Synopsis
- The Train of Terrors (1965)
Five travelers sit in one of the behaviors of a train from London to Bradley. If a sixth, the enigmatic Doctor Schreck, takes his place with them, he quickly proves to be an unusual companion, quick to draw tarot cards to predict their future. And what the maps announce to passengers paralyzed with terror is not very encouraging...
- Unleash the Monsters (1970)
A former racing champion discovers the day after his hospitalization that his leg has been amputated. The facility he landed in is run by Doctor Browning, a mad scientist trying to create an augmented human being.
- The House that Kills (1971)
First blocked in the elevator of a building in London, five strangers then find themselves prisoners in his library. What better way to kill time than to tell the other about your worst nightmare? For one, it's being handed over to a band of vampires. For the other, freak of cleanliness, it is to be killed by his young wife pushed to the limit… It is up to everyone to relive… their own death!
- Stories from Beyond the Grave (1972)
In the catacombs, five people enter a room whose door closes behind them. To the visitors, knowing that all harbor dark intentions, the guardian of the crypt asks the question: "What are your plans for the future when you leave?" Between a murderess engaged with a psychopathic Santa Claus, the owner punished by the ghost of the old man he will have dislodged, the businessman trapped by three wishes, a road accident called upon to relive the same situation and the director of an institute for the blind confronted with the anger of his residents, each one tests the monster which hides in him.
- Asylum (1972)
In order to obtain a position of responsibility in a reputable psychiatric asylum, Robert Martin submits to a particular passage examination: among the patients of the establishment, he must discover who is Doctor Starr, one of its two directors. A madman among madmen now. And each of the patients to tell him his terrifying story...
- The Vault of Terror (1973)
First blocked in the elevator of a building in London, five strangers then find themselves prisoners in his library. What better way to kill time than to tell the other about your worst nightmare? For one, it's being handed over to a band of vampires. For the other, freak of cleanliness, it is to be killed by his young wife pushed to the limit… It is up to everyone to relive… their own death!
- Madhouse (1974)
The famous horror film actor, Paul Toombes, known in particular for his interpretation of Dr Death, is struck by a nervous breakdown while traveling to England to film a new series. It is then that the various actors and members of the technical staff of this series begin to die, in a way very analogous to those in which the characters of the films of Dr. Death died.
