Gallery of Horror stars John Carradine as actor and narrator. His introductions to five short horror stories are very intriguing and full of interesting information about ancient peoples and their beliefs in witches, vampires, warlocks, werewolves, zombies, and monsters in general. At first it seems like a B-movie, and probably it is, but as you watch the movie over and over again it gets more cohesive and interesting as you pick up on all the little details. It features 60’s/70’s garb and old school horror special effects like paintings for castles. The first short story is about an ancient witch come back to life and an enchanted clock. The second is about a master vampire who, through raw intelligence, has survived modern vampire hunts. The third is about a betrayed mad scientist’s revenge on his wife and her lover. The forth stars Lon Chaney Jr. and is about a modern day Frankenstein experiment that backfires badly. The fifth is about Count Dracula himself, and his minions. All and all it’s old school creepy and gets better and better the more you watch it.
