The Haunted House of Horror (1969) is a mess, but that's not surprising considering the fact that the script was hacked about whilst the film was being shot and another director brought in to shoot clumsily edited additional scenes.
The Beast in the Cellar (1971) is a very tedious film about a mad chap locked up by his sisters (played in thankless roles by Flora Robson and Beryl Reid) who escapes to kill some squaddies.
The direction is dull, the horror nonexistent, and the script is full of acres of excruciatingly dull expository dialogue; the final coffessional scene goes on forever and not even a skilled actress like Beryl Reid can do anything with it.

Strangely enough, Flynn has warmer chemistry and a saucier repartee with Flora Robson's virgin queen, Elizabeth I—even in scenes where they're competing with a "cute" monkey that doesn't so much upstage them as pad out the screen time.
As long as his scenes were about sports and boyish lust, Flynn didn't need to be much of an actor; he could coast on his good diction, looks, and charm.
