I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I struggled through 100 minutes of this camply surreal pseudo-horror exercise. Vincent Price - I don't recall him playing a vampire ever before (or since) snacks on an old gent (John Carradine) he meets on the street. By way of payment, he invites hi ... m back to the "Monster Club" where he hears three stories that baffle and bewilder in equal measure, but scare not a jot - including a man who can whistle you to death. Each story has an intermission from the house band - who regale us with songs that give double-entendre a whole new meaning and make "Rocky Horror" sound like Ivor Novello! Price features only sparingly - more of a narrator than an actor and Barbara Kellerman and Anthony Steel really ought to have known better...
