Milton Subotsky (September 27, 1921 – June 27, 1991) was an American film and television writer and producer. In 1964, he founded Amicus Productions with Max J. Rosenberg. Amicus means "friendship" in Latin. Together, they produced a number of low-budget science fiction and horror films in the United Kingdom.
Subotsky was born in New York City, to a family of Jewish immigrants. During World War II, he served in the Signal Corps, in which he wrote and edited technical training films. After the war, he started a career as a writer and producer during the 1950s "Golden Age" of television. In 1954, he wrote and produced the TV series Junior Science. He graduated to film in 1956, producing Rock, Rock, Rock, for which he also composed nine songs. In 1960, Subotsky moved to England; he produced his first horror film, Horror Hotel, at Shepperton Studios. He was a regular juror on Juke Box Jury on BBC Television in the early 1960s.
In 1964, with fellow expatriate producer Max J. Rosenberg, Subotsky formed the company Amicus Productions. Based at Shepperton Studios, they produced such cult classic films as Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1964), Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965), Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (1966), Torture Garden (1967), Scream and Scream Again (1970), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Tales from The Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), From Beyond the Grave (1973) and The Land That Time Forgot (1974).
The City of the Dead (U.S. title: Horror Hotel) is a 1960 horror film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and starring Christopher Lee and Valentine Dyall. Produced in England but set in America, the British actors were required to speak with American accents throughout.
On the recommendation of her professor (Christopher Lee), a young female student (Venetia Stevenson) travels to the fictional Massachusetts town of Whitewood to do some research into witchcraft. She finds the town occupied by the reincarnation of an infamous witch (Patricia Jessel) who was burned at the stake in the 17th century. To sustain her immortality, virgins must be sacrificed to the witch every year – and this year, the student is the chosen victim.

"Stop The Music" Subotsky Milton - Westlake Gerald Clive. I took my baby to dance tonight. And when we danced , I held her oh so tight. Then she wanted candy from the candy store.

They Came from Beyond Space is a 1967 British Eastman Color science fiction film directed by Freddie Francis, written by Milton Subotsky and based on the book The Gods Hate Kansas by Joseph Millard. It was produced by Amicus Productions. The production came after Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (1966) and used many of the sets and props from the former film as a cost-cutting measure. It stars Robert Hutton, Jennifer Jayne and Zia Mohyeddin. When meteors fall in a curious V-formation and crash on a field in England, an alien force possesses several scientists and infects bystanders with a deadly disease. Shielded from the meteor's influence by a metal plate in his head, Dr. Curtis Temple (Robert Hutton) discovers that an alien race on the moon seeks to use the manipulated scientists for...

Having played Frankenstein’s Monster, Count Dracula and The Mummy for Hammer, this new picture would allow him to extend his range to the American Gothic – and witchcraft in a small New England village… Lee plays Professor Driscoll, an authority on the occult who persuades one of his students (Venetia Stevenson) to research his hometown, Whitewood, once the site of witch burnings in the 17th century. Booking herself into the Raven’s Inn, she soon learns that devil worship among the locals hasn’t been consigned to the past. Produced by future Amicus founders Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg, and beautifully shot ...
George Baxt scripted this extraordinarily good chiller from a story by Milton Subotsky, who also co-produced. A college student (Venetia Stevenson) with an interest in witchcraft goes to the Massachusetts town of Whitewood. It's a foggy, spooky town which gets even scarier when Stevenson discovers that the owner of the Raven's Inn, Mrs. Newlis (Patricia Jessel) is in fact a 268-year old witch. Jessel sold her soul to the Devil to regain her life after being burned at the stake. The whole town is her coven, including Stevenson's kindly history professor (Christopher Lee). Stevenson's boyfriend and brother arrive to look for her and discover human sacrifices and all sorts of evil goings-on. One of the few horror films of the period which still has the power to frighten, Horror Hotel is requi...
One half of the partnership behind the company that produced the only competition to the Hammer Films crown, AMICUS FILMS. Along with his producer writer partner, Milton Subotsky Rosenberg produced a stream of successful portmanteau style horror films, from the mid 1960's until the acrimonious breakdown of the Amicus partnership in the mid 1970's . Beginning with Dr Terror's House of Horrors with an all star cast including Peter Cushing, the Amicus catalogue boasted titles like, Torture Garden with Cushing, Jack Palance and Burgess Meredith, Tales from the Crypt with again Cushing, Joan Collins and Sir Ralph Richardson. During this interview Rosenberg speaks extensively about 'The House That Dripped Blood' which included both Cushing and Christopher Lee. This is one of the few interviews w...

A great twenty minute documentary on the story of Amicus films, the many actors and crews who worked on their classic British Horror films, and what gave the company it's special Amicus -style. There are interviews with directors Freddie Francis and Roy Ward Baker, and one half of the partnership, of Subotsky and Rosenberg. Max Rosenberg does an interesting turn on taking most of the credit here, in Milton Subotsky's absence. The documentary follows the company's involvement from the providing of the 'kick-start' of putting Hammer films on the 'horror trail', to their own big successes, and up until the final fall out between the two founders, Subotsky and Rosenberg.

The spooky "House That Dripped Blood" in the film of the same name from Amicus Productions, was a real building. But Brian McFadden, author of "Amicus Horrors, Tales from the Filmmaker's Crypt," explains how movie magic was used to make the house look even creepier than it did in real life. McFadden was there with Amicus co-founder Milton Subotsky more than 40 years ago.
