Neglected Paris set shocker with Lee the director of a theatre at the heart of grisly death. Strikingly stylish and marvelously macabre British gem. 1966. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

The Awful Dr. Orloff. 1962. Outstanding Spanish shocker that rightly put Franco on the map. Visually stunning, dark and deliciously lurid. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #spanishhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #jessfranco #film
