Quote:
While on a dig in Egypt, British archaeologist John Banning (Peter Cushing) desecrates the tomb of Princess Ananka, awakening her mummified lover (Christopher Lee). With revenge on his mind, the mummy follows Banning and the rest of his group back to England, but becomes quite taken with Banning’s wife (Yvonne Furneaux), who resembles the princess quite closely.

The post Gordon Flemyng – Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Five strangers board a train and are joined by a mysterious fortune teller who offers to read their Tarot cards. Five separate stories unfold: An architect returns to his ancestral home to find a werewolf out for revenge; a doctor suspects his new wife is a vampire; an intelligent vine takes over a house; a jazz musician plagiarizes music from a voodoo ceremony; a pompous art critic is pursued by a disembodied hand.

Quote:
Peter Cushing stars in Dr Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) as a mysterious fortune teller called Dr Terror who reads the tarot cards to tell the future of five fellow passengers aboard a British train. Unfortunately, they are all about to be victims of supernatural death in director Freddie Francis’s enjoyable, slickly handled, and very popular 1965 British chiller revival of the old horror compendium form of separate stories with a linking device.

Cushing brings dignity and depth to his down-at-heel Dr Schreck (Dr Death) type character, Christopher Lee gives a gleeful account of Franklyn Marsh, an opinionated art critic hounded by an artist’s amputated hand in segment 4 Disembodied Hand, and a youngish Donald Sutherland (already 30 in 1965) has campy fun as vampire Jennifer Jayne’s husband Dr Bob Carroll in segment 5 Vampire.

Dr Terror’s House of Horrors is a considerable success that is marred only by one single weak story – the voodoo item, segment 3 Voodoo, with Roy Castle as Biff Bailey, a jazz musician suffering a curse after copying voodoo tunes. The good script is by Amicus Productions producers Milton Subotsky and Max J Rosenberg, spearheading the era of the Amicus portmanteau movie.

The downside is that it was made very cheaply, for around £105,000, so its productions values are low, the special effects (by Ted Samuels) are negligible, and the art direction (by Bill Constable) is modest. And time has not necessarily been very kind to the movie, exposing some deficiencies in the acting (with some of the actors going the ripe over-acting route) and in the film editing (Thelma Connell).

Also in the cast are Ursula Howells, Peter Madden, Katy Wild and Neil McCallum as Jim Dawson in segment 1 Werewolf.

Also in the cast are disc jockey Alan Freeman as Bill Rogers, Ann Bell as Ann Rogers, Phoebe Nicholls as Carol Rogers, Bernard Lee as Hopkins and Jeremy Kemp in segment 2 Creeping Vine.

Also in the cast are Kenny Lynch, Christopher Carlos, Harold Lang and The Tubby Hayes Quintet in segment 3 Voodoo. Tubby Hayes is the composer of the jazz music and Kenny Lynch is the composer of the songs, with Philip Martell as the conductor and composer of additional music.

Also in the cast are Michael Gough as Eric Landor, Isla Blair, Pauline Chamberlain, Judy Cornwell and Frank Forsyth in segment 4 Disembodied Hand.

Also in the cast are Max Adrian as Dr Blake, Laurie Leigh, Al Mulock and Irene Richmond in segment 5 Vampire.

Dr Terror’s House of Horrors is directed by Freddie Francis, runs 98 minutes, is made by Amicus Productions, is released by Regal Films International (1965) (UK) and Paramount Pictures (1965) (US), is written by Milton Subotsky and Max J Rosenberg, is shot by Alan Hume, is produced by Joe Vegoda (executive producer), Milton Subotsky and Max J Rosenberg, is scored by Elisabeth Lutyens and is designed by Bill Constable.

It scored strongly at the box office, spawning many others from Amicus and Francis like Tales from the Crypt (1972), The Vault of Horror (1973), Tales That Witness Madness (1973), and From Beyond the Grave (1974). Francis’s 1967 Torture Garden, The House That Dripped Blood (1971) and Asylum (1972) are the three Amicus portmanteau films written by Robert Bloch and based on his own stories.

Castle and Cushing reunited for Dr Who and the Daleks and Legend of the Werewolf.

Quote:
The Brides of Dracula is a 1960 British horror film made by Hammer Film Productions. Directed by Terence Fisher, the film stars Peter Cushing, David Peel, Freda Jackson, Yvonne Monlaur, Andrée Melly, and Martita Hunt.

The film is a sequel to Hammer’s original Dracula (US: Horror of Dracula) (1958), though the vampires possess abilities denied to vampires in the previous film, much like those in the original novel. Alternative working titles were Dracula 2 and Disciple Of Dracula. Dracula does not appear in the film (Christopher Lee would reprise his role in the 1966 film Dracula: Prince of Darkness) and is mentioned only twice, once in the prologue, once by Van Helsing.

Shooting began for The Brides of Dracula on 16 January 1960 at Bray Studios. It premièred at the Odeon, Marble Arch on 6 July 1960. The film was distributed theatrically in 1960 on a double bill with The Leech Woman.

Plot: A gloomy wood is seen as a voice is heard, narrating:
Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black unfathomable lakes. Still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to its close. Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires, is dead. But his disciples live on to spread the cult and corrupt the world…

Marianne Danielle, a young French schoolteacher en route to take up a position in Transylvania, is abandoned at a village inn by her coach driver. Ignoring the warnings of the locals, she accepts the offer of Baroness Meinster to spend the night at her castle. There, she sees the Baroness’s handsome son, who is said to be insane and kept confined. When she sneaks into his quarters to meet him, she is shocked to find him chained by his leg to the wall, and when he tells her that his mother has usurped his rightful lands and pleads for her help, she agrees to steal the key to his chain from the Baroness’ bedroom.

Discovering this, the Baroness is horrified; yet when her son appears, she obeys him and accompanies him back to his room. Later, Marianne discovers the Baroness’ servant Greta, who has also taken care of the Baron since he was a baby, in hysterics: She shows Marianne the Baroness’ corpse, and the puncture marks in her throat. Marianne flees into the night upon seeing this, while Greta chastises the Baroness for raising her son on cruelty and cavorting with bad company in the past, which lead to one such being (Dracula) turning him into a vampire and the Baroness having to chain him in his room and feeding him any girls that she lured to the castle. Despite knowing the evil he intends to the village, Greta remains loyal to the Baron.
