God bless you sir !

My son and I sometimes have a movie night ( it's raining) and we've started this one because we can do it in sections. What a cast ! You're absolutely right. This film's special and of a time when Hammer etc made great , cheap exciting films . I'm remembering the Dennis Wheatley film with the enormous hairy spider trying to get through the pentagram ! Have you seen that one ? PS my son's a rock guitarist and he indulges me 😊

Agreed. The usual suspects at the time were on top of their game & nobody could challenge their style of storytelling.

And Michael Gough

that's because anything they are in becomes good

Me too.

@@ParadoxapocalypSatan Alfred! :D

@@citycrusher9308 But also, they're in a lot of good movies, they don't just liven up the dogs for us.

Roy Castle was actually multi - talented -- good musician -- tap dancer and comedian too -- had an early death from lung cancer although he'd never smoked -- believed to have been through exposure when he played trumpet I think in clubs -- was probably only 60 ish when he died

@@normanbell-br7nf Yes that's true, he was indeed very talented. Only 62 when he died.

😂😂😂 good one!

I read they all very good friends.

Great actor. Camp as a row of tents.

Cushing, Price & Lee: "we belong dead".

Donald Sutherland is still alive but of course is very old now.

Yes these British horrors are brilliant but the dog being strangled to death was too much for me. I still feel traumatised

@@dogfriendly1623 Don't worry, he wasn't REALLY strangled to death, it's just a story.

He aged for a lot longer and became the future ruler of our society called Panem.

Are you familiar with your name's origin ? It has got some very noble English roots.

I watched all Amicus horror anthologies last week

Sitting home with gas in the car and most places closed, with a small glass of Rum Chata and dark chocolate and after shaving my head nothing else to do but to watch this...

@@photomaster1 🤣🤣🤣😷😷😷

Me, Flor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🙄🙄🙄😪😪😪.

@@floranderson2251 it seems you have mixed emotions after watching it.

I agree, I don't know what it was about them, but they had to be from that time. I don't know what it was about the late sixties, early seventies, but that for some reason was the key time to make them.

Amicus made the best ones

Vault of Horror 🌟💫⚡

Me too

I was at a pub quiz and the question was, name a famous castle...and someone replied "Roy castle"...

Prevalent. Good.

I have loved EVERYTHING they have ever made!!!

@MrInvisible777 how bout when he played Grimsdyke in Tales From the Crypt?

I actually watched that movie yesterday lol

Even that cold, imperious look after having the door almost closed on him in the opening scene is class.

@@dahliagreen5919 That withering stare he gives Roy Castle! 🤨

😂😂

TV now is full of w**kers. I find it utterly repulsive. Bye bye TV license about 4 years ago. Utter c**p!

Did they still show classic British horrors like this in the '90s? I thought that had stopped by then. As a kid I stayed up late every Friday night to watch the BBC2 horror double bill, during the '70s and 80s. And on a tiny, black and white portable telly, with crappy reception and the sound down really low, so parents wouldn't know I was awake! I think hardly being able to see or hear the movies made them even scarier! Happy days.

@@glamdolly30 yes they still had the hammar horror flicks on late night TV juring the 90's. I used to love Halloween especially but now they don't show didly. I dont watch terrestrial television anymore it's garbage.

@@krushjones6596 I know exactly what you mean, I rarely watch more than the news on terrestrial TV now - it's mostly garbage as you say. They never seem to show great old classic movies like this on TV any more, do they? And don't get me started on boring reality TV and all the fake so-called 'celebrities' it spawns, YAWN! I get all the entertainment I need from KZfaq, and there is a fairly good choice of movies here for free. Have you used the 'Daily Motion' video sharing website? It isn't as big as KZfaq, but sometimes you can strike lucky and find a TV show/movie there that isn't on KZfaq. Always worth checking if you're looking for something in particular that's not here. I found a favourite horror movie 'From Beyond the Grave' on Daily Motion, when it was absent from KZfaq. For some reason it always gets taken down by the copyright police, if someone uploads it here. Thankfully some kind person managed to put it on DM in two halves.

