I find it funny when Chris tries to pick up the pace of the show and the old dude on the right just keeps rambling on.
I could listen to Dan for hours and hours and enjoy all of his amazing knowledge of films and cool trivia, he is fascinating to listen to. Alo actually did the mix tape show prior to this and his bedtime was probably getting closer by the end.
Omg he is awful. He just goes fkng on and on. Ive just had to turn off the top ten universal horror films becwuse of this same guy!!!
1. The Haunting (1963)
2. Legend of Hell House
3. Abominable Dr. Phibes
4. Dr. Phibes Rises Again
5. Die Monster, Die
Honorable mentions:
Night of the Demon (U.S. title Curse of the Demon)
I, Monster
City of the Dead (aka Horror Hotel)
Burn, Witch, Burn
Tomb of Ligeia
First Man Into Space (a b-movie, but it was the first horror film I was permitted to see (age 7...gave me nightmares for a week)
I went out to a list of British horror movies to refresh myself. They had Murder By Decree listed, but I don't know if I can call it a horror movie even though there some horrific scenes in the movie. It was Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. I look upon it more as a Sherlock Holmes picture, but if it counted it would have placed #2 on my list.
Thanks, guys. I learned about some horror classics I didn't know about.
The character Donald Pleasence plays on Raw Meat, aka Death Line from '72 looks like a parody of a clumsy, drunk Samuel Loomis, yet still a creepy film with an original story. Dark Places from '73 also cool, that scene of the window with the light on seen from the distance is very effective.
Dark Places is good, wonder why it's never made it to DVD with that great cast; Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Robert Hardy, Herbert Lom and Roy Evans (from Psychomania with Hardy). Speaking of Chris' fine choice of Psychomania, surely this is a mission now to have Pete see it. I really like Scream and Scream Again (its cyborg vampire plot) not sure it's been mentioned anywhere yet.
Theater of Blood is terrific, the best Vincent Prince performance of all time, lots of blood and ghoulish comedy slathered on top of a Shakespeare revenge drama.
It also was one of Vincent Price's favourite roles
Superb film!
A favorite of mine, good choice!
TOB rocks and has Emma Peel in it!
@@EdwardBox It was also one of Emma's / Diana Rigg's favourite roles
Pete, I join in the recommendation of the original, 1961 "The Innocents"-- creepy, eerie, and very envelope-pushing thematically, especially for its time! Criterion's Blu-ray release is the best way to see it. It's a great restoration of a classic horror film!
Absolutely, one of the best ghost movies ever made, almost included it myself. Same with The Haunting, Land That Time Forgot, The Haunted House of Horror, Theatre of Blood and the Phibes movies but decided against them because not entirely sure they're all-British productions, though all were filmed in England. I guess they may count in technical terms, they're US/UK co-productions.
I've ordered it...on the way!
The Innocents is taken from the short story The Turn of the Screw by Henry James in 1898. The movie's director, Jack Clayton brought in Truman Capote to work on the screenplay. Brilliant and creepy movie!
The screenplay for the Land That Time Forgot was co-written by one of my all-time favorite authors; Michael Moorcock.
Moorcock was not only an accomplished author of fantasy and sci-fi fiction, but he also worked with both Hawkwind, and Blue Oyster Cult. Plus, one of his most famous creations was the character of Elric of Melnibone. If Elric is not a household name to you (in my case, I have 3 cats, 1 of them is named Elric), you may be at least familiar with the image of the character, especially if you are a fan of Cirith Ungol; he's the pale warrior on all of their album covers.
As far as Witchfinder General goes; that is probably Vincent Price's greatest performance ever. And, if you were ever curious about the American title of the Conqueror Worm. It happened because the movie was distributed by AIP stateside and they had had a great deal of success with their Edgar Poe films featuring Vincent Price, so they had intercut a reading by Price of the Poe penned poem the Conqueror Worm into the movie, just so they could sell it as another Poe movie in America.
Hawkwind did a whole album based on Elric - The chronicle of the black sword.
‘Oh, whistle and I’ll Come’ an essential English M.R James ghost story brilliantly and so eerily adapted for the screen.
Can’t forget ‘The Medusa Touch’ amazing tension and well written.
I’d also recommend ‘A field in England’
Love most of the BBC M R James adaptations. Visited Suffolk a few years back Places like Dunwich was hoping to meet A ghost or two.Have you seen the more recent View from the hill.Really creepy gem.
