''Dr. Terror's House of Horrors'' (1965)

By Crusader1307

Amicus Films first Horror Film and Genre change from conventional Films, 1965s ‘’Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors’’ was the first of many such Anthology (connected Stories) of The Studios. Consisting of (5) ‘’Tales’’ with a well known Cast (to include Peter Cushing – Title Role and Christopher Lee in a segment) – was well received. The Plot deals with five men who board a Train. Sitting in a Common Car, in enters a rather darkly dressed Man named ‘’Dr. Schreck’’. He is a professional Fortune Teller who uses Tarot Cards in His ‘’craft’’. Ridiculed by some, all agree to having Their fortunes read as a way to ‘’kill time’’. The Doctor tells each His ‘’Destiny’’ (which is the background for each of the impending Tales). From Werewolves to Vampires, from Man-Eating Plants to a Voodoo Curse to of course – re-animated body parts, each Story ends with Our Riders death! When asked ‘’How’’ to survive, The Doctor simply states that They must all die. At this point, The Riders pass another train wrecked on The tracks – will all of them already deceased! Dr. Schreck is ‘’revealed’’ to none other than DEATH Himself. A fairly good early Horror Anthology Film, worth a look!
