[derek1969able]

sperrin. come on, hookers dont use odd numbers, spot on about the wages though.

[derek1969able]

smiler418. that was the going rate.

[dxgr81]

I guess that's one way to save money on a hooker...

[neddle69]

What's all this hammering all through the night? Ha!

[RosaLui]

Poor girl. :(

[The2TattooU]

Let Her In!!!!

[amck72]

Those were the days when dna technology did not exist

[theproplady]

So, everyone had Anton Chigurh hair back in the '70's?

[fuzzballzz36]

@theproplady Yes, the hairstyle on the Chigurh character was based on an extremely popular men's hairstyle from the '70s. It was everywhere on both sides of the Atlantic but it was really de rigeur for young British males.

[fuzzballzz36]

@theproplady Javier Bardem's face even resembles David Warner's somewhat!

[MARVIA35]

LLS "nothing like a drop of the hard stuff 2 turn me on" hahaha i know its not meant to be funny, but i just found that line hilarious.hahaha XXD

[Singerboy]

This film is a good solid movie you dont see many of them anymore

[wozzer2727]

Aah the thins you could do in the 70's before dna testing!!

[Stereolabdream]

That moment with the blood drip on the book is hilarious!

That was one aspect of the beauty of these Amicus films-they always found room for humour.

[britstarfan]

Peter Cushings performance is so understated in this movie-bu he ist still so brilliant, he makes "low budget" movies worth watching just by being in them.

[DMPX2012]

holy shit tommy chong hell yeah

[shaofu424]

featuring tommy chong as the evil spirit... ;)

[MrsNorris55]

Okay, this is a building full of flats, right? Not an apartment building with concrete floors and walls, right? So in this one unit there is screaming and smashing glass and things being thrown about and women pounding on the door and yelling AND HOW IS IT THE NEIGHBOURS DON'T NOTICE A THING??? At least not until blood starts seeping through somebody else's ceiling!

[MrsNorris55]

@MrsNorris55 Oh, and did I mention BURYING BODIES UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS???

[5355vbxjbj76rvn]

He could try covering the mirror

[25ghr]

What a waste of a good shag, the girl is lovely worth £5 or more, shame he kills her very sad

[onemooners]

those good looking gals,

[Psychatron]

'Feed me Seymour'!!

[snizz6913]

did I say totally HOTTTTT ? I meant to say SMOKIN' HOTTTTT!!!!!

[snizz6913]

david warner is a totally HOTTTTT !!!

[irisferguson]

@snizz6913 Whaaaaaaaaaaa????!!!

[GinaToySculptor]

Smash the mirror already.

[FLICKOFF1000]

isnt that cute...........hes telling a story to his kitty!

[TrainerJim22]

wasn't this guy the same one who was the photographer in The Omen? In that film, he gets his head cut off by a pane of glass

[natvar64]

@TrainerJim22 Yep, that's him, David Warner

[kookmartin]

the man telling stories to his cat is more frightening i think.

[kookmartin]

David Warner went on to play jack the ripper in time after time with Malcolm Mcdowell didnt he ??

[LoverswithCassie]

He did go on to play Jack The Ripper in Time After Time, that is correct. His character's name is John Leslie Stevenson.

[zhangfortang2]

"Feed me Blood" spooky

[neil73]

0:17 - 4 wine glasses on the lamptable. They must have filmed this scene immediately after the seance scene. Or maybe he doesn't tidy up; like most single men who live alone!

[cinefyl]

His dry cleaning bill is gonna be through the roof.

[bakhtn]

@MartinMirror1 he does

[bakhtn]

bring him blood, feed him chicken blood.

[area51er6]

funny, the first expendable human bait he thought of was a hooker, not to far off from real life.

[rem2267]

The guy in the mirror asks for blood, but he never says that it should be the blood of a female, yet Warner kills only women. Violence against women in films - how original (rolls eyes). I hate that bullshit.

[Sketchpcis]

@rem2267 you do realize what year this was made, right?

[rem2267]

@Sketchpcis - Yes, 1973. I was five years old. I'm not sure what the correlation is that you mention, so pls explain whenever you get the chance.

[Sketchpcis]

@rem2267 Well, it's kinda simple. When you think about the time this was made, women suffering was sort of second nature in these sorts of things. Also, look at it from a story point of view: back then how many male prostitutes were around? Also, how much easier is it for a strong male to overpower a (assuming they were) weaker female? While I'm with you on the prevalence of violence against women being something played out far too much (The Women in Fridge Syndrome of DC comics comes to mind),

[Sketchpcis]

@rem2267 (continued) at the time this was made, it wasn't as 'common' as you might think. Also the stereotypical view was women were the 'fairer' sex and easily overcome by a male.