@@glamdolly30 yup I'm 33 and growing up in the early and mid to late 1990s they showed these Classic Horror films every Friday and Saturday night on the mainstream channels BBC 1 and 2 and Channel 4, occasionally you'd get one on middle of the Week.

It's meant to be a bit like the Twighlight Zone I think

You must be in the US, where it was unrated. In the UK it was adults only.

No it’s definitely the macabre just desserts type of horror, in all the stories people so bad things and by the end they get fatally punished for it

Not to mentio Britjazz legend Tubby Hayes caught on film before his untimely death.

Baby Sotherland! Like Muppet Babies!

and Bernard Lee. and Strange to see Alan Freeman in an acting role.

Today it is all about quick and cheap. Modern moves included. There is no incentive to write quality material as the bean counters want everything like yesterday and sell it for a quick profit. So glad these old movies are still around.

You are so right the old one are the best

You are so right the classic are the best that why i enjoy them

Intellectual horror is actually making a big comeback recently, with films like Hereditary, Get Out and Witch moving slowly and with much more subtlety. Profanity is a natural reaction to fear though, and I'm pretty sure people swore when they were scared even back when this movie came out, they just weren't allowed to include that in films. Violence and profanity aren't awful on their own, as long as it assists the story and isn't a cheap, quick way to simulate fear without putting the hard work in to build it up.

Great

I also watched movies like this when living in a nurses home.Many of them i'd seen before when younger,but always made me feel homesick when living out.

My father worked at a nurses home in Crawley. Back in the late 60s early 70s that is.

As a kid I secretly watched the Friday, late night horror double bill on BBC2 on a tiny black and white portable in my bedroom, with sound down low so parents wouldn't know, madly wiggling the aerial to get the best picture, lol! I couldn't see or hear the movies that well, but they still made my hair stand on end, lol!

No one knows where the time goes, unfortunately.

@@dadodydo I can't believe it...

Probably saw this in my early teens (In the very early 70's) & the werewolf section really scared the $h1t out of me.......Great atmosphere & twist in the (werewolf's) tale...he he!

For sure the best of all horror flicks try the film the asylum very good three or four short films very good

​@@gerrodmendham461absolutely the hand with the bullets I was about 10 surprised my parents let me stay up every Friday for the horror film haha

@Ken Corey our Grandchildren

Copy and paste from nearly every other video on You Tube????

@Ken Corey you toooooooooooooooooooooooooo

yip hard core .

Classic 🤞

Sir Christopher Lee was 93, he had a very good innings bless him. A wonderful British actor and a classic English gentleman in every sense. Much missed - never forgotten!

Bearing in mind other moments in the film, he could probably be a doctor of whatever he wanted!

Donald Sutherland's first movie appearance was in the 1965 nuclear war drama The Bedford Incident, with Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier and Eric Portman. Little more than a spit-and-cough part in that film. This movie was one of Sutherland's first significant feature roles.

Now its Donald Sutherland thats considered a legend and ranks right up there with Cushing and Lee........oh the irony of it all.....lol

one of the films Sutherland made he was offered a percentage of the profits or a flat fee......he took the flat fee and the film made hundreds of millions and would have netted him millions

Hammer horror double bill,Saturday nights what I lived for as a kid,I use to get so excited by the cover on radio times when it was coming,use to watch in a bedroom improve tent with my sister on a black and white tv,what a memory.

I also watched the double bills in the 70s, absolutely loved them. I must of been 7-9 years old. Every when we went to school we told to write and draw about what we did the weekend. The teacher looked through my book and it was always a picture and story of the Hammer film I’d watched. I can still remember the picture where I drew Christopher Lee being staked by Peter Cushing, my mum was called into school to be spoken to about my staying up so late! I can also remember when I was about 6 or 7 hiding behind a cushion while terrified, but I loved it, think it was Dracula Prince of Darkness. 🙂

I grew up on the BBC2 Horror Double Bill on Saturday nights. The most memorable was Quatermass Experiment followed by George Romero's The Crazies which disturbed me that much as a ten year old I still remember that feeling of terrified nausea even now.

