Gallery of Horror, a very low-rent horror anthology from the ’60s, got mentioned the other day, and yep, it’s on Amazon Prime. The stories tend to have ‘shocking’ twist endings, which ain’t that shocking. Basically it’s like if Eerie Publications actually tried to make comics like Creepy that were less reliant on gore, but proved to lack the chops. Still, they hired the aging John Carradine and Lon Chaney Jr. to appear in the film, so that’s fun (and sad at the same time, although both would do worse).
Originally the film was called Dr. Terror’s Gallery of Horrors (man, that’s some primo poster art), but shockingly the makers of the, ahem, slightly superior Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors took issue, forcing a title change.
