an excellent movie and great example of how scary a movie can be without really show the viewer anything . it a set of four story all revolve around the tenant of a charmingly old fashion house and their various gruesome and horrific fate and all tie together by a wrap around story about a scotland yard inspector search for a missing horror film star . it start out with a story about a mystery writer whose main character become a little too realistic and follow by a story about two old romantic rival who become obsess over a wax figure in a museum and then a story about a sweetly angelic little child who be anything but and and closing with the story of what happen to the miss film star and what he do to the inspector . it a gorgeous print that let you really appreciate the work of director duffell and what he be able to accomplish with a very small budget . add to that the act talent of peter cushing and christopher lee and denholm elliott and joss ackland and ingrid pitt and jon pertwee and you have get a movie that can be enjoy again and again . just do not answer the phone if anyone from stoker real estate call to offer you a bargain on a beautiful house in the english countryside .