@@orchidcarpetcleaningrp6061 That's what I was going to say. View from a hill really got me. The other BBC adaptions like "The Ash Tree", The Conductor, and Mr Humphreys and his inheritance are also phenomenal. The only modern film that duplicated the atmosphere was "The Awakening" with Rebecca Hall. I am on a deep dive with 70's horror right now, and few live up to M.R James. No gore, no slasher, just brilliant storytelling.
My parents took me to see The Medusa Touch when I was seven.Gave me the creeps,especially the scene with the church falling apart and pieces of it landing on peoples heads.
Nice shout for A Field in England. That film is so amazingly bizarre and fascinating. And the "divinitation" scene will haunt me for a long time.
My five favourites
1. *'The Wicker Man'* - I like horror films when one has the idea that they could be based in reality. I love the pagan background to the film and its extraordinary finale. By the way, Britt Ekland had an arse double for her nude scene in the film. I wouldn't have thought she'd have needed one...
2. *'The Abominable Dr. Phibes'* - So strange, so original, so brilliant. Vincent Price is astounding in this wonderful film.
3. *'The Blood on Satan's Claw'* - Really atmospheric and well made. A big plus point is the presence of the delectable Linda Hayden.
4. *'Witchfinder General'* - Very well made and full of drama. Really enjoyed this film.
5. *'Penda's Fen'* - A film originally made for television, it was described by a critic as 'a lasting vision of heresy and pastoral horror'. It is bizarre, complex, allegorical and I'm not sure I understood even a half of it. But it's a wonderful work of art and well worth seeing.
I’m surprised no one mentioned Linda Hayden....Angel Blake....great name....hot as hell.
Britt Ekland needed that double because she was pregnant and it would have shown in some shots, if I remember correctly
Night of the Demon...absolute class movie, brilliant dialogue, especially Carswell’s lines and insights into witchcraft.
The innocents and The Wicker Man (and soundtrack) are also among my most treasured films..top picks.
The innocents atmosphere is a perfect fit with the vibe of Opeth’s Deliverance and Blackwater Park.
Agree. Love the innocents my favourite ghost story by far.
@@ukrocksounds3419 it’s a cinematic masterpiece. I like how the movie is bookended by a black screen and Nightingale song.
@@alanjames762 Yes your right, the acting is first class also. The black and white photography, direction is perfect.
Great stuff guys and there are some films from your list I want to check out. I want to throw out some love for THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS (1960). A Burke and Hare film with Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance that is very dark and unsettling. Directed by John Gilling (PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES), I highly recommend the Kino Blu Ray for those who haven’t seen it.
I got the Kino release not long ago, but have yet to watch it. Great film!
Another great show, with some excellent non Hammer horror films recommended ! Just got to mention, I'm not sure about sequels for "The Innocents", but there was a forgettable prequel made called "Nightcomers"
(1971), directed by Michael Winner and starring Marlon Brando.
Here's my list of films (not included in the show).
1. "Death Line" (aka "Raw Meat" - 1972).
2 "Inseminoid" (aka "Horror Planet" - 1981).
3. "The Creeping Flesh " (1973).
4. "Theatre Of Blood" (1973).
5. "The Blood Beast Terror" (aka "The Vampire Beast Craves Blood" - 1968).
Here's a few honourable mentions.
"Horror Express" (UK/Spanish production - 1972).
"The Devils" (1971 - historical horror!).
"Don't Look Now" (1970 - horror mystery ?).
Horror Express was 100% brilliant. I keep looking for something along those lines, but fall short. Nothing like the classic MR James adaptations
No-one mentioned that The Innocents is a pretty straight adaptation of Turn Of The Screw. There's a prequel to the film with Marlon Brando, called The Nightcomers.
Featuring one of my fav 70s busty hotties, Stephanie Beacham! Cool film with some cheeky stuff going on, indeed
The Nightcomers has a beautiful soundtrack by Jerry Fielding
Highly recommended
The Monster's Den is my favorite video of the week. There are films mentioned here that I need to check out!
Anything with Vincent Price is always scary. The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971) still creeps me out.
28 days (and weeks!) later guys.
If they aren't horror films,then my pillow was next to ingrid pitts pillow every night.
Nicolas Roeg's Don't look now is a long time favorite of mine.
Wonderful film and that ending.My wife's friend was on a ferry going to a Greek island and the ugly dwarf was on the boat
@@orchidcarpetcleaningrp6061 I first saw this as a kid and the final reveal always gives me a chill.
