"Inspired by the black humour-filled E.C. comics of the 50's, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors was to set off Amicus' long-standing obsession with making horror anthologies. It was a successful formula as long as most of the stories in them were entertaining. You were always going to get some clunkers but with the array of acting talent that Amicus managed to get to appear in small roles, it was a price worth paying... Dr. Terror's House of Horrors has dated quite a bit by now and as a result, it's not going to keep you up at night. But with some great performances by THE best actors this genre has to offer as well as one or two unnerving moments, you can do no harm by having your fortune read by the doc." - Andrew Smith, Daily Dead
