It isn’t but that sounds intriguing. Another compilation (from the 30s I think) ‘Dead of night’ has the haunted mirror story, where when the main character looks in an antique mirror he sees a different room to his own in the background.Quote:

Just thought on, is Joan Collins one of the story tellers?Quote:

I've done a bit of research into the Amacus horror anthologies, and found the following:Quote:

'Tales From the Crypt' (1972)
(This is the one containing the story of the widow who is granted three wishes to bring her husband back to life, but the embalming fluid in his veins causes too much pain so she has to chop up the body with a cleaver, but the body parts keep writhing about.)
'The House that Dripped Blood' (1970)
I think I have seen them all at one time or another.
I saw the TV serial in the '90s when it was broadcast (I think it was on C4) - and yes it was very good.Quote:

The Time Tunnel - episode 4
Incorrectly listed as 'Time Tunnel' on the tv guide. :rolleyes: This week they're in Pearl Harbour.
Proper telly this.
As a child I was particularly fascinated by the way they 'land' at the start of each episode. It's really very odd.
Forces TV Martin?Quote:

dr terror's house of horrors 1965 stars Christopher lee and Peter Cushing

has an early outing from Donald Sutherland too
Not sure, I think it might be on Horror channel.Quote:

Caught the tail end of one, it was on the horror channel. Archie Bunker was in it.Quote:

Nineteen Eighty-Four. 1984.. stars John Hurt and Richard Burton. written and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell's novel of the same name.
It was intended to be filmed in B&W but backers Virgin said no, so Roger Deakins used a film processing technique called bleach bypass to give a washed out feel.

Oh, Burton insisted on his boilersuit being tailored in Savile row:D
"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."
Carry on Jack 1964. Juliet Mills and Bernard Cribbins join the cast usual.
Juliet was rather tidy when younghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...753372ec04.jpg
Is that Alan ('Fluff') Freeman? I've seen the film, but I don't remember which story he appeared in.Quote:
