Tom Milne Time Out Three of the episodes are rough-and-ready but vigorous Grand Guignol fun. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Roger Greenspun New York Times The latter two stories, though necessarily too short and too schematic, generate some interest, and humor, and even a bit of characterization. Rated: 2.5/5 May 9, 2005 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Robert Bloch, the author of Psycho, uses the framework of a haunted house to connect four stories involving (as the original tagline blared) "Vampires! Voodoo! Vixens! Victims!" Rated: 3/4 Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Tom Beasley VultureHound The peak of 1970s horror flamboyance, dripping in camp and executing Bloch's narrative flourishes with the sort of ludicrous excess that characterises the best of Amicus. Rated: 4/5 Aug 16, 2020 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A fun and frightening omnibus. Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Brian Collins Birth.Movies.Death. What I liked most about this last segment is how it directly tied into the wraparounds, as opposed to being "just another story". May 17, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Welll A Música atmosférica, segmentos irregulares como em toda antologia. A dublagem clássica da versão que assisti no YouTube foi um dos maiores atrativos. A primeira história, "Assassinato por escrito", é bem creepy e a conclusão surpreendeu; "Museu de cera" conta com a presença ilustre de Peter Cushing, contudo foi o que menos agradou. Previsível, lenta e desinteressante; "Doces para um doce", com Christopher Lee, é o melhor episódio, com um mistério macabro e desfecho idem; O último causo, "O Manto", no qual um ator-estrela é transformado em vampiro ao usar uma capa mágica, parece ter sido pensado para satirizar o papel icônico de Lee, mas como o astro escolheu a outra história mais bem escrita, o papel do ficou nas mãos de Jon Pertwee. O tom de chanchada parece de uma produção nacional daquela década, mas o argumento é muito básico, não curti. Gostei de ter visto, mas não mudou em nada minha vida. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review Chris H This is OK if you know what to expect. Think Hammer Horror, with a few of the usual actors. Four stories, the third, at least, with a real chill to it and the others the sort of campy stuff common to the genre. Written by famous horror/crime author Robert Bloch, which is very apt. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Rosana B É um filme de terror antológico britânico de 1971, quatro contos maravilhosamente relatados e sombrios sobre a casa que pingava sangue (infelizmente não na sua literalidade), o filme inicialmente seria um terror cômico, o produtor furioso, exigiu que fosse apenas terror, muitas cenas já filmadas foram cortadas, talvez isso deva ter prejudicado um pouco o filme, o que não o faz perder o brilho do suspense, e a criatividade e execução das cenas deliciosa sombrias e geladas… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review matthew d Wasn't too bad, great tales from the darkside/Friday the 13th feel Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 4 short stories that'll leave you wanting more!! My favorite is sweets to the sweet. Tim Treakle Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Blobbo X Four scary stories. Need to watch again, been a while. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
