The House That Dripped Blood 1971.
A Scotland Yard detective investigating the disapearance of a actor is told stories of the previous tenants who stayed at the same house.
Another anthology of tales from the studio of Amicus, with some tales with a twist. A novelist working on a new book creates a character he believes has come to life. A retired stock broker finds a wax museum and a piece of work seems to resemble someone he and his friend once knew. A widower and his daughter move to the house only for his shy daughter to come out of her shell with diabolical consequence. A horror movie actor rents the house while shooting a new movie purchases a mysterious black cloak.
At first seeing this I didn't appreciate it I found it dull and pointless, over the years I grew towards enjoying it and its meaning towards the end, the twists of the stories can be predictable but are still enjoyable and has great acting from Denholm Elliott, Peter Cushing, Joss Ackland, Christopher Lee, Jon Pertwee and Ingrid Pitt.
