"Hammer Horror" is a song by Kate Bush, released as the first single from her second album Lionheart.
[3] "Hammer Horror"s low chart position proved to be a temporary phenomenon, as Bush's next single returned her to the top 20.
The song references Hammer Films, a company specializing in horror movies.
[5] The guilt-ridden narrator of the song is haunted by the ghost of the jealous original actor, who was a former friend.
A promotional video was made for the single featuring Bush and a black-masked dancer performing the song against a black background.
