This 1945 horror drama was made by the studio that had given us so many wonderful comedies and has become a classic of this form of multi story genre, one that Amicus revived in 1965 with ‘Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors’. It was decided to completely omit the golfing tale altogether (for possible release as a 400′) as we needed to reach the 75 minutes mark for its 8mm release. The 16mm print arrived and we knew from the word go that the material was of poor quality, but EMI said they were unable to improve it and had suggested we had a 35mm print struck! That was at the time a price right out of our reach and far too costly, so we proceeded to cut the 16mm print. The rest most of you know, a classic ruined because of the dreadful quality. Label designed by Marianne Frost and printed inhouse by myself.
