Reading up on this article from the official Hammer website I learned about the new Hammer Trivia website. Think you know your Hammer films well? Then demonstrate your knowledge against other online players in four trivia games about Dracula, Vampire Lore, Frankenstein or Monsters.
Once I figured out what to do I managed to occasionally make it to the first rank of a game, but I also managed to seriously screw up some of the rounds as some of the questions really require great memory about details in those Hammer films and all the games have an added time factor.
Each game has 10 different questions. You start with 1000 points in your account and in each round must choose how many of your points you are willing to bet on the right answer. Four possible answers are then revealed and the faster you provide the correct answer the higher your overall points payout will be.
All the games are available for free, but it appears that you can also bet some real money in the hope of making it towards a payout. So if you’re really good with your Hammer knowledge you could even make yourself a few bob.
The Top 5 ranked Hammer Trivia gamers by midnight, Friday September 18 will all receive a complimentary copy of Marcus Hearn’s new Hammer Glamour book.
If that isn’t incentive enough to give these games a try I don’t know what is.
The only downside: Each time a new game loads you need to view a trailer for Beyond the Rave. Oh, the horror of it!

Argh, seriously addictive, maybe, but seriously annoying, too. Doesn't work on Firefox and even on IE it picks and chooses when to load properly. ><
I use Chrome and it works nicely here. Weird that the other more popular Browsers are causing this problem.
