'Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense' was barely broadcast in my region, so that was another one I caught up with on cable in the 90s, on Carlton Select, I believe. More recently, I bought the series on DVD from Germany, as the UK DVD releases are now very expensive to get second hand (I sold my own sets years ago). Still to watch them all, but 'In Possession', a remake of an old 'Out of the Unknown' episode, remains a chilling favourite. I also thought about buying this new edition from last year, but couldn't decide. I bought others like diverse Sherlock Holmes editions, watched a few episodes, got bored - or just didn't like it - and put it on the shelf never to look at it again. I am wary and fear HHoH will suffer the same fate. So old productions often have aged badly.

Rude Awakening is the one with Denholm Elliot I think, with Cushing being in Silent Scream. House that Bled to Death is the episode with the kids party when blood comes out of the taps? Yes, yes, and yes. Water pipe bursting free of the wall and drenching nippers in the red stuff. That one got talked about a lot in school after broadcast, though the thing that creeped me out most about it was a scene involving false teeth by the bedside instead of gouts of blood. Ah, yes, it was the pipes, now I remember--thanks very much.