Wonderful show Pete! Hope to check out the Island of Terror soon. Have you ever considered doing a channel similar to this but focusing on Science Fiction classic and/or obscure films?
Just guessing, it might fit into The Monster's Den somewhere.
Night of the Demon is based on the M. R. James story Casting the Runes, which is public domain. This is probably how Rami got away with it.
Great, really great panel tonight. Always fun to listen to true fans of horror movies.
4:20 "Sam Raimi ripped NIGHT OF THE DEMON off in DRAG ME TO HELL, and ripped off EQUINOXE in EVIL DEAD." Good point ! Never noticed.
Great choices here by all, though surprised no one mentioned Dead of Night from 1945.
The original horror anthology (or at least damn near).
1. Peeping Tom (1960) - Criminally underrated early slasher/psychological horror
2. Tales From The Crypt (1972) - I love ALL the Amicus horror anthologies
3. 28 Days Later (2002)
4. Hellraiser (1987)
5. Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly (1970)
HM's:
Kill List (2011)
The Ritual (2017)
Don't Look Now (1973)

From Beyond the Grave is a real fav along with the Wicker Man and Witchfinder General. A couple of really good modern ones are The Descent and Eden Lake.
Thank you guys! Great show - great topic! Many fine choices here - Land that Time Forgot from Rich thinking outside the box, got to throw in some dinosaurs and big monsters! I’d throw in 28 days later!
Director Pete Walker's horror films are all very good, most of them are anyway. I love Frightmare and The Comeback in particular but they're all watchable.
1. The Vault of Horror (Amicus anthology)
2. The Island of Terror (Planet: Dir. Terrence Fisher, starring Christopher Lee. I once told a work mate about it, and he said his uncle Tom (Blakey) produced it!)
3. The Whicker Man
4. Dog Soldiers (starring Kevin McKidd and Sean Pertwee)
5. The House in Nightmare Park (weird horror comedy with British comedian Frankie Howerd)
HM: Village of the Damned (1960, starring George Sanders of Shere Khan fame)
Blood On Satan's Claw, Tales From The Crypt, Masque Of The Red Death (AIP but British made), Vampyres (Spanish Director but made in England)
I love the anthologies, but I’ll limit it to one-probably the greatest one of all.
1. The Haunting (Legend of Hell House is a great knockoff too)
2. The Innocents
3. Dead of Night
4. Satan’s Slave
5. The Skull
6. Night of Big Heat (it’s Lee & Cushing, gotta go with an odd ball)
7. And Now the Screaming Starts (Amicus)
Chriiiiiis stop typing with the mic on! :D I keep being amazed how no one on stream is bothered by such things.. patience of saints!
Night Of The Demon. Night Of The Eagle. The Haunting. The Wicker Man. A Dark Song...
My parents took me to see Tales From The Crypt when I was little kid.During the first story ,I fell asleep .I wake up during the end credits.On the way home,my Mom and Dad and both brothers are telling me what I missed.I'm sitting there thinking"why didn't you wake me up?"DAMMIT!!!!
Dan's top 5
5. The Wicker Man (1973)
4. Island of Terror (1967)
3. The House that dripped Blood (1971)
2. Horror Hotel (1960)
1. The Haunting (1963)
This was a tough list to compile because there are just so many to choose from
Thanks Dan for sharing some great background stories and trivia with us.
Beware, My Brethren aka The Fiend (1972) is a cool one. Vinegar Syndrome put out a sweet Blu ray.
Again, another excellent watch guys. 👹☠️🤟
Oh yes, Patrick Magee is in that, with Tony Beckly as the Serial killer, directed by Robert Hartford Davis who also made "Incense for the damned" and "Corruption". A Heavy Film in its uncut form. 🤘
Corruption is a great movie. The Grindhouse release is superb AND in includes the nastier cut! 👍🤟
So much fun to listen to lads, great video. If you love the slow burn and atmosphere of the wicker man I wonder if you’d enjoy Don’t look now, it’s a bit Art house but it’s as spooky as fuck, plus Chris would enjoy the Sex scene where they are actually banging for real.
On 1973's "The Wicker Man"-- as my username says, I am a Christian (but I *don't* push my faith onto people who don't want to hear about it, and I like a lot of music and movies that many Christians are *terrified* by, lol!), and I must agree: TWM is one of the most *utterly chilling* movies I've ever seen. The police investigator had his flaws... I didn't always agree with him... but man... what an ending! It still haunts me!