Al M I remember watching the Crazies as a child, the scene with the old lady and the knitting needles always stuck with me, can’t remember the film that was shown with it as the double bill!

absolutely classic this film some fine actors love

The Dirty Dozen?

Yes, by way of India.

Which sounded Pakistani!

There are a lot of Indians in the West indies. After slavery was abolished the Africans slaves would not work, even though paid, and thousands of Indians were imported as indentured workers for the sugar plantations. The population of Trinidad is today one third Indian origin and one third African. So Roy's accent was quite accurate.

That's an insult to the Jamaicans

@Redblade lol im 54 yrs old ya i dont think Mom gives a rats ass lol

she in fact watched it with me the other day lol

yep and me frightened the life out of me

@@isaachunt5799 Anything with Cushing and Lee warms my heart. I'd watch those guys read an instruction manual. ❤

Thw stories were good , I think . I never tjought horror had to scare me just have a creep factor and be entertauning . I haven't seen much in a great while that I thought was fun to watch . Horror is mostly dark and depressing , nihillistic even these days .

Saturday night just wouldn't have been the same without Hammer Horror pictures.

@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 I agree with you 💯

They were set up as a rival to the Hammer Horror films. The Hammer Horror movies usually have an ending of good defeating evil.

ANd ROy Castle makes it a record breaker!

It's a very surprising cast - horror gods Cushing and Lee, plus American movie star Donald Sutherland, entertainer Roy Castle and Australian DJ legend Alan 'Fluff' Freeman (Not 'Arf!) That would be one hell of a fascinating train journey!

lol on my birthday

Great summary!

Throw in Cushing and Lee, Roy Castle and M from the Bond films, not to mention Michael Gough (Alfred from the Batman movies), Kenny Lynch and Daisy from Keeping Up Appearances! What a mad but brilliant cast lol

I only found out just before Christmas Kenny had passed away (2019).

@@goldenmiller8627 I think only Donald Sutherland is still alive in this movie

@@mojopin1997 Donald is still kicking!. He's 86 according to Wikipedia. Let's hope he stays around for a few more years before he gets his "fifth card".

Yes, similar plot.

@@maxinemckenzie6076 Thank you!

Yes, love the Amicus portmanteau style (short stories linked), from the late sixties-seventies. I think this one ('Dr Terror's House of Horrors') has a rather weak plot and script, the ones that came after in the early 'seventies were much improved IMO. My favourite of all time has to be 'From Beyond the Grave' 1974, which is sadly never found in full on KZfaq, because the copyright killjoys always take it down whenever someone uploads it. It has Peter Cushing playing against type as a flat capped northern antiques shop owner, and a fab cast including Diana Dors, Donald Pleasance, Lesley Anne Down, Ian Carmichael, David Warner , Ian Ogilvy and Nyree Dawn Porter. I recently found it uploaded in two parts on the Daily Motion website, if anyone wants to watch it for it for free. I think it has some genuinely spine tingling, scary moments, plus some humour to balance out the gore! My next fave is 'Tales from the Crypt' LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLWdicR8mNO0aJc.html (with Sir Ralph Richardson, Patrick Magee, Barbara Murray, Roy Dotrice, Ian Hendry and Joan Collins among the wonderful cast). The tale where a homicidal Santa strangles Joan, gets played in our house every Christmas Eve, it never fails to put me in the festive spirit, lol!) And 'Asylum', also from 1972, LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc2laZyplcnHeY0.html is another fab Amicus horror, written by 'Psycho' author Robert Bloch. Again it has a stellar British cast including Peter Cushing, Robert Powell, Geoffrey Bayldon, Charlotte Rampling, Herbert Lom and Britt Ekland. The script/story on that one is really clever I think, with a good twist in the tale, 'The House that Dripped Blood' (1971), LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbuKdMJ6p-DOY4k.html is great fun too, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are both in that one and Jon Pertwee does a great comic turn as a demented vampire! Oh, 'Vault of Horror' (1973), LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6xkra2mtbevn2w.html is excellent too - Anna Massey and her brother Daniel, Tom Baker, Sylvia Syms, Terry-Thomas, Glynis Johns and many more. I recently found the last Amicus-style British movie ever made, here in full on KZfaq. Made in 1981, 'The Monster Club' LINK: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ot94jbSJ2ZvRp5s.html isn't strictly speaking an Amicus film, but it was the final movie of producer Milton Subotsky, who was best known for his work with Amicus, and it featured many of the same crew. 'The Monster Club' stars the great Vincent Price, with fellow horror elder statesman John Carradine. Vincent's presence is really what saves it from being a so-so horror. It has a strong, predominantly British cast again, with a few cross overs from the early 'seventies anthologies (Patrick Magee, Donald Pleasance, Britt Ekland and Geoffrey Bayldon). Though 'The Monster Club' isn't as spooky or cleverly written as those earlier films it has a few great moments, and a lighter, more tongue in cheek feel - especially in Vincent Price's linking sequences in the 'The Monster Club' - a nightclub/cabaret/disco. In fact it's worth watching for it's very final scenes, when we get to see the king of horror Vincent (now a sprightly 70 years old), boogying away with a rotund and enthusiastic lady! My God that man had style, he never lost it!

