	Amicus Productions - SCIFIPEDIA
		Amicus Productions was a purveyor of cinematic horror in the 1960s and '70s, and Britain’s only serious rival to Hammer Films, whose personnel (for example, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, directors Freddie Francis and Roy Ward Baker) it borrowed on a regular basis.
		Amicus later became the first studio permitted by publisher William M. Gaines to film stories from the eponymous E.C. horror comics of the 1950s in Francis’s Tales from the Crypt (1972) and Baker’s The Vault of Horror (1973).
		Amicus was in fact disintegrating as the Burroughs films were being made; Subotsky left the company in 1975, after Land was completed, and the company was officially dissolved even before People was released by AIP.

	Amicus: The Studio that Dripped Blood
		From the early 60’s through the mid 70’s, Amicus produced films were giving their British counterpart, Hammer Studios, a run for their money in the production of top-notch sci-fi and horror films.
		Amicus films covered a little bit of everything, sci-fi, horror, psychological thrillers and fantasies and regardless if critics sang a film’s praises or not, the film-going public seemed to clamor for anything associated with Amicus.
		Amicus hit the mark right on with this 1972 film and in my opinion, it's the anthology that all others can only be compared to.

	About Pax Amicus
		The actual structure of what would become Pax Amicus Castle Theatre originated as a simple cinder-block box building constructed in the late 1940s as a synagogue that stood on the shore of scenic Budd Lake in northwest Morris County, NJ's largest natural spring-fed lake.
		Pax Amicus, with its home theatre in a former country Presbyterian church in nearby Flanders, purchased the building late in 1977 to serve primarily as a home for its extremely popular Theatre for Children.
		In 1990, Pax Amicus acquired the beach property directly across the Castle, merged adjacent properties to guarantee that the Castle and its surrounding land would remain accessible to the general public.

	About Pax Amicus
		Pax Amicus was first founded in 1970 on the belief that the arts can be a nurturing vehicle for peace and friendship.
		The actual Pax Amicus Castle Theater stands majestically on the shores of scenic Budd Lake in northwestern New Jersey (about an hour west of New York City) and produces a full year-round season of Broadway and off-Broadway revivals, professional productions of Shakespeare's plays for students, and a season of Theatre for Children.
		The Pax Amicus Castle Theater is also home to Castle Shakespeare Repertory Company, founded in 1995 by Stan Barber as a professional company of actors to present the plays of the world's master playwright to students during the school day.

		The two men founded Amicus Productions in 1962 and relocated to England, where the available talent pool of actors, writers and technicians and the tax incentives for independent producers, provided a fertile climate.
		Amicus ("friendship" in Latin) became, along with A.I.P., Hammer Films and Tigon, one of the most consistently successful producers of horror films throughout the 1960’s and into the 70’s.
		Amicus continued successfully into the 1970’s after several of its compatriots had gone into decline, putting out entertaining fantasy films such as AT THE EARTH’S CORE (screening on August 8th at the Egyptian Theatre in a new 35 mm.

	Vault of Horror
		Amicus is primarily known for its anthologies or “portmanteau” movies, each movie consisting of four to five short segments connected by a frame story.
		The result was a mixed bag in terms of quality, a nightmare for Amicus, and the source of much undue confusion and controversy.
		However, according to Allan Bryce’s Amicus: The Studio that Dripped Blood, E.C. owner Bill Gaines was so highly critical of Vault that plans for follow-up films such as Tales of the Incredible, The Haunt of Fear, and More Tales from the Crypt were dropped.

	Las Vegas City Life
		When movie fans think of English horror films, most get as far as Hammer Studios, the once-lowly production company that struck gold in the late 1950s when they unleashed a stream of films that delivered as much gratuitous violence and sex as they could sneak past the censors.
		The Hammer franchise was an immense success that thrived for nearly three decades, and it inspired other stiff-upper-lip Brit filmmakers to bring a certain understated tact to the seemingly tawdry genre of horror.
		It -- like other Amicus productions -- is a sly collection of short stories created to deliver mini-shocks with their ironic, O. Henry-like endings.

	Yoo Who
		It was the first of two movies produced in the mid-'60s by Amicus Productions based on the popular BBC television science fantasy adventure series, Doctor Who.
		And it's obvious that they enjoyed working on this movie with their costars, and are proud of the work they did, even though they both went on to act in other movies and on the stage.
		Amicus was a rather low budget production company, and probably didn't impress the BBC enough to release the complete rights to their hit series.

	TV Cream's A-Z of films
		The man who was, to a great extent, Amicus personified, was much-villified exploitation king Milton Subotsky, who founded the studio with Max Rosenberg at the end of the 1950s.
		The awkward, bookish Subotsky had been the producer of various rock 'n' roll cash-in films just previous, and indeed Amicus' first production was the parody-proof romp It's Trad, Dad, very much a fag-end product of the '50s, which saw the likes of Chubby Checker and Del Shannon rubbing shoulders with Acker Bilk and Arthur Mullard.
		Amicus, however, stayed true to the horror and fantasy genres, and came up with the Edgar Rice Burroughs-inspired, Doug McClure-starring Land That Time Forgot, following swiftly with the massively similar At the Earth's Core and The People That Time Forgot.

		Amicus rose to the occasion putting out a series of worthwhile horror films that continue to work well because of the strong casting and interesting scripts/direction on the films.
		I thought the script was written well, and the production values very strong...the period pieces and costumes worked wonderfully in creating a sense of the time the story was meant to take place.
		It is a fine example of 1970's horror filmmaking from England's prolific Amicus Productions which during this period were the main rivals to Hammer in the field of horror.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- ASYLUM
		ASYLUM ($20) is another great little horror anthology from Amicus Productions- Hammer’s chief horror rival during the 1960s and 1970s.
		The image is generally sharp and nicely defined for an early seventies production.
		ASYLUM is Amicus horror anthology gem that genre fans will want to snap up, thanks to Dark Sky’s great little presentation and cool extras.

