MCT:September 9, 2008From Ealing Studios, a portmanteau film in which various people discuss their encounters with the supernatural. Ptobably the first of its kind, and very dark and gripping -- with a gibbering nightmare of a finale.

Precursor to later episodic horror (i.e. TV's Night Gallery and The Twilight Zone). Five houseguests recount their nightmares to each other with each one a little more sinister than the last. A spine-tingling horror classic that scared me as a child and still today creeps me out.

MCT:June 30, 2008Scares that hold up today. Some of the stories have been ripped up countless times, especially the Ventriloquist story towards the end.

i really enjoyed the surreal ending. the comedy segment was fun but brought down the overall suspense alot. excellent performances and michael redgrave was outstanding in the famous ventriloquist's dummy segment

Considering it's reputation it was slightly dissapointing, but then again most anthology films are. One story is never strong enough in comparisons to the others. I think I prefer Night of the Demon or the Haunting for my classic UK horror fix.
Pretty good I guess overall. Some of the stories are a bit too twiglight zoney for me, like the first, the second's kind of a more poor turn of the screw type story. The third mirror story is more interesting even if it sort of rushes towards the end. I think I enjoyed Chaulders and Caldicott from The Lady Vanishes more then others as one becomes a ghost to bother the other about a lost game of golf. The last is the most popular of the stories about a case of double personality between a dummy and a ventriloquist. Followed by a conclusion that's the most fun (even if it ends on a "just okay" kind of note).
A lot of the stories in this omnibus have been told better, but considering how poor most horror anthologies are in the first place, this is maybe a pinch below Kwaidan, but a speckle above Waxworks. And better then the roger corman ones. -

The daddy of all horror anthology movies with a superb cast. More than 60 years on this film can still send a few shivers down your spine.

Spooky anthology film about a man's trip to a country house for a party and the stories he hears while he's there. One of the best (of many lesser) stories about a mad ventriloquist.

The Park Library in the Haight Ashbury showed this for free every Halloween for 20 or 30 years. A real class British classic!

This movie scared the bejeezus out of me when I was just a kid. It's very old and pretty tame by today's standards, but the final tale in this movie concerns a ventriloquists dummy that comes to life and goes on a murder spree. I had nightmares about that damn doll for years. Even now, seeing the dummy come to life sends shivers down my spine.
