Five men, all strangers, board a carriage on a train from London to the town of Bradley, where they're joined at the last minute by a sixth - a mysterious, black-clad older gentleman who introduces himself as Doctor Schreck (German for “terror”, as he informs them). Bearing a stack of Tarot cards, Doctor Schreck claims to have the ability to read fortunes, and although some of the group are initially skeptical, it’s not long before his fellow passengers are asking him each in turn to relate what the future holds in store. What follows is five fiendish tales of terror, as the doctor reveals the various dreadful fates that are to befall his traveling companions - which include bone-chilling encounters with werewolves, killer plants, voracious vampires and all other manner of horrors!
The first in a line of anthology films to be produced by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg’s celebrated Amicus Productions, DR. TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS is a frightfully entertaining classic of 60s British horror which reunites genre legends Peter Cushing as the titular doctor and Christopher Lee, who delivers a memorable turn as a scathing art critic terrorized by a disembodied hand! Helmed by Academy Award® winner Freddie Francis and featuring an early appearance by Donald Sutherland (Don’t Look Now), Vinegar Syndrome conjures up the 4K UHD debut of DR. TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS, presented from a brand new 4K restoration of its 35mm camera negative and stacked with extras both old and new!

"I'm already a big fan of Amicus productions, so this one is a real treat because I'm also a fan of the anthologies. It has everything we love about the studio: a stellar cast, a gothic atmosphere, and a variety of monsters!"
"This is a great ‘anthology’ film. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Donald Sutherland, et al provide wonderful performances. A great film to watch on a spooky Saturday night!"
"Amicus' first horror production was also their first anthology. And while it's not the best in the series, it's still a pretty entertaining affair with a great cast. Amicus may have produced low budget films but they somehow managed to punch above their weight. Plus, who doesn't want to see Technicolor films in 4K? Excellent transfer, a nice package all the way around."
"A treat for fans of Lee & Cushing movies from this era, Awesome edition for this gem! The restoration looks impressive too."
"Ultra-Classic Amicus Horror Anthology! A must!!!"
"One of my favorite horror anthologies gets a beautiful upgrade to 4K. Loaded with extras, this release makes for a perfect addition to one’s fright film library."
"Fun amicua like supernatural thriller. If you are a fan of these films when the package and featues make this a good buy"
"Another superb release from Vinegar Syndrome! Transfer looks absolutely stunning. I'm a huge fan of the Amicus portmanteau films and this is another great one. One of the earlier films in their roster, but you get Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and a bonus Donald Sutherland! Beautiful slipcover too if you get the chance to grab one!"
"I love this film so much and this 4K upgrade is the best version out there. The tale told in this film is classic Amicus and maybe the best the studio ever produced. The extras on this set are magnificent, with a highlight being an interview with genre god, Stephen Thrower. All in all, this is an unmissable release from Vinegar Syndrome."
"I love a good Amicus anthology! I grew up watching these on television whenever they were on. Freaked me out as a kid! This is a good one with a great cast. Image and sound are crystal clear. The picture is solid and you can hear every peep. The slipcover is fantastic and well worth the extra cost."
