DON’T FORGET -AMICUS-
They made some good ones too.
My fave (also, IMO, the scariest) was Dracula has Risen from the Grave. I slept with the light on for almost a year after seeing that one. Christopher Lee was just awesome.
Other cherished faves are:
The Abominable Doctor Phibes and Doctor Phibes Rises Again, both starring Vincent Price;
Mask of the Red Death (also starring Vincent Price);
Scream and Scream Again (A Brit film comprised of various vignettes).
I dunno. The old British film makers had a great knack for creating awesome psychological and visual thrillers. Love them.
I remember the Hammer Films
