Three of the episodes are rough-and-ready but vigorous Grand Guignol fun.

Scotland's Yard's search for a missing film star leads them to a haunted house, which serves as the framework for this sharp British anthology of four horror tales starring icons Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Ingrid Pitt. In the four stories, a writer's murderous creation comes to life, a wax figure causes a fatal argument between two men, a young girl develops an intense and unhealthy interest in witchcraft, and a film actor finds a cape that helps him get a little too immersed in his role as a vampire.

Reviews for The House That Dripped Blood
One of the best of the Amicus portmanteau films, this relies on Robert Bloch's superior scripting abilities to fashion a chilling atmosphere of terror that has dated extremely well.
The latter two stories, though necessarily too short and too schematic, generate some interest, and humor, and even a bit of characterization.
