The Amicus portmanteau death poll.
by The Call of the Wendigo Mon Apr 08, 2024 10:15 pm
Amicus, they made the horror films that Hammer wouldn't dare to. The ones with dodgy characters having their fortunes told by a mysterious stranger before, shockingly, discovering they've been dead all along.
Now I've curated every tale from every Amicus portmanteau movie, in order that we can vote on which tale of terror from them is our favourite. Given how important this poll is, multiple-choice voting is allowed.
For those who may have trouble remembering, these are the movies those tales are featured in:
Dr Terror's House of Horrors.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Terror%27s_House_of_Horrors
Torture Garden.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_Garden_(film)
The House That Dripped Blood.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_That_Dripped_Blood
Tales From the Crypt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_the_Crypt_(film)
Asylum.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asylum_(1972_horror_film)
The Vault of Horror.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vault_of_Horror_(film)
From Beyond the Grave.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Beyond_the_Grave

Joan Collins being killed by Santa, and Tom Baker killing people with his Voodoo paintings are my utmost favourites.

I went for 3, I think 2 were from the same film, but heck they all sorta merge into one after a while.
Just Like James Bond films.

This is the lengthiest poll ever launched on this forum.

Peter Cushing finds a local waxwork that looks like his dead wife!
I wonder if that inspired the premise of Carry On Screaming?

Carry On Screaming came out five years before The House That Dripped Blood.

You missed out Peter Cushing returning from the grave and exacting revenge on his nasty neighbours.

Also, I think that this thread should be an Amicus, Milton Subotsky and World Film Services thread.
That was the awesomely brilliant Tales that Witness Madness (1973), The Uncanny (1977) and The Monster Club (1981) can be included.

I shall launch a separate thread for them. So that I don't have to delete the current voting in the poll.

I have that listed as, "Peter Cushing is nice to kids and animals but is hounded into suicide by his neighbours!"Nightjar wrote:You missed out Peter Cushing returning from the grave and exacting revenge on his nasty neighbours.

I'm still too overhwelmed by the options.
I need to devote some serious time to my decisions.
