Amicus Productions Returns!

Yes, you read that right!

After 30 years Amicus Productions is rising from the grave with a brand new production, a new anthology film called “In The Grip Of Terror”

The original Amicus was ran 1962 and ran until 1977 and released great titles such as “Tales From The Crypt”, “The House That Dripped Blood”, “Asylum”, “Madhouse” “Dr. Terror’s House Of Horrors” and more. These films starred a lot of legendary actors such as Sir Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Peter Cushing, Britt Ekland and Vincent Price.

In collaboration with the family of the original Amicus co-founder Milton Subotsky, President Lawrie Brewster has revealed that “In the Grip Of Terror” will collect inspiration from the likes of H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, and E.F Benson to tell four chilling tales. He also says:

“Our aim is to re-establish Amicus Productions as a beacon of independent British horror,” Lawrie Brewster says. “We’re concocting a film that captures the essence and panache that rendered the studio iconic. By emphasizing atmospheric storytelling, tangible effects, and a genuine respect for the genre, our vision is to teleport audiences back to British horror’s golden epoch. This venture transcends mere studio revival — it’s a renaissance of passion, a tribute to a rich legacy, and testament to indie cinema’s prowess.”

Brewster also delved into the deep-rooted involvement of the Subotsky family in the project. “The title “In the Grip Of Terror” was generously shared with me by Sergei Subotsky, derived from a list of potential titles his late father, Milton Subotsky, had curated decades ago. It feels profoundly fitting that we’re expanding upon the imaginative groundwork set by such a visionary. What’s even more fascinating is that three of the four stories we’re adapting were suggested by Milton’s widow and Sergei’s mother, Dr. Fiona Subotsky.

To help with the revival of the iconic company a crowdfunding campaign is being launched on September 12th to let fans get involved and help push the film over the edge. If this is something you seem interested in then click on the link HERE.
