Old amicus and hammer films make me think there was a wax museum with a chamber of horrors on every corner. #frightclub #thehousethatdrippedblood

Oh yeah, he was also in “Invasion of the Dinosaurs” in 1974 as General Finch

A man in the brown uniform of a general in the British army. His cap and collar have red trim and there’s brass ornament all over it. He has a tidy mustache

Rolling #thehousethatdrippedblood for #frightclub A familiar face right off the bat! John Bennett as Det. Inspector Holloway. I know him from #DoctorWho, in yellowface as Li H’sen Chang in Talons of Weng-Chiang from 1977.