His utter despair at the end is so devastating. He realizes that in this place the last 2000 years of civilization basically never happened. It's not talked about much but I liked how the cop put a curse upon Christopher Lee's character at the end.
@@NaughtyVampireGod Wow-- actually, until now, that you mentioned it, I don't think that I *ever even noticed* that part about the cop and the curse that he pronounces! I'm going to have to go back and watch the ending again! Your point about his despair is a good and profound one. I just ordered the Blu-ray (of the original, of course, *not* the unintentionally hilarious remake, lol!), and I can't wait to revisit this classic!
@@christianman73 Yep. The curse is really the only hopeful note
Nice to see The Innocents mentioned in the comments section it's a wonderful film. Someone also mentioned Death Line (now available on Blu Ray) which I recall seeing on late night TV many moons ago it's a good little film set in the tunnels of the London Underground and Donald Pleasance is excellent as always. Chris would really like Virgin Witch (1970). Horror Express is 50% British as it was a co-production with a Spanish film company but deserves an honorable mention.
Pete how about a show on Horror 'shorts' there are quite a few decent ones out there. One I really like is Return To Glennascaul a ghost story shot in Ireland in 1951 which starts Orson Welles. It's 23 mins long, very atmospheric and I think won an Oscar for best short.
The innocents is a great creepy ghost movie, highly recommended Pete, My favourite. Atmosphere galore
Asylum is my second fav, along with Wicker man. House of whipcord is amazing too, by director pete walker. Two crazy elderly women who make up their extreme rules of punishment. Repulsion is a great creepy movie Rich.
Ordered the Innocents right after we did this show!
It has the best atmos and photography
Hi Pete, I usually watch your channel when eating dinner in front of my TV. I am just starting to get involved with commenting on the computer. I have a question that has been eating at me for about a year. What is that horror picture/poster in the top right of your screen? Brings back a memory that I just cannot seem to remember. Similar to album artwork, I always love checking out movie/book artwork and I hate when they change it for DVD's. Also, how about a horror movie poster show?
Hey Bob-it's actually not a horror poster, but a print of The Flash & Green Arrow. As for a poster show, perhaps we can do that at Chris Alo's house one day, as he has a ton of them
@@seaoftranquilityprog Awesome! Thanks. I wonder who the artist was. I have this horror comic book anthology from grade school called "Creepy" that has this Dracula fighting the Wolfman picture on the cover that always gave me nightmares, but I spent hours staring at it. There was no story inside the book to go with it so it stretched the imagination. Anyway, your print (from my angle) reminds me of that cover art, combined with the 70's King Kong movie poster (which always freaked me out and made me afraid of heights). Here is a link to that book cover art that I am talking about. That artists name was Frank Frazetta. You guys would probably appreciate it. bloody-disgusting.com/news/3258408/visions-of-horror-frank-frazetta-creepy-7-and-dracula-meets-the-wolfman/
LOL - I am reading the article that I gave you a link to. It appears that that issue had the actual story, but I had a book and that was just the cover. Still have it in fact. I remember one story where a guy finds a treasure in the desert and it turns him into a snake. Great stuff. I will stop rambling. Love your channel. I have enjoyed many meals with you and your crew.
More close up beaver shots than I have seen in years...... - Chris Alo
Dan is wrong about that being the best version of The Wicker Man. The UK bluray version has the theatrical cut, the Director's Cut he's referring to and the more recent "Final Cut" which Hardy said was the last word on the film. That's the one to get.
Great video!
Mine would be...
Witchfinder general
Wicker Man
Blood on Satan's claw
The beast must die
The innocents
Honourable mentions (more modern stuff)
Dog soldiers
The descent
"The Beast must die" is great!
Does anyone remember, which episode Chris told the amphibious being, to "just get the fuck out of the water"? I want to watch it again.
It was ranking Godzilla from Showa era.Alo was hilarious.
Sorry 2 years late😂
@@jerrygoodwin4077 Better late than never. 😄 Thanks!
Time for my favorite video of the week!
Yes! The Skull is darn good too and tied somewhere with something in my Top 5
Just watching this very carefully skipping over the plot summaries of all the ones I haven’t seen yet 😂
Great topic! I’d have to do a lot of thinking and research before I could come up with my top 5. But from the top of my head, here are some great ones from recent years:
Sightseers
Kill List
Eden Lake
Under the Skin
The Witch
1:The Innocents
2:The Wicker Man
3:City Of The Dead
4:Witchfinder General
5:Blood On Satan's Claw
and GORGO
Tyburn Productions was named after Tyburn Gallows aka The Tyburn Tree where public executions were carried out.
