Roy Ward Baker, 1972
Typical fair to middling mid-70's horror anthology. Plusses include a stronger framing story than most (in fact, the framing story eventually morphs into the fourth tale), a solid ending, and Peter Cushing's herculean efforts trying to salvage his story. Minuses include a general dullness and apparent lack of enthusiasm, a ridiculously stupid penultimate murder, and the horribly overbearing and inappropriate use of Mussorgsky in place of an actual score.
4/10
