Re: A Return To 70s Hammer/Amicus mayhem..
1. Yes, our Joanie in Tales that Witness Madness from 1973. That story was, indeed, silly, though I do quite like the one about the boy and his imaginary tiger.
2. No, not a Frankenstein. Hint: Joanna Lumley's character was featured in a film from the previous year where she was played by a different actress.
3. Yes, Theatre of Blood. Price really hammed it up in this one and I have to admit that the manner of Robert Morley's character's death disturbed me somewhat.
4. Yes, The Sorcerers with the great Boris Karloff. I am glad he managed to make this one and Targets at the end of his career to show just how good he was to 60s audiences.
5. No, not Quatermass. Hint: Though a Hammer, the film has a connection to several of the later Carry Ons.
6. Yes, Twisted Nerve. I saw it only once on British TV in the 70s and am unclear if it has been screened since. The makers were forced to include a disclaimer that there was no link between Down Syndrome and anti-social behaviour.
