Tales That Witness Madness. 1973.

A psychiatrist introduces a colleague to four patients and tells him the stories on how they got admitted.

Mr Tiger.
A young boy caught in the middle of bickering parents creates a imaginary friend who may not be imaginary at all.

Penny-Farthing.
A antique dealer inherits a bike that has the capability to travel back in time and has a haunted picture of the previous owner.

Mel.
While out jogging, a man brings in a tree stump to his house and wants it as decor but his wife becomes jealous with the time he is spending with the tree.

Luau.
A novelist staying at his publicist house prepares a Luau but has other plans to hold the party.

Before becoming another psychiatrist and screaming he shot someone six times, Donald Pleasance plays the lead doctor along with colleague Jack Hawkins who is introduced to some patients. As always there is a interesting twist to the segments then comes another twist to the main story. Freddie Francis did try his best with the plot and some decent acting but at times it feels like writer Jennifer Jayne was lacking in create suspense especially in the last segment. This will be re-watched.
