Summaries

Series of half hour parodies of British horror films of the 60s and 70s.

"Dr Terrible's House of Horrible" is a satirical UK comedy horror anthology series created by Graham Duff, who co-wrote the series with Steve Coogan. BBC Two broadcast the series in 2001. The title parodies Amicus Productions' anthology film "Dr Terror's House of Horrors" (1965). Coogan presents each episode as Doctor Terrible, and plays various roles throughout. The show spoofs the UK horror films of Amicus Productions, Hammer Film Productions, and Tigon British Film Productions, and most particularly, such noted 1970s anthology series as Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected and Thriller, with Amicus films, both series utilising different, well-known ensemble casts in each story.—The Professor
