The House That Dripped Blood (1971)
Member Rating:  
This anthology picture about a bad-luck mansion is a thriller with four episodes--all framed by a police investigation. A review of the files of the local policeman (John Bennett) shows that everyone who has owned the mansion has died in a horrible fashion. In the first episode, "Method for Murder," the obsessions of a mystery writer (Denholm Elliott) provide his wife with an opportunity to do him in. In the second, "Waxworks," Peter Cushing is the unhappy recipient of the attentions of a jealous husband. The third, "Sweets to the Sweet," has Christopher Lee fall victim to his charming little daughter, who plays with voodoo dolls. In "The Cloak," Jon Pertwee (best known for his TV portrayal of Dr. Who) is a horror-film star who insists on authenticity in his costumes. Somehow, he is given the cloak of a real vampire, with humorously ghoulish results. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

A fun movie to watch for the assortment of stories bases around the house. Campy, corny but still fun to watch. Susan L.

Decent old school horror anthology in the Tales from the Crypt style. Ingrid Pitt is super hot as always.

Chris Lee , Peter Cushing ,John Pertwee ,creepy old house ,70's horror anthology. What's more to be said. I grew up with this stuff as well as the ABC movie of the week which often had a creep/horror slant. If you have an interest in the above then rent this for sure.
