John Bender I also saw this in the late 1960s and/or 1970s on Chiller Theater here in Pittsburgh (WIIC Channel 11 NBC affiliate). I only ever saw this on Chiller Theater - never anywhere else. The title it had when I saw it on Chiller Theater was "King Vampire". The title refers to one of the episodes. This film utterly amazed me in that it so completely had all the production values of a high school play! This thing makes Ed Wood look like a big-budget A-list director! I kept thinking that any minute Chilly Billy was going to break in and announce that the movie was a joke, a phony production slapped together by the Channel 11 guys. You have got to see this to believe it.

rufasff Look, I'll be brief. If you have ANY taste for the so-bad-they're-great classics (Plan 9, Robot Monster, Brain That Wouldn't Die), hunt down a copy of this, the most overlooked member of the club. Amazingly, this was put out in letterboxed form; but anyway you can find it, WATCH THIS MOVIE. It is fantastic

J. Mike Perkins Made to rip off Hammer Studios "Gallery of Horrors" this film really stinks. Its a series of short films sort of tied together with John Carradine's narration. Of course John Carradine would appear in anyone's film and did not seem to care how stupid or embarrassing he might look (there is something to be said for that I guess). Poor Lon Chaney, Jr. was said to be drinking a lot by the time he made this and he would need to be to get through this stinker! Drinking a lot might also help if you have to watch this movie!The director is also responsible for The Mighty Gorga and Journey to the Center of Time, which are also pretty awful. You can torture people making them watch this film (and there is something to be said for that as well).

mjshannon Simply put, this is one of the worst horror films ever made! This is all the more surprising considering some of the talent involved. However, John Carradine, who narrates this mess, was well known to appear in just about everything he was offered, apparently without considering how horrible the final product could be and Lon Chaney,Jr was at the very end of his career and is therefore bloated, bleary eyed and barely conscious! The makers of this must have spent all of five dollars on the sets and script, both of which are so hollow and flimsy an episode of Scooby Doo would prove more challenging. Simplistic and plodding (at 82 minutes you'd swear it was twice as long)this isn't one of those movies that is so bad it's good--this movie is just BAD! Pop this dud in your VCR only if you want to end a date early or really do like watching paint dry.
