Synopsis
During the 60s and 70s, Britain’s Amicus Studios were one of the world’s leading producers of low-budget horror movies. Rivaling Hammer Films in popularity, their productions boasted spine chilling, toe-curling adventures, lurid titles, stylish direction and stellar casts.
City of the Dead:
Horror legend Christopher Lee stars in this atmospheric and genuinely scary classic of British horror. A seemingly benevolent Professor sends an eager young co-ed with a taste for the occult to Massachussetts to research local legends of witchcraft. Once there she quickly discovers that she is about to become the town's annual sacrifice!
Dr. Terrors House of Horrors:
In this stylish fright flick, Peter Cushing stars as the mysterious Dr. Schreck who refers to his ominous tarot deck as his "House of Horrors". Five chilling stories unfold featuring vengeful werewolfs, voodoo curses, female vampires and severed hands.
The House That Dripped Blood:
VAMPIRES! VOODOO! VIXENS! VICTIMS! From Robert Bloch, the author of "PSYCHO" comes this entertainingly creepy shocker featuring four terror tales connected to a ghostly old cottage. Starring horror icons Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Ingrid Pitt alongside "Dr. Who" star, Jon Pertwee, this 70s horror classic will have you securely bolting the door and keeping the bedside light on!
Asylum:
Horror legend Peter Cushing and spunky Euro-beauties Britt Ekland and Charlotte Rampling star in four chilling tales to drive you INSANE! Boasting a top-notch cast ASYLUM is "a trim little chiller with a moderate quota of blood and mayhem, polished performances and smooth direction" (VARIETY).
And Now The Screaming Starts!
Bolt your doors, secure your windows and turn down the lights…. It's time to scream! A beautiful young virginal bride is raped on her wedding night by an eyeless, one-armed ghost! A stellar cast (including Peter Cushing, Stephanie Beacham and Ian Ogilvy) breathtaking period settings and chilling special effects highlight this stylish gothic shocker.
The Beast Must Die:
A wealthy sportsman invites six guests to his isolated country estate for the weekend to be part of a deadly game he has devised. Once they have arrived, he announces that ONE OF THE GUESTS WILL TURN INTO A WEREWOLF. Can you guess who it is when we stop the film for the "Werewolf Break"? SEE IT… SOLVE IT… BUT DON'T TELL!
