    Music-horror compilation formed by three segments with a fine cast giving nice performances

    Another melange terror movie , being pretty good , and freely based on comic books , produced by Amicus : Max Rosenberg , Milton Subotsky . A classic terror movie formed by various segments well realized and magnificently played . Typical horror film financed by Amicus with a great British cast and formed by episodes full of creepy events , chills, thrills , gore and guts . A vampire (Vincent Price) invites his favorite horror author to a nightclub for monsters and shares three stories to inspire his next book : In first segment titled "Shadmock Story" , a con artist couple (Barbara Kellerman, Simon Ward) suffers the consequences when they try to take advantage of a suspicious recluse , who is sensitive about his monstrous pedigree . In second episode titled "Vampire Story" a rare stranger tricks a bullied kid into endangering his vampire father (Richard Johnson) and beloved mother (Britt Ekland) . In third segment titled "Humgoo Story" a film director (Stuart Whitman) looking for the perfect location to shoot a terror film stumbles upon a village populated by monsters led by a weird innkeeper (Patrick Magee). You'll meet some interesting people and hear some great songs at The Monster Club ¡ .

    Great cast as Vincent Price and John Carradine star this ordinary antology picture in which a writer of horror stories nicely played by John Carradine is invited to a "monster club" by a mysterious old gentleman ironically performed by Vincent Price . Amicus last portmanteau movie that simply slaps down its thrilling and terrifying tales , butressing with dreary slabs of plot and chatter, concluding into eerie results . Formed by three segments , all of them are filled with mystery , suspense , terror , grisly killings , twisted events and horrible happenings . The British star-studded results to be pretty good with a plethora of notorious actors such as : Barbara Kellerman , Simon Ward , Geoffrey Bayldon, Donald Pleasence , Britt Ekland , Anthony Valentine , Neil McCarthy , Stuart Whitman , Lesley Dunlop , Patrick Magee , among others . There , at a discoteque in which music bands are performing songs take place the meeting between Vincent Price and John Carradine , subsequently three gruesome stories are told ; between each story some musicians play their songs . Featuring songs by Night B.A. Robertson , The Pretty Things and the Viewers . And soundtrack music by John Williams , UB 40 , and The Expressos . Each story harbours an ingeniously creepy and ghoulish conceit and at the end each tale takes place a grand guignol climax.

    The motion picture was professionally directed by the British horrormeister Roy Ward Baker, though another terror specialist director, Freddie Francis, was the original choice to shot. However the movie never secured theatrical distribution in the US instead the movie was sold for regional television and in the UK , the picture attained a limited theatrical release . In ¨Monster Club¨ Roy Ward Baker emphasising the frightening , dramatic and suspenseful possibilities . Being final theatrical film of director Roy Ward Baker . Roy directed a great number of films . During World War II, he worked in the Army Kinematograph Unit under Eric Ambler, a writer and film producer, who, after the war, gave Baker his first opportunity to direct a film, The October Man (1947). He then went to Hollywood in 1952 and stayed for seven years, returning to Britain in 1958, when he directed one of his best films, A night to remember (1958) . During the 1960s and 1970s , Baker directed a number of horror films for Hammer and Amicus. He also directed in British television, especially during the latter part of his career . Deemed to be a terror expert, as proved in The monster club , Mask of death , And now the screaming starts, The legend of the 7 gold vampire s, Asylum , Dr Jekill and his sister Hyde , The scars of Dracula , The vampire lovers, The anniversary . Roy Baker also directed some Hollywood fims such as : Inferno, House in the square, A night to remember, Don't bother to knock, and Night with sleep . Rating : acceptable and passable. 6/10. Worthwhile watching.

    Dig it, sucka

    I love this movie. When I began renting exclusively horror movies in the late eighties I'd rent movies like The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula and Monster Club and The House That Dripped Blood... and eventually I realized they were all by the same director, Roy Ward Baker. What stands out in his fillms to me is the colors. He goes for some really bold color choices. Monster Club is a funny movie. The musical interludes betw2een the vignettes are pretty damn snappy f you've heard them a hundred times, and I have. The stories are good. The dippy costumes are effective and fun. I saw it hosted by Elvira Mistress of the Dark and that made a lot of difference but it's a good movie with or without her breastesses.

