Amicus Productions Skull 1962 Tapestry

Founded in 1962, Amicus Productions was a small-budget film production company, based out of Shepperton Studios in England. It was founded by American screenwriters Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg, who moved production to the UK to reduce costs. They started off making rock ‘n roll musicals, but soon found success with a horror anthology film called Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors. It proved to be a successful formula that they would return to, again and again, whenever in need of a success. Between 1962 and 1977, Amicus released 28 films, the bulk of them being horror, but also had several science fiction and traditional thriller titles in the mix.
