ronald chetwynd hayes be a very underrated author . his horror story often feature a twist end mixed in with lot of black humour . i read his tale of fear and fantasy short story collection a a sixteen year old and can fondly remember the story feature . hardcore horror fan who enjoy gore will probably consider his story quaint but a an entertaining read i recommend him . unfortunately i find it difficult to recommend the monster club to anyone john carradine play the author who go to a club only to find it populate by monster and meet a vampire call eramus who describe different type of bloodline of monster and relates three short story . there two serious problem with the film 1 ) director roy ward baker doesn not know whether to make the film serious or amusing and decide on embarrass camp 2 ) the story themselves be pretty dire . baker can defend himself in that he doesn not have much of a budget and much of the make up be dire and especially the werewolf in the nhs glass . that say however it the way the werewolf be play that leave a lot to be desire . baker however do pull out a chill sequence do via drawing where a vicar relate how he find a ghoul in a graveyard . the sequence be very well do but seem completely at odds with the rest of the film which be a badly judge jokey and camp affair . and the revelation that the human race be the bad type of monster isn not a revelation at all .
