The main actor in it is a dead ringer for Ben Miller. Even down to his acting style and mannerisms.

I shall Google to find out who he is.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 06, 2023 10:13 pm

Apparently, he was called Eric Porter.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 06, 2023 10:13 pm

He was in lots of famous films.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 06, 2023 10:14 pm

Many of which, I have seen.

He was even in Hammer's The Lost Continent. gasp

Lynda Baron is in this film. gasp

Isn't that basically Great Expectations meets Wuthering Heights but with flowers?

At least, that's how I remember it from them forcing us to read it at school.

I always mix it up with the HG Wells short story The Door In The Wall.

Now to see what's on the telly tonight.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 07, 2023 4:00 pm

Wimbledon is on the usual channels.

The Abominable Snowman is on Legend.

Starring Peter Cushing.

But not as the Abominable Snowman. Colbert

Theatre of Blood is on TalkingPicturesTV, at 9:05.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jul 07, 2023 4:03 pm

That is followed by Scream and Scream Again.

A double bill? Excited

I always get Scream and Scream Again and Now the Screaming Starts mixed up.

Scream and Scream Again is the good one isn't it?

The one where someone (Lee or Cushing?) is trying to create superhuman, who then goes off on a murderous rampage?

Doesn't it also have The Pretty Things playing at disco or something?

So do I.

Amen Corner.

That film's the only reason I've ever heard of them.

That is a very odd film that raised more questions than it answered.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 08, 2023 9:25 am

It is strange isn't it.

Quite different from the usual 'Hamicus' type films.

Surreal might be a word for it.

I always remember the bit where the bloke rips his own hand off leaving it still attached to the bumper of a car.

by Nightjar Sat Jul 08, 2023 9:28 am

Ohh, it's an actual Amicus fillum.

And it's got Vincent Price in it, not Christopher Lee.

See also the Amicus film Madhouse.

That's a rum'n too.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 08, 2023 9:32 am

Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are all in it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 08, 2023 9:32 am

As is Peter Sallis.
