Dr Terror's House of Horrors

Vampires, werewolves, crawling hands, voodoo curses and creeping vines - they're all present and enjoyably correct in the first, and best, fun fright anthology from the Amicus horror factory, Hammer's only real 1960s rival. Peter Cushing is the tarot card reader telling five men on a train (including Christopher Lee, Donald Sutherland and Roy Castle) their grim fortunes. Veteran horror director Freddie Francis delivers a fair quota of entertaining shocks with his trademark visual flair, and it's always a joy to see DJ turned rather wooden actor Alan Freeman at the mercy of that peculiar writhing plant.
