I saw Dr. Terror's House of Horrors on the big screen when it first hit theaters in the U.S. I was nine. It scared me. I avoided shrubs and bushes for a long time after that.

George Zucco is especially delightful in this grim tale of evil doings. The Mad Ghoul was part of the Shock! package of movies released to television in 1957. Jack Pierce did the makeup.

The City of the Dead (although I prefer the more sensational U.S. title, Horror Hotel) was a staple for horror television back in the black and white days. Milton Subotsky rewrote the script and produced it, so this pretty much makes it the first Amicus production. And a good one it is, too. The poster art is killer.

How can you go wrong with an Italian horror starring Barbara Steele and a German one with Klaus Kinski? A solid double bill of terror.

Funny how you can take a lively television animated series and make it a dull and lifeless-actioner for the big screen. Costuming was especially lazy, and would it have hurt to inject some humor–any humor–into this misfire?

I found out about this movie after reading Night Gallery: An After Hours Tour (which I highly recommend). Dark Intruder was the pilot for a potential series for television called The Black Cloak, produced by Jack Laird. Dailymotion is currently offering a slightly blurry copy for view, and it's well worth the time spent.
Here's the pressbook to whet your appetite. Bon appetite.

Snake Plissken didn't let a wall stop him. I saw Escape from New York in a theater in 1981. And not a multiplex theater either, but just one big screen. That's how a movie like this should be seen. Popcorn optional.

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee should have both appeared in this movie, but the American studio backing it wanted American names. A pity, as Jack Palance is out of place here. His performance is oddly delivered (but energetic). This Amicus portmanteau entry is still a lot of creepy with Burgess Meredith stealing the spotlight. The Fright Seeds gimmick is priceless.

A poverty row potboiler from Republic Pictures. Leonard Maltin gave it 1 and a half stars. Still, on my to see list. The poster art is excellent.
