For me personally, I feel that 70's and 80's horror movies tower above anything that has been released recently. There is a genuine creepiness that exudes from these films which is why horror fans, including myself, love them so much. The House That Dripped Blood is a primary example of that.
The House That Dripped Blood is an anthology horror movie that revolves around a house in the U.K. It was amazing to see such a star-studded cast of horror legends like Peter Cushing and the late Christopher Lee appear in the film, along with Denholm Elliott and even Joss Ackland (the baddie from Lethal Weapon 2)! I feel like the segments with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are the best ones despite some cliche writing. You know you are watching a good horror flick when you catch yourself looking behind you to make sure you are alone, and The House That Dripped Blood is exactly that.
Peter Duffell is the director of The House That Dripped Blood. The way he directs the film is one of the principal reasons why horror movies of that generation are so good. He uses the camera as you would just as if you were making any other kind of movie, and then classic horror elements are implemented throughout. You get a genuine sense of fear and terror when watching this film.
Horror is one of my favorite genres. It is always great to watch a movie that has you waking up in the middle of the night, and The House That Dripped Blood will do just that. This movie will definitely make for a good movie night, especially during the Witching Hour.
