It was!

It also featured a spoof of Hammer/AIP's 'The Vampire Lovers' (which starred the delicious Ingrid Pitt).

Asylum - thought this was the best of the lot myself, taken from the novel by Robert Bloch who wrote Psycho. It had a host of stars also

Britt Ekland
Charlotte Rampling
Herbert Lom
Peter Cushing
Barry Morse
Robert Powell
Patrick Magee
Sylvia Syms
Richard Todd

This was an Amicus production and was also made in 1972

'Asylum' is great and I have always been a fan of Robert Powell.

Which is the one with tom baker as an artist who paints portraits and if he destroys them the subject dies. then terps is poured on his own self portrait and kills him.

also whats the one with the guy who dies in a car crash and then goes home as a zombie

also love the monster club one of the last british anthology films from the early 1980s with vincent price and some punk music.

one of the best british horror movie movies of the 1970s is "the man who haunted himself" with roger moore,

The Tom Baker one is Vault of Horror.

It has been shown on Film4 a few times in the last year, so will probably be shown again.

Tales from the Crypt had its moments, but was a bit camp and low budget. Does anyone remember Night Gallery from the seventies? Same sort of thing but a bit more solemn and serious.

'Night Gallery' was a great show by the great Rod Serling. I always remember the one with the painting of death and the one with the killer toupe! 'Thriller' was one of the many great anthology shows that Boris Karloff hosted. If you have not seen that you should definitely check it out.

That's the segment called 'Reflection of Death' in Tales from the Crypt (with Ian Hendry)

I love Karloff's Thriller. I remember two episodes that freaked me out as a kid - The Hungry Glass (with William Shatner and Donna Douglas) and Grim Reaper (again, with a young William Shatner). That episode was centered around a painting of the Grim Reaper.

Ah yes, that last one was the one I was thinking of. The effects were very good if my memory recalls it accurately (last time I saw that episode I was a kid). I probably presumed it was 'Night Gallery' because of the painting but actually I used to remember that Karloff hosted it, then just presumed I was mistaken and it was Serling.

Another great show as 'Colonel March of Scotland Yard'. It was not an anthology show but it was a thriller series which starred Boris Karloff.

'Dark Shadows' was a good Gothic drama show with a soap format (ignore the production eras and flubbed lines) and it marks its 50th anniversary in march of this year, I believe.

I was very little when I first seen this film and was scared shitless by it particularly the Peter Cushing segment where he rises from the grave to take revenge on the bullying neighbour .
Some of the rest of the film is a bit cheesy when viewed today but that segment is really quite good and Peter Cushing's zombie make up still stands the test of time .
