Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965)

Regal Films (UK)
Directed by Freddie Francis
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

The first of several horror anthologies from Amicus Productions. A group of strangers on a train each have their tarot cards read by Peter Cushing. Their futures are familiar horror territory: a werewolf, a vampire, a disembodied hand, a creeping vine and voodoo. The stories are brief but handsomely mounted, like reading an old familiar comic book. The wraparound story saves the best twist for last.
