Amicus- The House That Dripped Blood, Tales from the Crypt, Asylum, Vault of Horror.
AIP- Pit and the Pendulum, Masque of the Red Death, Scream and Scream Again and Witchfinder General in an uncut version (brutal for a film from 1968!!!)

Also there is my personal fav in Theatre of Blood and a mesmerizing performance from Vincent Price.

As you can see I`m a big fan of Vincent Price and Christopher Lee.
Superb choices here. Love Amicus films (I have the limited 5 disc coffin shaped set 0nly 5,000 made) and theatre of Blood is awesome stuff. you a fan of the director Pete Walker or familiar with his work?

Horror Hospital and Psychomania are another couple of British classics from the 70's although cheesy as hell.
