This House Feeds On Your Fear; You Won't Get Out Alive
On the outside, Yew Tree House seems like a peaceful, country villa - the perfect place for escaping your worries. Unfortunately, it is possessed by evil. Books on witchcraft line the shelves in the study. Yew trees used to make magic potions provide shade. This house destroys the lives of everyone who lives there as evidenced by the quartet of tales in one of Amicus Production's greatest horror anthologies: "The House That Dripped Blood.""Method for Murder" - An overworked horror writer, Charles Hillyer, is obsessed by his latest novel. He begins to imagine seeing its villain, Dominick the strangler. Then people around him begin to die. The creepiest tale in the anthology, it has a great twist ending."Waxworks" - Horror legend Peter Cushing is retired stockbroker Phillip Grayson. Wandering into town, he visits a wax museum of murderers. One of the, Salome, resembles his dead lover; she is holding the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Because the wax figure is so beautiful and mesmerizing, men begin literally losing their heads. This one is the goriest tale."Sweets to the Sweet" - Another horror legend, this time Christopher Lee, stars in this tale; he is businessman John Reid who is terrified of his adorable, pixie-faced daughter, and for good reason. She is the spawn of a witch. Voodoo and black magic run rampant in this tale."The Cloak" - Famous horror actor Paul Henderson buys a cloak for a role in a vampire film; he is unaware that it belonged to a genuine vampire. The cloak causes him to put the bite on luscious Ingrid Pitt ("The Vampire Lovers" and "Countess Dracula"). Lions Gate has presented a superb DVD package. "The House That Dripped Blood" is presented in a pristine widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Audio and video are wonderful. An interview with the witty co-producer Max J. Rosenberg has been provided. Max explained that him and his co-producer Milton Subotsky called their production company Amicus which means "friends." "What were we suppose to call it?" he asked, "enemies?" All of the tales are based on short stores written by "Psycho" author Robert Bloch. Max explains that he went through literally hundreds of them before he found ones suitable for the anthology. "The House of Blood" is highly recommended for Amicus fans. Other Amicus anthologies that are highly recommended are "Asylum," "Torture Garden," "Tales from the Crypt," "Vault of Horror," "From Beyond the Grave," "Tales that Witness Madness" and "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors." In the United States, the last two have not been given a DVD release.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Amicus Movie.
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013

The fans of Amicus movies all have their personal favorites. Some prefer the pulpiness of TALES FROM THE CRYPT or VAULT OF HORROR while others enjoy the cheesiness of TORTURE GARDEN or DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS. Then there's the literate approach of HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD and FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. I love them all and saw every Amicus film that came my way, even the non-anthology ones like AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS and I, MONSTER. Most of them I caught in drive-ins. My personal preference is for the low key approach of HOUSE and GRAVE with HOUSE being my favorite Amicus movie although it was a close race between the two.

HOUSE strikes me as a combination of MASTERPIECE THEATER and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. It's even based on stories by Robert Bloch (PSYCHO). The film is a remarkably handsome production considering the budgetary limitations of $500,000. It grossed far more than that. The photography is simple and direct, the background lighting is extremely effective, and the performances by old pros at the genre like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are uniformly fine. Even an over-the-top Jon Pertwee in a role originally intended for Vincent Price is, forgive the pun, Price-less. As is often the case with anthologies, some stories are better than others with #s 2 & 3 standing out in my opinion.

The film has an interesting background and release history. In addition to the Vincent Price story, the director, Peter Duffell, wanted to call it "Death & the Maiden" after the musical work in the Peter Cushing segment but producer Milton Subotsky came up with the less prosaic title. Ironically, there's no blood in the film at all. It was originally released in the U.S by a small company called Cinerama (no relation to the film process) who quickly went under leaving the film hard to see for many years. The original VHS was a sad affair but the 2003 Lionsgate DVD (the one pictured here) is the one to get. The more recent Hens Tooth DVD has oversaturated colors. If you love old school British horror, this is one of the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terror waits for you in every room...
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2003

Ahhh, another juicy Amicus film released by Lion's Gate Entertainment. With The House That Dripped Blood, we get five fearsome tales involving murder, voodoo, vampires, and generally bad mojo all around. The tales are centered on a large, old house located just outside of a small town in the English countryside. Seems a report filed on the disappearance of the most recent owner by the local constabulary has raised some questions within Scotland Yard, prompting a Yard investigator to make the trip for more clarification. On arriving, the investigator learns that the disappearance of the recent tenant was only the last in a long line of strangeness to come out of that house with regards to past tenants.

The first tale, Method For Murder, involves a horror writer, played by Denholm Elliot, whose most recent literary creation, a maniacal strangler, seems to have come to life, and is lurking in and around the house, being all troublesome and such.

The second story, Waxworks, stars Peter Cushing as a retired investment banker and mysterious goings on at the local wax museum. Seems one of the wax figures in the museum bares an uncanny resemblance to a woman he used to know. This one also has a young Joss Ackland, of whom I vaguely recognized until I remembered him as the head bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2.

The third story, Sweets to the Sweet, stars Christopher Lee in a tale about a child with unnatural abilities. To say anymore would give it away, though you will most likely be able to figure out what's going on before the ending is revealed.