Love both the People and the Land that Time forgot movies, from the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories.

Love the way pete just turns around and picks out the movie they're talkin about, it takes me so long to find movies In my mess
The house used in The Haunting is now a hotel and is famously haunted. If you visit the UK it's well worth a night or twos stay. Ettington Park Hotel Alderminster Warwickshire UK
Mine would be ;
1. The House That Dripped Blood.
2. The Wicker Man.
3. Asylum.
4. Witchfinder General.
5. Vault Of Horror.
6. Horror Hotel.
7. Blood On Satan's Claw.
8. Creeping Flesh.

Torture Garden (1967)
The House That Dripped Blood (1971)

Tales That Witness Madness (1973)
The Uncanny (1977)
The Monster Club (1981)
the guy who directed “the sound of music” was the guy who directed the first Star Trek?
so, what are the 5 movies ?
Put the list on description pls
Children of the damned, Theatre of blood, From beyond the grave, Terror (1978, Crystal films).
Thanks to everyone who said Horror Hotel. It is a film I saw about 30 years ago and have been trying to figure out what it was ever since.
The best part of Blood on Satans Claw was the soundtrack.Creepiest music I have ever heard in a horror film.
Yes, "Bushy Beavers" is indeed an ice cream store chain up here in Canada!
Great show! So many good choices!
1. The Wicker Man
2. The Devils
3. Theatre of Blood
4. The Ghoul (1975)
5. From Beyond the grave
Oh yeah, "The Ghoul", loved the John Hurt character in that. I forgot about that one. Cheers.
@@maxinemckenzie6076 yeah it’s still great.Been watching it since I was 8.Lol
My no. 1 "Creep" set in the London Tube network (subway ). A cack-handed covert biological experiment that d -evolved into insanity and horror. Lots of it.
I absolutely love this film! When I mention it to most people they've never heard of it!
I guess it’s older British movies, but if 80s movies were included I would definitely add XTRO.
«Repulsion» is so fucking weird. I loved it! The original «Wicker Man» is great too. And I really need to watch «Tower of Evil» - great sales pitch from Chris Alo!
5. See No Evil
4. Village of the Damned
3. Shaun of the Dead
2. Hellraiser
1. An American Werewolf in London
I'm actually surprised no one brought up Village of the Damned.
@@Jamie.Laszlo Another great choice.
Hellraiser is on my top 5 list of all time horror films
Unrelated to the topic, but I just read that they've revived George Romero's last script and it will be the follow up to Land of the Dead. "Twilight of the Dead"
To people who have not seen the INNOCENTS have to see it ,it's very scary and eerie
Scared me when i was young. Pure Class movie, so well acted by all the cast.
Recommend The Wicker man soundtrack Christopher Lee so enjoyed singing on it .
Orchid . . . Oh yeah !
A brilliant bloody classic.💫
I first watched it at age 12 in 1980 and
The Wicker Man psychologically scared me for a week.🙅♂️🙅♀️
NOTE - PLEASE Please DON'T watch the so-called "updated"
US version with
Nicolas Cage as it will ruin your viewing the original UK masterpiece.
@@FrostedSeagull Not The Bee's
Do you guys know of Carry on Screaming?
The Mandala effect disappeared episode 14 of the Hammer House of Horror TV series 80s ( Normal family trapped in their house by mysterious steel walls ) Any one remember this episode ?
The Wicker Man was a great movie, but with all of the singing in it, it could almost be classified as a musical.
Devil Rides Out, Blood on Satan's Claw, Night of the Demon, Horror of Dracula, The Innocents.
Devil rides out, and Horror of Dracula, are hammer films.
@@ukrocksounds3419 waa waa waaaaah
Oh shit...I overlooked "WITCHFINDER GENERAL"! A masterpiece!
Chris's sinopsis on Blood on Satans Claw is Hilarious!!!-"F#cking and killing each other"-talk about in a Nutshell, Chris is the complete opposite of Dan.-GREAT Show guys!!!
-Also would líke to add that in some ironic way in 2021 nothing has changed since the 1600's when it comes to F@cking and killing each other.
Night of the Demon, City of the Dead, Dead of Night, The Skull, Burn Witch Burn.
Kill List - 2011. Peeping Tom - 1960. Wicker Man. - 1973.
"Peeping Tom" is a very powerful film.