And on the wall of his flat, among the photos above the tape recorder...isn't that Peter Cushing?

Brilliant observation! Makes it even better!❤️

Roll with the times.

The Hammer Horror Movie Kings. Couldn't get any better ... Except maybe Vincent Price . Michael Gough did good in this movie too. Can't believe how young he looked.

@@warewolfchrisscevert7365 you are so right Vincent price and Michael Gough 2 more king of horror

@@johncolemaniii3716 I LOVE that actor. Always without knowing his name. I never see him as Alfred, I see him in too many other places, including smoldering, fascinating love interest. I'm sure it was him in an episode of THRILLER or a similar old TV series, the tragic story of a sea captain and his bride going to sea together to keep from having to part as other such couples do, a supernatural short story by somebody famous and great whom I also can't recall (a schoolmaster who wrote); my head hard drive is too full and cleans itself while I sleep I think. Anyway, he was a handsome sea captain and tragic lover in that, and great in everything. Looked so perfect taking her in his strong young arms on the derelict ship and saying, "Let's just go to bed."

@@Carly8Corday look at house on haunted hill and house of wax with Vincent Price 2 of his best

Trouble here is that I was referring to Michael Gough and had him entirely confused with Scottish actor James Donald. I still wouldn't realize it if my PICTURES prog hadn't opened a little while ago and there sat James Donald among my kids and other family, looking just about a world too handsome to have been the man in this. But I still find Michael Gough handsome too. He just doesn't play it handsome. He damn well could.

Not Price or Young, but Peter Cushing and Alan Freeman.

Thing was always polite! Lol

POP pickers nightmare, Lol. One of the original D.J.s!

Check out From Beyond the Grave (1973) and Tales From the Crypt (1972) Peter Cushing is incredible in both.

My first sight of him, and of John Casavettes, was THE DIRTY DOZEN (1967). I never stopped wanting to see more of those 2 guys. Donald Sutherland as a young dangerous criminal supposed halfwit on military death row, doing his inspection of troops as a "general": if you never saw, you gotta see. And Casavettes as the inadvertently sexy killer hoody hardheaded irredeemable heartbreaker, Franco. * SIGH * All those days are gone.

@@Carly8Corday yep

He was great in Kellys HEROs

I truly knew this father of Keifer anywhere during this moment of film studios.

The same year of this film in 1965 ,Donald also is in die die my darling.

I got to answer a question on one of his Record Breakers roadshows back in the late 70s, he made a joke of my accent in a really nice way.

Yes,Horror Express is a good film.Quite gory for the time,and Cushing and Lee get some good lines,playing rivals.

One of my favorites love horror in general especially the old school movies

That was a "real" movie lol this was a parody...but love Lee and Cushing

and max Rosenberg too.
