The Vault of Horror (1973)

In the heart of London's concrete jungle, five strangers find themselves involuntarily journeying into the bowels of a modern office block, their destination: a mysterious sub-basement. As the lift's doors slide open, they're met with an anachronistic sight - a lavishly appointed room that echoes the opulence of an old-world gentlemen's club. With the lift's return button vanished and no other discernible exits, they find themselves trapped within this enigmatic chamber, their only companion - uncertainty. As they settle into their surreal surroundings, drinks in hand and resignation in their hearts, they delve into a peculiar discourse—dreams. More specifically, their recurring nightmares. Each tale unravels into a separate vignette, spiraling the film into a chilling anthology of horror and suspense that finds its roots in the iconic E.C. Comics of the 1950s. "The Vault of Horror" is a film that weaves together five spine-chilling tales, mirroring the comic book format, akin to its cousins, the world-renowned "Tales Of The Crypt" and "The Haunt Of Fear." Each story is a journey into the darkest corners of the psyche, a chilling exploration of dread-filled dreams and haunting nightmares, echoing the eerie essence of its comic book predecessors. With every tale, the film conjures an ominous atmosphere, leaving the viewer teetering on the edge of their seat, ensnared in this captivating labyrinth of horror.