    Monster Fun.

    In a misjudged attempt to move with the times, British studio Amicus punctuated the three short stories of their final film, The Monster Club, with musical numbers from a variety of new-wave/rock acts, including B.A. Robertson and The Pretty Things. These daft interludes, which see the bands singing their songs in their entirety (and which come complete with a ridiculous rubber-masked monster audience) spoil what is otherwise a very effective horror anthology.

    The film starts with a wraparound story in which popular horror author R.Chetwynd-Hayes (John Carradine) is fed upon by thirsty vampire Eramus (Vincent Price), who thanks his victim by taking him to The Monster Club, a members-only establishment where monsters go to drink and be entertained. There, the writer hears three tales guaranteed to chill the blood...

    Tale one: A pair of con-artists plan to steal a valuable collection of antiquities from a lonely weirdo who turns out to be a Shadmock, a strange creature with a deadly whistle. A touching tale with a tragic ending, helped by a strong performance from James Laurenson as the lovelorn Shadmock.

    Tale two: The B-squad are a special branch of the police dedicated to hunting vampires. Unaware that his own father is one of the undead, awkward loner Lintom Busotsky (Warren Saire) unwittingly leads the chief of the B-squad (Donald Pleasence) to his home. A wonderfully tongue-in-cheek story with great performances from both Saire and Pleasence, this proves to be a lot of fun, a jaunty Transylvanian folk violin score adding tremendously to the enjoyment factor.

    Tale three: horror director Sam (Stuart Whitman) scouts a location for his new movie, unaware that the rural village is home to flesh-eating ghouls. Director Roy Ward Baker definitely saves the best for last, this memorable final segment oozing atmosphere and dripping with tension. Whitman does a cracking job and the final 'twist' is a corker.

    7/10 for the three stories, minus one point for the terrible scenes that take place within The Monster Club.

    Monsters Rule, OK!

    Fun horror anthology film from producer Milton Subotsky, who produced similar pictures for Amicus in the 1960s and 70s. It's directed by Roy Ward Baker, who also directed some of those previous anthologies. There are three stories here plus a wraparound segment that connects everything. The first story is about a shadmock (don't ask). It's an ok segment with a standout sympathetic performance from James Laurenson. The second story is about a vampire hunter (Donald Pleasence) targeting the father of a bullied boy. It's a decent story with a goofy ending. The third story is the best. It's about a move director (Stuart Whitman) who finds himself trapped in a town full of ghouls while scouting for a filming location. This is the only story that feels like it could have been its own movie. The wraparound segments feature Vincent Price as a vampire who takes famed horror writer John Carradine to the titular club where monsters hang out and dance to early 80s rock bands. Super cheesy but also loads of fun.

    All in all this isn't as good as many of the older horror anthology films but it's all very charming and innocent fun. Hardcore horror nuts will likely hate it for not being serious or gory enough. I think in my initial viewing years ago I was unimpressed but it's grown on me over the years. Give it a shot. The music numbers alone are worth your time.

    This is a must see for fans of the classics

    The Monster Club (1981) is a movie I recently watched off Shudder after seeing it on Into the Darkness (it's also available for free on Tubi). The storyline focuses on a vampire who is a fan of an author's work. He introduces himself to the author, takes him back to a club filled with nothing but monsters and tells him a series of short stories that explains how monsters work. This movie is directed by Roy Ward Baker (Aylumn) and stars Vincent Price (Tingler), John Carradine (Stagecoach), Donald Pleasance (Halloween) and Simon Ward (The Three Musketeers). This movie is definitely a little bit cheesy in the interactions and songs between scenes, but is still fun in a nostalgic way. Vincent Price is awesome as you'd expect and there are some great sequences that will make you chuckle. Loved the end of the first story, Donald Pleasance's vampire story and ultimately how the movie ended and depicts humans. Overall, this is a must see for fans of the classics and I'd score it a 6.5/10.

      Artist John Bolton painted the picture of the Shadmock used in the film before the role was even cast. He was genuinely amazed when the film's producers found an actor, James Laurenson, who actually physically resembled the image in the picture.
