Trivia
Vincent Price was first offered the part of Paul Henderson but had to pass because he was under contract with American International Pictures to make horror films at the time.

Goofs
Paul Henderson's coffin opens on the right side to attack Inspector Holloway. Later, the coffin opens on its left.

Quotes
Paul Henderson: That's what's wrong with the present day horror films. There's no realism. Not like the old ones, the great ones. Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, Dracula - the one with Bela Lugosi of course, not this new fellow.

Amicus!

Another Amicus Production anthology starring Christopher Lee and the late Peter Cushing. It seems like you can never go wrong with those two - or Amicus for that matter; classic performances by both men indeed. I don't consider these tales terrifying but they offer substance and quality that becomes enjoyable to the viewer. I won't go into any detail concerning each tale, but like usual, they all represent a unified theme. The conclusion is satisfying and I would love the opportunity to own this film. A fun way to spend your afternoon if you cherish the usual setup from Amicus - and, if you're not familiar, why not get acquainted?
