like they're already dating. We get to see them develop a crush (which is canon that they had at 12) but most importantly they're building a friendship.

We're also not in Percy's POV so ofc we can see how Annabeth acts around him objectively and not how, my sweet oblivious child, Percy interprets it. Also how he acts.

Readers also know what's to come so ofc we read into their dynamic a bit differently than non-readers. But nothing about their current dynamics is inherently romantic.

They're slow burn not because they're at odds with each other or because they don't like each other. They're a slow burn because YEARNING, takes them a while to process and accept those feelings and the whole you know, fucked up circumstances they live through so they have other priorities.

Astral learning things about the Earth and its culture thanks to television is both hilarious and cute to me.

One of the headcanon that lives in my head rent-free is that, when Astral watches the TV all the night, he remembers everything he saw, and then tell Yuma what he learned, and most of the time those are the most random facts that you can imagine (and while Yuma has to remind him that not everything that is on TV is real, some times he too learns something new).

Okay, so between all the varied decor in the three’s house in both the Web and TV Version, I would like to draw folks’ attention to the horsies. 

In “Computers”, you can see this horse picture on the wall, plus a little horsey statuette on the bookshelf below.

The picture shows up occasionally on the TV’s kitchen set -

And the statue shows up consistently in the living room -

Now, the reason why I find these horses more intriguing than the other bits and bobs in the DHMIS backdrops - is because there’s one more time horses appear on DHIMS’s background design.

In the ‘real world’ segments of ‘Dreams’, on Red Guy’s work desk.

This horse toy is the only real piece of decor on this desk, this is the only way Red Guy chose to decorate that drab and empty cubicle. Which makes me think… Is the horse decor in the trio’s house, at least in the Web Show Continuity, also Red Guy’s choice? Are these in their living room because Red Guy likes Horses??

Now I am conflicted between making a very serious analysis post about horses being generally a symbol for, like, independence and freedom. Like the TV Show pointed out, they’re literally a form of transportation -

And how that would obviously relate to Red Guy’s character and arc and especially with the horse imagery first appearing in the fourth episode of the web show, “Computers”, which is exactly the episode where Red Guy started to break away from the confines of their world, and especially especially with the framing of the horse imagery (and the little duck statues flying free) contrasted against Yellow Guy’s very restrictive portrait of himself alongside his dad...

And between just ending this post with “Redguy Donthugmeimscared is a Certified Canonical Horsegirl” and not elaborating further.