This was a great episode......Jamie is always a cool and knowledgable guest ( that bitch be crazy 😂 ) and Dan don’t stop the trivia, it’s interesting as all hell....oh yeah and Ingrid Pitt......nothing else needs to be said...💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🤪
Absolutely agree, hoping to see you guesting on another SOT vid soon, Steve.
@@hellojimmypage cheers mate....me to...it’s a fun show. Pete and his crew do such a great job....SOT is the best thing I’ve found on TH-cam when it comes to movies and music. 😎
The Wicker Man (1973)
Eye of the Devil (1967)
Images (1972)
See No Evil (1971)
The Haunting (1963)
Repulsion (1965)
The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
The Innocents (1961)
The Devils (1971)
OK, I had to make it more than 5 and some of these lean more towards the thriller genre, had to mention them though!
Repulsion Tower of Blood Hill House ticks the box . Legend of Hell House / Vampyres ( Larrazar ) / The Beast Must Die 70s ticks mine .
Dr Terror's House of Horrors is the best of the Amicus compendium movies.
Britt Eakland was never nude it was a body double, she said in an interview that she hated nudity she didn't even sign his fans photo of her, she said to him it was not me.
Body double from the rear but all her from the front.
Death line,Tales from the Grave,The Wicker man,Asylum and all the wonderful BBC 2 M R James adaptation. A warning to the Curious and Whistle and I shall come short 30 minutes films creepy as hell. You can buy box sets on BBC Called M R James Ghost Stories
My 5 are
1. The Wicker Man
2. Blood on Satan's Claw
3. Satan's Slave
4. City of the Dead
5. The House That Dripped Blood
Night of the Demon, Wicker Man, Blood on Satan's Claw, Asylum, Dont' Look Now ( Nic Roeg, British ?)
good ones - although i was disappointed by the ending of Don't Look Now.
@@NaughtyVampireGod That ending is the only film scene to properly scare the living daylights out of me !! I was jumpy for about 10 mins afterwards.
@@stevenwilkinson1265 Hmm. I'd have to watch it again. Was sudden, but I felt that given all the build up it was a let down. IDK. I've be scared a lot worse by films. That one particular scene in Exoecist 3 for example . .
After Repulsion, Hammer wanted Roman Polanski to work for them.
The anthologies are all a little hokey these days - virtually all the individual stories were minor variations on what had gone before, were cheesy in the first place and/or have been rebooted endlessly but The Wicker Man, Blood on Satan's Claw and Witchfinder General still stand up well today. The Dr. Phibes films may not be horror classics but remain great fun.
big shout out richs pic.I think rich tales from crypt just wacthed was great
1. Night of the Demon
2. The Wicker man
3. Dog Soldiers
4. Witchfinder General
5. The Pit and the pendulum
Night of the Demon - yay
also Wicker MAn
Although the idiot in me forgot pit and the pendulum is aip. :(
AMICUS 1972
And Now The Screaming Starts!
"The Innocents" is based on "The Turning of the Screw" as is "The Haunting of Bly Manor." To call "The Others" terrible is a crime.
It's okay I suppose, I liked it too but obviously can't touch the masterpiece that is The Innocents.
Death Line
Island of Terror
Witchfinder General
Psychomania
Tower of Evil
Honorable mentions (some trashy)
Night of the Demon
Night of the Eagle
Corruption
The Beast in the Cellar
The Blood Beast Terror
Night of the demon is a classic..and dead of night..!
Lord Summerisle of course, not 'Summerland'. Wicker Man nudity trivia: Britt Ekland is only seen naked from the waist up. The gyrating full-length rear view was a dancer, Lorraine Peters, body-doubling for Ekland.
From the waist up? Good enough.
Fright (because of Susan George). Children of the Damned. X The Unknown. Island of Terror The Big Heat.
Good atmospheric film & SG is good too.
The tv series Dead Set was among the best horror ever done in the UK.
No one picks The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue......... Come on now. Edit: Yes, not a British film. Its quite an obvious Italian film. It was like 2am when i posted this. I blanked.
Probably because it's not actually a British film! I know it's set in the UK, but it's actually a Spanish/Italian production!! Great film though!!
@@mattshaw5179 exactly! We've discussed it on a prior zombie classics show.
@@mattshaw5179 And Matt Shaw for the win!!!
Horror Hospital and Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde are some british horror classics. Also The Movie Screamtime is great a british rip off of creepshow
Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly.
Any love for Xtro?
