Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1960s and 1970s, Amicus Films was one of the main rivals to Hammer in the horror stakes. But rather than copy the castles and cobwebs of Hammer Gothic, Amicus carved out a niche for itself by producing a series of 'portmanteau' or anthology films, which encased a handful of short horror stories within a 'wraparound' narrative. Bruce Hallenbeck examines the history of the anthology film as well as providing a detailed run-down of the significant contribution that Amicus made to this unique sub-genre of horror cinema.
