| 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. _________________ I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird strange, sick, twisted, eerie, Godless, evil stuff…
And I want in |

- Peter Cushing finds a local waxwork that looks like his dead wife!
I wonder if that inspired the premise of Carry On Screaming? _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| 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. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| 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!" _________________ |