The fourth story, The Cloak, star Jon Pertwee as an egotistical horror actor in search of a realistic cloak for an upcoming role in a horror movie. He does find what he's looking for, and much more. Also in this one is Ingrid Pitt, as his buxom co-star. This one had a twinge of humor throughout, while the others were more serious, straightforward horror tales. One part that stands out in my mind was when Pertwee is verbally thrashing the art and movie director for the lack of realism in the sets and in the wardrobe, and he relates the 'look' he's after to past horror movies for examples, citing Frankenstein and Dracula, "but the one with Bela Lugosi, not that newer one." in reference to Christopher Lee and his performances as the count.

The fifth story is basically an ongoing one between the other stories, involving the Scotland Yard inspector hearing each of the four tales, and then deciding to see this house for himself.

All stories seem to be credited to Robert Bloch, probably best known for writing the Hitchcock classic Psycho, but looking at the IMDb, it shows a couple of other writers had a hand in this movie, most notably Richard Matheson. The print used for transfer to DVD was quite good, especially when compared to an included trailer of dubious quality. The only other special feature is a psuedo interview with the producer, Max Rosenberg, whose prolific production career includes such movies like Scream and Scream Again (1969), Tales From the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), The Land That Time Forgot (1975), and The Incredible Melting Man (1977). Good directing, accomplished actors, a creepy house, and a haunting musical score all come together to create an overall enjoyable experience. The threads that tied the individual stories to the house were a little thin in some places, but that appears fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not A Drop In Sight.....
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2003

Don't be misled by the title. This is a movie that relies on atmospheric sets, solid acting, and mood-enhancing music to get the job done. As you would expect from a master of the genre such as Robert Bloch, all of the stories are well-crafted (unlike many anthologies, which toss at least one dud into the mix). I was very pleased with the transfer from VHS to DVD. The picture is bright and clear, and I was able to discover many details that were murky on tape. The sound is also crisp, which is especially important with this movie - the music and the odd sound effects are integral to maintaining the spooky atmosphere that permeates the film. The first three stories are serious in tone, but Mr. Bloch lightens-up the proceedings in the final story - where the rubber-faced Jon Pertwee and the buxom Ingrid Pitt are given a chance to camp things up a bit. This very enjoyable movie has thunderstorms, candlelight, creaking doors, shadows, and cobwebs.....but no blood. Let me provide some by giving this film a rating of...."A positive."

This is a review for the Limited Edition, 1 disc, Region B blu ray release from Second Sight Films, running time 102 minutes.
As this limited Edition is OOP (out of print) it is currently priced between £50.00 and £100.00.

LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS:

Rigid Slipcase Featuring New Artwork by Graham Humphreys.
40 page booklet with new essays by Allan Bryce, Jon Towlson and Kat Ellinger.
Reversible poster featuring new and original artwork.
Reversible Sleeve containing new and original artwork.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Audio Commentary with Director Peter Duffell and Author Jonathan Rigby.
Audio Commentary with Film Historian and Author Troy Howarth.
Interview with Second Assistant Director Mike Higgins.
"A Rated Horror Film" - Vintage featurette featuring interviews with Director Peter Duffell and Actors Geoffrey Bayldon, IngridPitt and Chloe Franks.
Theatrical Trailers.
Amicus Radio Spots.
Stills Gallery.
Optional English subtitles for the hard of hearing.

The first thing you notice is how solid the thick hard box is, and the stunning new artwork.
The box contains one single blu ray case, a double sided poster and a 40 page collectors booklet.
This is another smart looking release from Second Sight.
A great Edition to Amicus and Horror shelves.
That said if I were to be super critical my only gripe would be that the blu ray itself is the exact same disc and case that you can buy on its own for around £10.00. Same reversible sleeve, same special features and same cut of the film.
So you are in fact paying £40.00 + for a hard box, poster and booklet.
Lovely as they are that's a lot of cash. Meaning this one fits squarely in the "for collectors" bracket.
Being OOP will always drive the price up, so worth considering if it's worth it to you.

Wer die Filme aus den Hammer Studios mag, dem dürften auch die Werke aus der Amicus-Schmiede gefallen.
Bei "The House that Dripped Blood" handelt es sich um einen Episodenfilm, der 1970 unter der Regie von Peter Duffell entstand.
Den Rahmen für die vier Episoden des Films bildet natürlich das titelgebende Haus. Inhaltlich geht es um einen Serienkiller, der von einem Autor "herbeigeschrieben" wird; eine Wachsfigur der "Salome", die frisches Blut fordert; ein KIndemädchen mit einem unheimlichen Schützling und einem Vampircape mit besonderen Eigenschaften.
Es sollte noch erwähnt werden, dass die beiden "Top-Hammer-Schauspieler" Peter Cushing und Christopher Lee mit von der Partie sind und sich Robert Bloch (der einige Drehbücher für Amicus, aber auch das zu Hitchcocks'"Psycho" schrieb)für das Drehbuch verantwortlich zeichnet.
Der Film bietet also alles für einen Fan des gepflegten, etwas altmodischen Horrorgenuss.
Die Ausstattung und Qualität der DVD geht in Bezug zum Alter des Films auch völlig in Ordnung.
Fans von Hammer und Amicus können also bedenkenlos zugreifen.
