I've always liked this low-key, stylized, resourceful exercise in suspense and horror from Amicus Films, Hammer's rival during the golden age of British horror films. After watching it today for the first time in years, I appreciate it all the more. It's an even better film than I thought it was. The level of craftsmanship and storytelling is extremely high. Sound effects are noteworthy. The cast has fun with it, and I enjoy their enjoyment. A vital contributor to the success of the film is the unorthodox organ and percussion score by Michael Dress, about whom I know absolutely nothing. Did he compose any other scores. To the best of my knowledge, this score has never been on LP or CD. I think it would hold up well apart from the film. Intrada might want to look into the possibility of releasing this horror score.

Great idea! Everything from the Horror British Movies is always welcome. I watched THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD at the theater when I was a child. I don't remember the music by Mr. Dress, but the film scared me to death  Maybe this makes you dream... ........... |
