Dr Terror's House of Horrors, and Tales From the Crypt, are pretty decent anthologies of their time.

Dr Terror's House of Horrors, and Tales From the Crypt, are pretty decent anthologies of their time. Might check out his anthology ‘Tales that Witness Madness’ on YouTube tonight. Enjoyed all three of his thus far.

Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly (1970) Never heard of it! Tales From the Crypt (1972) 7.5/10 8.5/10 Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968) Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) The Doctor and the Devils (1985) (been a while since I have seen it--does stick in the memory more than other versions for me) I will 7/10 since I can't remember what I thought of it and I don't want to overrate it 7/10 The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) Torture Garden (1967) 6/10 Nightmare (1964) ditto 5.5/10 The Ghoul (1975) The Vampire Happening (1971) (never heard of it!) Craze (1974) Chuko demands I give it a 7/10 Dark Tower (1987) (not seen it) Trog (1970) not seen it
I would say Dr. Terror and maybe Dracula Has Risen From the Grave would be good choices for him

Girly & the vampire happening are horror-comedies really leaning into the latter. Girly is droll dark humour, while Happening favours the unhinged silliness. He has directed quite a few interesting looking titles that I haven’t seen. Especially more with Peter Cushing than I expected. The Skull, Legend of the Werewolf & The Creeping Flesh. Oliver Reed starring Paranoiac! Ringo Starrs produced/co-starring Son of Dracula. And The Psychopath, The Deadly Bees, Hysteria and The Brain to round it off.

Stupid me I have seen all those except the Brain
The Skull 8.5/10
Legend of the Werewolf 6.5/10 Could have been better if they didn't copy the Oliver Reed makeup
The Creeping Flesh 7.5/10
Oliver Reed starring Paranoiac! 7.5/10
Ringo Starrs produced/co-starring Son of Dracula. (Not seen I think)
The Psychopath 7/10 (PIN A Plastic Nightmare owes something to this film)
The Deadly Bees 6/10
Hysteria 6/10
The Brain (not seen)
I suppose I should consider adding the Skull as another one for his list. Either that, Dr. Terror or Dracula
