Amicus had already shown their skill with portmanteau horror movies with the likes of Dr Terror’s House of Horrors and Torture Garden, but as you’ll see in the Ultimate Guide to The House That Dripped Blood, they soon had the formula down to a tee. Written by Robert Bloch and Russ Jones, and directed by Peter Duffell, this star-studded anthology chiller drew audiences into a police search for a missing film star, and wove in three other eerie tales as the history of the actor’s rented house came to light. Taking established horror tropes like vampirism and witchcraft, and pointing them in new directions, this movie was a captivating addition to the Amicus collection, giving audiences four stories for a single price of admission. In this luxurious guide to The House That Dripped Blood, you’ll discover the many reasons why it holds a place in the hearts of many fans.

The written content, meanwhile, will draw you into the story of the movie’s production, giving you a deeper understanding of how the project took shape and discussing the obstacles along the way.
