New to the site and my first post on the forums so "Hello" and thanks in advance for any help. I'm trying to find the title of what I think was a british horror anthology from the 60s but more likely the 70s and which I can only remember vague parts of one of the stories.

An american(I think) is driving through the english countryside and takes a wrong turn through a conveniant fog bank and finds himself in what appears to be a deserted village. I think he finds a girl who trys to make him leave saying that it is not safe and is then attacked by the rest of the village who are either vampires or cannibals. He manages to escape but then returns to try and rescue the girl who I think turns out to be a baddy after all.

I thought the american might have been played by Jack Palance but I think I was getting mixed up with Torture Garden.

Anyone have any ideas?

This is the 1980 offering The Monster Club. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081178/ The qAmerican was played by Stuart Whitman.

A great anthology featuring music from The Pretty Things amongst others and a "stripper" who takes off more than you would expect (shame it wasn't Barbara Kellerman doing the striptease.....)

yes I remember that film and Im sure I recall Stuart Whitman in another horror film where he is imprisoned in a cellar by a middle aged woman.....can't recall the title but Im sure that was British as well.

Stuart has appeared in 181 films....

I loved the monster club great film

A horror film made in the 1970's, I think, in which a 17th century village springs up Brigadoon-like and modern day visitors who happen across the place can't ever seem to leave. Being the 17th century there is also, if my memory serves, some recourse to burning heaving bosomed beauties at the stake for being witches. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

Sounds like the final segment of "Monster Club" where an American film director stumbles into a 17th century village inhabited by ghouls.

Good film!

Isn't this the one with Stuart Whitman.

When the king's off his arse nobody sleeps!

Yes it is. Stuart Whitman plays a film producer who when looking for a location for a new horror film, stumbles upon the village. Vincent Price (who else!) was also in it as well. The film is called "The Monster Club" released about 1982 if memory serves correct.

Time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man...

Grey Wyler

Sounds a bit like the final story in The Monster Club.

lostintown
