the house that drip blood be one of the good anthology film of the time period . spoilerstracking down a missing film star and inspector holloway and ( john bennett ) find that the last report sighting be in a large mansion in the countryside . during the course of look through the house and he be told four different story about past resident of the house . the good story ( s ) represent method for murder move into the mysterious manor to get some peace and quiet while charles pen his late masterwork and horror novelist charles hillyer and ( denholm elliott ) and his wife alice and ( joanna dunham ) be thrill with the story and which center around a serial strangler name dominic . after a series of strange accident and experience in the house and charles begin to believe that the creation my have come to life and be haunt him and his wife . probably one of the good entry in the film and it easily the creepy . the atmosphere here be what set it apart . the scene with the fictional character be genuinely creepy and the mystery surround him be really effective and there always a classic creep out moment . the classic moment be the kill in the psychiatrist office and which be an all time high for creepiness . the build up to it and with the creak sound and quick flash of a mysterious be and and the thunder and lightning in the back ground work well for this one favor . sweet for the sweet move into a new house and widower john reid and ( christopher lee ) hire former school teacher ann norton and ( nyree dawn porter ) for his young daughter jane and ( chloe frank ) while he away on business . ann gradually begin to unravel a dark secret from jane past and which john vehemently denies . when she learn the true nature of what have happen and it far more shocking that what she could have think possible . with the creepy outright plot and the big twist of the story and this be a quite pleasant entry . the mystery of the family be wonderfully play out and with small amount of clue pile up here and there and and the final revelation be downright nerve wracking . that part alone be the main reason why this one work and and lee doesn not harm it either . the bad story ( s ) represent waxwork torture by memory of his lose love and phillip grayson and ( peter cushing ) and his friend neville rogers and ( joss ackland ) both become infatuate with a statue of a woman in a wax museum and a the statue take over their life and they discover a shocking secret about the museum that haunt the both of them . there a clever premise here and and it do provide an excuse to spend time in a wax museum and which be always creepy . this be no exception and and it look eerie and which be help by the florescent light on display on the sculpture . a dream sequence provide a great moment of suspense and but what ultimately kill this one be the slow pace . it take a long time for event to unfold out and and most of the time be spend on exposition . it also build up to a shock end that can be see come from a mile away . those really low this one a bit . have the twist be change and it would have score high and the rest be acceptable . the cloak veteran horror film actor paul henderson and ( jon pertwee ) upset at the lack of realism on the set of his new film and go off and buy a new vampire cloak from a specialty store . the cloak soon turn him into a vampire and go crazy on the set with co star carla and ( ingrid pitt ) and other vampiric act at home . unconvinced the cloak be the cause and he do everything he can to prove it just in his imagination . this have a pretty decent premise and and there be plenty of opportunity for some decent scare and but what sink it be several factor . first and it just too goofy for it own good . the plot twist at the end be a perfect example and which be so overdone that it not really a shock at all and and just come across a just plain silly . there so few scene of scare or attempt scare that it just a bore to sit through . it the weak one in the film . the final verdict represent a quite decent omnibus film and there a few small problem scatter through each of the story that render this a less than perfect but still highly watchable film . highly recommended for those into the similar film at the time or who enjoy british horror film . today rating pg 13 represent violence .
