The Bank Holiday Horror Film

on BBC Two England

Jack Palance , Burgess Meredith Beverly Adams , Peter Cushing star in Torture Garden
Five visitors to a carnival are dared by the sinister Dr Diabolo to enter his inner sanctum where he promises them a horrific glimpse of what the future has in store for them - if they permit the evil in their nature to rule their lives. This spine-chilling study of Gothic horror features a starstudded cast - as well as a special, spectral guest appearance by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe.
