this be a very amusing and sometimes quite creepy anthology and that if a bit short in the screenwriting department and more than make up for the shortcoming in the acting and location work and overall exuberance . the best episode of this be the first with denholm elliot play a horror writer stalk by a character from his novel in the work ( a perfect example of the act pulling this out of the merely pedestrian ) while the third and with christopher lee a a man terrify of his own daughter and the final episode with the late great jon pertwee a a pompous horror film star who get more than just a new role on his late project . the dialogue between pertwee and ingrid pitt be sparkle and inspire and both obviously relish the opportunity to really ham it up . cushing be typically good in the weak segment and which certainly isn not help by the fact that the wax figure of the woman he obsess with down at the local wax museum and be anything but beautiful a we be tell to believe she be . someone of shock beauty be need and instead be give a woman with a jaw of a turtle . minor quibble aside this movie and it wonderful country house set be one to catch when you can .
