'Haunted House of Horror' (1969) – Michael Armstrong.

Michael Armstrong's enjoyably Scooby Dude sixties slasher is a delightfully chintzy, dazzlingly polka-dotty 60s terror time capsule! While the cliche-clotted text is creakier than an armadillo's codpiece the splashy kills are agreeably lurid, and the conspicuously hip Carnaby Street schmutter is a deliciously dayglo delight! Haunted House of Horror's highlights are pretty, Jill Haworth's heroically voluminous blonde barnet, Julian Barnes's hilariously comatose acting skills and, Reg Tisley's fantastically groovy theme!
