Rob LambHOST
Australian-born composer whose other credits include 1960s Horror Hotel.
Rob LambHOST
the 1972 Amicus Tales from the Crypt, 73's The Vault of Horror, 74's Madhouse, From Beyond the Grave, and The Beast Must Die, as well as The Land That Time Forgot.
Rob LambHOST
So I would say effective horror score here on the more traditional sort of, you know, hammer horror format.
Rob LambHOST
Cool.
OctoberHOST
Here's two movies that are kind of similar.
OctoberHOST
We have 1973's Theater of Blood and 1974's Madhouse.
OctoberHOST
In Theater of Blood, Vincent Price is...
OctoberHOST
A famous horror stage actor and a lot of murders end up happening kind of similar to plays that he's been in and things that he likes.
OctoberHOST
And Madhouse is the same thing, except it's a horror movie guy and he has like a skeleton face or something.
OctoberHOST
um these movies are very similar in plot but different in quality different in caliber i gave 1973's theater of blood a 41 and 1974's madhouse a 33. i just think theater of blood felt like a much more complete movie and especially having seen theater of blood by the time i watched madhouse i just felt like madhouse was a lesser version of something that was a pretty strong movie Madhouse may have had some more blood, or blood, bells and whistles, but Theater of Blood had more blood and whistles, I guess.
GregHOST
It was a good movie, though.
OctoberHOST
And finally, closing out the prelude, I just wanted to give a shout-out since I'm just running through stuff I've seen.
JeffHOST
yeah for sure um cool so My recommendation this week is I'm going to go with a Vincent Price movie.
JeffHOST
As I gushed about Vincent Price earlier, I have tons of Vincent Price recommendations, but I think one of the underrated Vincent Price hits is Madhouse from 1974.
JeffHOST
Madhouse is directed by Jim Clark and it stars Vincent Price and Peter Cushing.
JeffHOST
So I don't know if I need to sell you any harder on that recommendation.
JeffHOST
Peter Cushing is probably my favorite – actually, he is my favorite horror actor next to Vincent Price.
GeorgeHOST
I think the last time I would go watch this, I look forward on streaming and I ended up coming across the the Italian
JeffHOST
Oh, yeah, yeah, the 80s.
GeorgeHOST
Yeah, Madhouse, and ended up watching that instead.
ZachHOST
You know what's funny? The year after this, I feel like it's a similar kind of movie.
ZachHOST
I think it's Madman or Madhouse where he's an old horror actor that starts going on a killing spree.
ZachHOST
Yeah, Madhouse.
ZachHOST
It's 1974.
ZachHOST
The year after, he was like, I'm going to do it again, kind of.
ZachHOST
Well, was
ChrisHOST
it for the American audience or the UK audience? Because I think when this probably came out, this is geared towards more of the British audience and probably didn't do so well in America because they're like, what is this?
ZachHOST
I just know because Madhouse came up.
