Dr Terror's House of Horrors is a 1965 British anthology horror film directed by Freddie Francis and produced by Amicus Productions. It was the first horror film from Amicus and the first in a series of distinctive anthology (or 'portmanteau') films by the company. The film comprises five segments and a wraparound, with a cast featuring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Max Adrian, Ann Bell, Michael Gough, Neil McCallum, Jennifer Jayne, Bernard Lee, Donald Sutherland, and Roy Castle. The musical score was composed by Elisabeth Lutyens. Dr Terror's House of Horrors was released by Regal Films International on February 28, 1965. Five men, one by one, enter a train compartment in a London station bound for the town of Bradley, and are joined by a sixth, the mysterious Doctor Schreck (German for "terror"). During the journey, the doctor opens his pack of Tarot cards (which he calls his "House of Horrors") and proceeds to reveal the destinies of each of the travellers. This provides the framework to tell five horror stories. Architect Jim Dawson returns to his old family home in the Hebrides to make renovations for the new owner, Mrs. Biddulph. Biddulph explains she bought the secluded house to help her recover from the death of her husband, to whose memory she would like to dedicate a newly enlarged room as a museum.
