Edgar Wright on

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors

Released 1965
Distributor Paramount

Hammer competitor Amicus Films found their mojo with this 1965 multi-story horror omnibus, which led to countless iterations of the same formula, including their biggest hit Tales from the Crypt. The genius of the portmanteau system was that the actors were often needed for only a few days, which allowed for casts that were almost ridiculously classy.
