Viewing Notes

Pretty cool that Amazon added this kinda rare horror anthology. It stars Vincent Price and John Carradine as characters in the framing device (a horror disco/rock club) to share 3 stories, one featuring Donald Pleasance and another featuring Patrick Magee). Feels like a Amicus production. oh shit it is (just looked it up on TMDb).

The Shadmock story is the best. The humor is a little flat but it’s fun to see these actors together. I think this was added to Prime bc it recently got a updated Blu release. The transfer is great.
