The Amicus Collection Freddie Francis

Double bill of classic horror films. In 'Tales from the Crypt' (1972) five strangers go with a tourist group to explore a set of old caves. However, after becoming separated from the main party, a mysterious crypt keeper appears and begins to detail how each of them will die.

'Vault of Horror' (1973) features five separate horror tales, linked by the story of five men trapped in a vault beneath the Thames. The individual tales involve mysticism, vampires in an English town, the grisly end of an insurance racket, magicians, and the voodoo exploits of an artist who exacts revenge by painting the deaths of his detractors. The cast includes Daniel Massey, Anna Massey, Tom Baker and Terry-Thomas.
