70's British Horror Films

"...And Now The Screaming Starts!"

It's not Hammer, but I'm going on the basis that your guess of it being a Hammer production dates it to me as late 60s/early 70s.
 
I've got that in my Amicus box but I've not watched it.

I was sure the Richard Todd story in Asylum has a body chopped up , put in brown paper and then in a freezer but parts start moving out.

There's also The Hand movie too
 
.... and The Avengers, Thriller , New Avengers, Professionals - not to mention the many scripts he wrote for all the great action shows of the 60's and 70's
 
Isn't that the segment also with Charlotte Rampling in? I thought there were several severed bits (IIRC they were trying to dispose of a husband/lover etc they'd bumped off for the money), in one shot crawling along the floor in a tied paper bag. Thanks for the invoked memory, I haven't seen Asylum since taping it off early-morning ITV in early 1993.
 
Wasn't Charlotte Rampling in the story as the nutter with Britt Ekland?

I'm confusing myself now over which stories were in Asylum and which were FBTG

Put me in the mood to dig out the Amicus box and From Beyond The Grave now
 
I had to look it up myself to make sure.
The Amicus films are great but sometimes the stories do merge into each other.

Personally , my fave segment is the opening one from The House that Dripped Blood with Denholm Elliot as the writer who's deranged killer Dominic appears to come to life.

Spooky or what?

Ironically it was the first Amicus not to get an X much to the disappointment of the producers who thought the lower certificate would affect their market.

How times change
 
The living dead at the Manchester Morgue - what a great film! Ta

but where in the name of Dick Van Dyke did they get all those dubbed voices?

best lines - the radiation works on the insects nervous system. It drives them mad and they attack one another. I think we're going to see a real revolution in agriculture!
