The House That Dripped Blood is a 1971 British horror anthology film directed by Peter Duffell and distributed by Amicus Productions. It stars Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Nyree Dawn Porter, Denholm Elliott, and Jon Pertwee. The film is a collection of four short stories, all originally written and subsequently scripted by Robert Bloch, linked by the protagonist of each story's association with the eponymous building. The film carries the tagline "TERROR waits for you in every room in The House That Dripped Blood."
Shortly after renting an old country house, film star Paul Henderson mysteriously disappears and Inspector Holloway (John Bennett) from Scotland Yard is called to investigate. Inquiring at the local police station, Holloway is told some of the house's history. He then contacts the estate agent (John Bryans) renting the house, who elaborates further by telling Holloway about its previous tenants.
A hack writer of horror stories (Denholm Elliott) moves into the house with his wife (Joanna Dunham) and is haunted by visions of Dominic (Tom Adams), the murderous, psychopathic central character of his latest novel.
Its another late night, you might be wondering what’s this package you received
You don’t know how you got it….
But on the front it says ‘give to Stephanie’
I talked to you a couple times while all the other boys were inebriated
The blue glow of the screen shines your pretty face where Im fixated
Do you feel your ears keep ringing when the night finally ends…
Like a bell. Very soon I will see you again.
They’ve fallen in love with you,
Cause your smile shines right through every crowd that you’re in.
I can’t help but to notice you, It feels just so hard to avoid…
The dimples in your chin formed a song that I finally had to sing
The ovals in your eyes waste me more than all the shots that you might bring.
Yes they did.
The practice my patience when I saw you at foundation that a clue
Too loud for conversation so I’ll maybe hope to see you at Whole Foods
As for now this song is the best I could do to get through to you
Through the frowns and the smoke babe I think you’re the truth..
They’ve fallen in love with you,
Cause your smile shines right through every crowd that you’re in.
I can’t help but to notice you, and I feel it’s so hard to avoid…
And I know that I’ve eyes on you
Best thing is that you don’t know who
I promise that you won’t be dissapointed
I Just want to hang out with you