	Torture Garden
		Another outstanding anthology horror film from Amicus, "Torture Garden" is set in a carnival's house of horrors where host Burgess Meredith has invited a few unlucky characters to discover their fate, by looking into the shears held by a life-like manikin.
		Like all great Amicus productions, this benefits from an outstanding screenplay: This one by "Psycho" author Robert Bloch.
		While not as classic as Amicus' "Tales From the Crypt" or "Asylum," this is still a very solid anthology horror film, with great performances and a playful, sinister edge.

	Tigon British Film Productions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tigon British Film Productions was a film production and distribution company founded by Tony Tenser in 1966.
		Tigon was based in Wardour Street, London, and released a wide range of films from semi-pornographic sexploitation films through to an acclaimed 1971 adaptation of August Strindberg's Miss Julie, starring Helen Mirren.
		The largest part of their output, however, was made up by low-budget horror films in a similar style to those made by Hammer Film Productions or Amicus Productions.

		Amicus cofounder Max Rosenberg(who looks like he's about 110), Amicus(and Hammer) directors Freddie Francis and Roy Ward Baker are interviewed to talk a bit about working for Amicus.

	Dr. Terror's House of Horrors
		American writer/producer Milton Subotsky was certainly a firm believer in the format, being a big admirer of Ealing's Dead of Night, and once he founded Amicus Productions with Max J. Rosenberg, he set out to revive the format.
		They secured the services of Hammer's biggest stars, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, as well as the participation of one of their better directors, ex-cinematographer Freddie Francis, and the rest, as they say, is history.
		Paramount released this film - along with a number of other Amicus titles - back in the 60s, but it would seem that they allowed their rights to expire as it's popped up on various labels throughout the 80s and 90s.

	Robert Bloch -- Interviews
		Max was equally conversant with the genre, but devoted most of his time to production and distribution problems.
		The result certainly disappointed me, and I'm told it disappointed Milton and Max, too, but when they returned the production was ready to roll and it was too late to return to the original screenplay.
		I came down from Milwaukee every week in the winter of 1945 when we were in production, huddling with the crew, making on-the-spot changes, okaying or suggesting music-over for the organist, and making a general nuisance of myself as I learned the ropes.

	Monsters At Play: The Beast Must Die Review
		This Amicus title was a break of sorts from their successful anthology format.
		As is the case with most Amicus productions, the cast is superior.
		There are also three Amicus trailers, including the fun “Beast” ad with the tantalizing “werewolf break,” a still gallery, bios for Annett and the cast and liner notes.

	The Fear Factory - Horror Movies
		Hammer Films will always be the most famous British production company, but its less known brother, Amicus, arguably made just as enjoyable horror with a modern setting rather than Hammer’s gothic obsession.
		But Amicus is not as English as it would seem on the surface, as behind it were two Americans.
		Max was born in New York City in 1914 and was a lawyer until he became a distributor of foreign films in 1939.

	The Monster Club (1980)
		Together with partner Max J. Rosenberg, Milton Subotsky founded Amicus Productions in the early 1960s and they became the most successful of the companies exploiting the Anglo-horror cycle created by Hammer.
		Amicus produced a number of horror anthologies during the 1960s and 70s, including Dr Terror's House of Horrors (1964), Torture Garden (1967), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Asylum (1972), Tales from the Crypt (1972), The Vault of Horror (1973) and From Beyond the Grave (1973).
		While the other Amicus anthologies played themselves seriously, the tone here is jokey and in-referential - there is for example a vampire filmmaker named Lintom Butosky (an anagram for Milton Subotsky).

	Movie - SKULL, THE
		The main difference with Amicus is that, for the most part, they relocated them to the present day, as was the case with The Skull.
		A previous Francis work, the Hammer production The Evil of Frankenstein (1963), was notable for featuring a lengthy flashback sequence, recording the fate of an earlier experiment by the title character (Peter Cushing), that was completely devoid of dialogue.
		Also important are the editing by Amicus in-house editor Oswald Hafenrichter (Vengeance 1962), and the minimalist but very effective art direction, both of which underline the sense of isolation and confusion felt by Cushing.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT (1977)
		The second of the three Amicus Burroughs films, AT THE EARTH'S CORE, is not a sequel or connected directly to either TIME FORGOT film, but is based instead on Burrough's first Pellucidar novel of the same name.
		The costume design by Brenda Dabbs and the production design by Maurice Carter (who also worked on the previous Amicus films) are very both good.
		Personally, I consider it the weakest of the three films, but there is a lot to like here too and it's a worthy way to wrap up the Amicus Burroughs ‘trilogy.' PEOPLE is a good old fashioned B-movie adventure of the kind they just don't seem to make any more.

	View From The Couch: View from the Couch: Film: Creative Loafing Charlotte
		Amicus' productions often lacked the atmosphere and production values that distinguished the Hammer line, but they were rarely less than entertaining, bolstered by impressive casts and ghoulish plotlines straight out of a vintage EC Comics title.
		Although Amicus was largely known for horror anthology films like The House That Dripped Blood and Tales From the Crypt, Asylum is the only multistory film included in this batch of DVD releases.
		Saddled during production with the even worse title I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream, this is a fairly involving drama, set in 1795 England, about a bride (Stephanie Beacham) who moves into her husband's (Ian Ogilvy) family home and gets raped by a vengeful spirit.
