Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965), The House that Dripped Blood (1971) and Tales from the Crypt (1972)
Amicus Productions was most known for their anthology films, even though that was a small percentage of the types of films they did make in over the years. But because of the quality of the films, the power of the stories they were based on, and the incredible cast of actors they would hire, they always made an impact on fans. In this episode, not only do we cover three of our favorite Amicus’ anthology titles, but we’re joined by producer/director Lawrie Brewster, the man behind the resurrection of Amicus Productions, that is currently working on a new anthology film to be released under the Amicus name!
Films Mentioned in this Episode:
And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973), Asylum (1972), The Black Gloves (2017), Candyman (1992), Castle of the Living Dead (1964), City of the Dead (1960), Creepshow (1982), Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Doctor Jekyll (2023), Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1945), Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965), Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1965), From Beyond the Grave (1974), The House that Dripped Blood (1971), In the Grip of Terror (2024), Jamboree (1957), Lord of Tears (2013), Rock Around the Clock (1956), Rock!

Well, it didn’t take you long to follow through on your promise of more British horror! Fantastic episode–so packed with interesting anecdotes and genuine scholarship that I will probably have to listen to it again. And you even managed to get through the whole thing without mentioning “Tales That Witness Madness” 😉
I love the Amicus movies, but I had no idea that a new one was in production. I liked what the director was saying at the start of the episode about playing it straight rather than trying to be kitsch or ironic. Hope it turns out well!
