The Saint: The Gadic Collection (5.27, ITC, 1967)

"He believed that people who are foolish deserve to be separated from their money."

"Well, I must confess, I feel the same way myself sometimes."

Wyngarde returns as guest star‚ but gets no fave spotted post from me this time; I've also largely tried to #avoid images with him in for this post. unfortunately a fairly good ep is rendered distasteful (and has fully understandably been dropped #from the current itv4 repeats) by one of the worst and most offensive cases of brownface I've come across in old tv. there's no excusing it #and it looks‚ frankly‚ ridiculous as well as deeply troubling. a very disappointing element of an otherwise entertaining episode #paul darrow also turns up and is also playing a native of Istanbul but happily does not appear to be under heavy makeup.. nor do much of #the guest cast‚ and certainly nobody near Wyngarde's level of makeup. which makes one wonder what happened and why on earth

I want you all to admire the synopses for the four different horror stories featured in this 1960′s film:

In Enoch, a greedy playboy (Michael Bryant) takes advantage of his dying uncle (Maurice Denham), and falls under the spell of a man-eating cat

In Terror Over Hollywood, a Hollywood starlet (Beverly Adams) discovers her co-stars are androids.

 In Mr. Steinway, a possessed grand piano by the name of Euterpe becomes jealous of its owner (John Standing)'s new lover (Barbara Ewing) and takes revenge.

In The Man Who Collected Poe, a Poe collector (Jack Palance) murders another collector (Peter Cushing) over a collectable he refuses to show him, only to find it [the collectable] is Edgar Allen Poe himself (Hedger Wallace).

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) - Episode 59 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era

“I sometimes foretell things that are frightening.” Please, tell us more! Join this episode’s Grue Crew - Whitney Collazo, Chad Hunt, Jeff Mohr, and special guest host Doc Rotten - as they take a deadly train ride with Dr. Terror who manipulates the cards in the tarot deck he refers to as his house of horrors in the aptly titled Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors.

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 59 – Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965)

Five strangers board a train and are joined by a mysterious fortune teller who offers to read their Tarot cards. Five separate stories unfold: An architect returns to his ancestral home to find a werewolf out for revenge; a doctor suspects his new wife is a vampire; an intelligent vine takes over a house; a jazz musician plagiarizes music from a voodoo ceremony; a pompous art critic is pursued by a disembodied hand.

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors is the first of seven portmanteaus produced by Amicus Productions. It has long been one of Doc’s favorites and he enthusiastically explains exactly why that is. Whitney is taken by the hand makeup in the “Werewolf” segment and also appreciates the disturbing art of Dr. Terror’s tarot deck. Jeff reveals that not only is “portmanteau” one of his favorite words but it’s also one of his favorite film structures. Chad reiterates his dread for disembodied hand scenes and manages to make a connection to the sinking of the Titanic. If you haven’t seen this Freddie Francis directed Cushing/Lee vehicle, your Grue Crew highly recommends you rectify the situation immediately!

The Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Grue Crew plan to release a new episode every other week. Hey, where else will you hear podcasts on films ranging from Dead of Night (1945) to The Hideous Sun Demon (1958) to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)? The next episode in our very flexible schedule will be The Cat and the Canary (1927), Paul Leni’s silent classic of the “old dark house” subgenre.

Please send us feedback on the films we cover, ideas for future films, or the podcast itself. After all, without you, we’re just four horror freaks talking about the films we love. Send us an email at [email protected] or leave us a message, a review, or a comment at GruesomeMagazine.com, iTunes, the Gruesome Magazine Horror News Radio Facebook group or your friendly neighborhood podcast aggregator.

To each of you from each of us, “Thank you so much for listening!

Man in a Suitcase: Who's Mad Now? (1.27, ITC, 1968)

"I can get you stopped, you know that?"

"You can try."

"A foreigner, here under sufferance, so to speak... and, uh, you do have a past."

"And, uh, you do have a big mouth; and, uh, you do have some big friends - right?"

#man in a suitcase #who's mad now? #classic tv #itc #1968 #freddie francis #roger parkes #richard bradford #robert hutton #audine leith #philip madoc #john harvey #harriette johns #hedger wallace #luanshya greer #pamela greer #a fairly modest‚ kind of minor episode; admittedly not one i remembered very much. Parkes was fairly new to scriptwriting and #by his own admission (in later interviews) considered his work on MiaS to be run of the mill rush work. this may also have been an episode #intended to save a little budget for some of the more expensive set pieces in the final few episodes; there's little location filming here #and just a couple of sets. not a bad episode‚ but not particularly a standout: the plot concerns an old flame of McGill's who worries #she's losing her mind. cue much 60s gaslighting and a few trippy scenes of apparent hallucination. Philip Madoc pops up as a psychologist #and honestly I'd have enjoyed more of his character. Bob Hutton is the rotten husband who may or may not be causing all the problems (but #let's be real‚ was it ever in doubt?). the scenes between McGill and Hutton do sparkle tho‚ full of restrained jealousy and indignation #i particularly enjoyed the quoted bit above (it's in the way Bradford really hits the 'uh's in a venomous mockery of Hutton's tone; quite #possibly an adlib??). as in the pilot‚ McGill ends up hiring another private detective to do some sleuthing on his behalf #Harvey is quite fun as the competent but heavy drinking private eye

Out of the Unknown: The Counterfeit Man (1.2, BBC, 1965)

"I've thought about this until I'm sick of thinking about it! I tell you, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid I can't sleep. This... this thing, it's here, it's - it's loose in our ship, and we can't even prove or detect its existence. If it were good, or friendly, or peaceable, it would have made itself known from the start. But it didn't do that. Don't you see what that implies? It murdered. Twice, it murdered."

It's tempting whenever watching old TV Sci fi (particularly BBC stuff and particularly 60s stuff) to end up comparing it to Dr #Who; this is only the 2nd ep of OotU but already it's clear that this series had an entirely different remit beyond anything DW could do. #This is a blisteringly dark play that also contains some body horror and gore the likes of which I have never seen in shows contemporary to #It. The final scenes are so horribly tense and disturbing that even tho the direction of the plot is fairly obvious at that point its still #Something you're begging the episode not to do. Oof. Genuine chills from this one. Goofy model rockets and men in rubber suits this is not. #Despite.. Actually featuring both of those... But you know what I mean. The tone. The tone is so horrific. Think The Thing (and I mean the #Carpenter version here) only with more psychological torture and a lot more blonde wigs (yeah idk what the wigs are about it never comes up #I guess the future is just.. Very blonde.)