[rem2267]

@Sketchpcis - Points well taken. It's always nice to read an insightful reply such as yours.

My favorite section was the one w/Donald P. (otherwise, I rank the segments at 1,4, and 3). Which did you like best?

[Sketchpcis]

@rem2267 Personally, I rather liked The Door (the last segment) simply because they guy and woman got away and destroyed the evil because he actually paid the shopkeep in full for the agreed price :P...made me chuckle a little. Then I would say the first segment (I'm a rather big David Warner fan) then the 2nd with Donald P. The 3rd segment seemed out of place, honestly and more comical than horrific. While the horror stories these are based on were like that, for a movie it felt out of place.

[rem2267]

@Sketchpcis - (continued) Thank God for the last segment w/Michael Redgrave (really handsome here), and that good wrap around story (although that last twist there was silly and unecessary as well). The rest were pretty good, too, esp. the children's party.

[rem2267]

@Sketchpcis Ugh, that 'comedy' 3rd story was so terrible, I had to fast-forward until the final minute -- the only good part. I rarely like the more comedic stories in anthologies, and this one took the 2nd place prize for it awfulness.

Worst ever was from the much older (the first?) anthology film, from 1945, "Dead of Night." That golfing fool with the hand-movements to break a spell or something was embarrassing + laughable (like Ms. Leighton's character here), and went on interminably.

[area51er6]

@rem2267 I agree I think the 2nd story was the only good one on here, vault of horror, and tales from the crypt were better, haven't seen "the house that dripped blood" yet though..

[burnleyboy01]

@area51er6 i saw the house that dripped blood about 5 years ago haha but it is a good one with another flawless performance from cushing

[area51er6]

@burnleyboy01 Yeah Peter Cushing was the only good part of THTDB, first story was allright too, the rest were crap, I still say TFTC is the best

[burnleyboy01]

@area51er6 yer i thought that as well but the john pertwee story started well but just went stupid further into it

[parkerboyuk]

@area51er6

crap's a bit harsh! :D The Christopher Lee one was ok. The first was definitely the best though. "Can't you see him?....he's sitting in the chair.."

[onemooners]

like little shop of horros

[opendtuning]

Right thats it the mirrors are coming down!!!...i would have paid a tenner for the girl,i always leave a tip...also the guy with the cat he was in a clip with Tommy Cooper great stuff...

[Mider999]

That guys girlfriend is rather lovely

[onemooners]

@Mider999 yes she is :)

[apsutter]

Shit, what is she? A 17th century flower girl? What a horrid accent!

[whiskeyify]

One of my all time favorites is "Dracula 1972 AD". It's a Hammer film of course.

[INSTINCTUKBM]

Shit, I'd give a tenner just to shut up! Hideous voice.

[smiler418]

£5 for a prostitue my how times have changed lol..................bugger lol

[Mider999]

@smiler418 your rather disgusting but none the less it depends on how poor they are

[davidhaythornthwaite]

@smiler418 i know, most arnt even worth that much now-a-days, lol

[sperrin]

@smiler418 Excpet of course £5 then was more then £5 now.

It'll work out about £53-£55 now.

Avearge wage in 1973 was about £25

[flanneryged]

S o o n I c a n w a l k i n D a y l i g h t,

I hope they can Talk a bit quicker when they get to our side of the Mirror,Should

this Bearded Tit strike up a conversation

with you it would take until the end of the

World for him to get to the point of what he was on about!!.Evil things like him and Frankenstein Monster and the Egyptian Mummies etc all stumble about,it's a miracle they caught any one!!.A Man with one Leg could outrun them.

[fandetulunar]

dady! NOT FUNNYii :s Blood-a!

[norristerse]

this film could have done with a director to say helpful things like;

"you know that line "feed me blood" -can you say it a bit faster?"

[neil73]

Love the funky music 3 minutes in! - the organ player appears to be playing something else!

[kukynphunt]

soon I'll walk in the day light with my ugly beard, muhaha, I'll never shave, never!

[neil73]

I'll get two razor blades and put them into the shape of a cross! Mwhahahaha!

[kukynphunt]

Only if it is an inverted cross knuck knuck}:>

[loveupskirts]

david warner brilliant actor
