This was a year before Tom Baker became Doctor Who... and the gothic horror themes seemed to have followed Baker at his footsteps in that series.
Baker was always a good actor... and his mood often matched with the somber note of his early Doctor Who shows and final season. Here, in the film, he captures the horror with his unique brand of acting. He is one of the highlights in the film.
Saw this movie in Seattle at an old ornate theater on 5th Avenue '72 . It was a double feature with The House That Dripped Blood.It was one of the few times Raymond Massey's children Anna and Daniel starred together.
they should bring back Amicus and Hammer in full force. not trying to get at the teen demographic. just do well written-horror movies with adults for adults. anthologies are such a gem also,
wow Tom Baker really IS an extraordinary actor. I always wondered if he'd done any horror films. I really AM looking forward to another fine brit-horror flick.
seediermedia, I have subscribed to a few of your channels over the years. Thanks for keeping these Amicus movies up on youtube.I am forever in your debt.
Just saw this on cable - Great movie! Can't beat seeing Tom Baker, that's for sure - especially if you're a big Doctor Who geek like myself. Thanks for uploading! I can share this one with my friends. :o)
Does anyone know if this is the original R rated version or the chopped up PG rated version? The poorly edited PG rated version is from the double DVD set which also includes the original Tales from the Crypt movie.
@chewbacca4me You can tell in the next section. In lieu of the gory scenes in the cut version a still on a rostrum is used. Both existing versions still lack the full ending.
I hope Harold dies ugly, tortuously, and real slow; the cheat murderer bastard. (Don't anyone spoil it for everyone, though, with something like: "He does." or "He doesn't.".)
Why does he kill the private detective, it makes no sense? it would be very difficult to get rid of the corpse from the flats. Good to see Guy/Jeff Pratt pre-Randall & Hopkirk deceased. Not as good as Tales from the crypt though.
ok what thell is this movie about .I understand horror and tales from the crypt stuff but this is weird to the point of scary-- just watched it on FOXMO channel (dish) -can somebody please explain what the movie is about? thankyou.
continued, thing about 2000 to 2010 were the Computer games, Console Video games and Arcade Video games, nothing else really, thank goodness for Computer games, Console Video games and Arcade Video games, it made that decade feel much better than it really was (well that is how it seemed to me at the time anyway). i do not think 2010 to 2020 will be any better (i shall just have to pin my hopes on Computer games, Console Video games and Arcade Video games, now being even better).
i miss the 70s, i wish i could go back too 1970 and relive the the decade again, the music, the people and the holidays, camping in cornwall or butlins , the greatest days of my life
You can still dress the way they do in the 1970s and the 60s....just Google "Vintage Whistles" or "Savvy Row" great cloths are waiting at good cheap prices -- some hardly worn. I bought a great Harris Tweed Blazer so this is NOT an advert.... I don't work for them... I.just love the cloths. When you dress up you respect yourself and other you, so don't let the slobs put you off.
@JayKay62969 thats funny you said that,my boys say how sick they are of me talking about my beloved 70s,16 years old in 76 best time of my life,everything was brand new,1st time with my 1st love,she will always be theeee 1,first time for mushrooms,and weed,we smoked leaves rhen,lol the music will never b better,the best friends i ever had and will have,getting into r rated movies,the best tv,midnight speacial,don kirshners rock concert,ha ha dateing my teachers sister,need i say more?oh peacelol
@JayKay62969 I do to a certain degree. I don't remember them real well, because I was a little girl during the seventies, (I was born in 1971) but then things were very impressionable to me from that time because I was little. I remember watching Seventies' late-night television and then movies like these coming on and them having such an effect on me. There was a distinct feeling and atmosphere of watching these movies in our basement on late summer nights.
1970's have more advanced films more than this film Ex Robot Cup 1987 in fact it made in 1977 not 1987 This Film seems to be older than 1973 it seems to produced and filmed in late 1950's because it carries many ideas of Albert Inechtine
@barrab Whichever. My memories consist of 70's late night television. So, maybe stuff that had been made during a different time, like this movie, but stuff that was still a part of 70's television.
Does anyone know the movie where a man cuts off all his limbs with a sword, he blows fire with his mouth & turns a man into an electronic sound system?
@schildno5 - That sounds just like the result of my taking mescaline (once + only once, the later part of the trip was horriffic), when I was young and dumb (16). Now I just pop pillls.
@goodbyelonglive44 very preppy, needs to come back. I liked what the psycho brother who got it from the vamps was wearing. I'd wear that. Atleast he was dressed for fine dining. :-()
The supposedly complete, restored and uncensored version was first shown on British TV in 2008. But even this version omitted the original closing shots of the film, where the main characters are seen with skeletal faces, indicating their clearly-deceased state.
