    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was the second "Amicus" horror film where Peter Cushing played the host in the framework story. The previous film being Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965).
    • Goofs
      The premise of the film is that everyone who cons the antique dealer gets his comeuppance. Although some may believe that Edward should not die because the Proprietor accepts his offer, he is later killed by the mirror demon because he had lied to the Proprietor about the mirror being a reproduction. He still has to pay for his 'sin'.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      The Proprietor: O dear. The love of money is the root of all evil.

      [bell from shop door]

      The Proprietor: Ay, customers, come in, come in. I'm sure I have the very thing to tempt you. Lots of bargains. All tastes catered to. Oh... and a big novelty surprise goes with every purchase. Do come in... any time. I'm always open.

      [closes the "Temptations Limited" shop door, that is etched with the saying, "Offers You Cannot Resist"]

    The Amicus Omnibus Horror Films.
    From Beyond The Grave (1973) was a cool British horror film that I saw when I was younger. Man, I saw a lot of British horror late at night when I was a kid. That's all that would come on. I grew up on these movies. I even watched them as soon as we got a V.C.R. Oh, those were the days. One of my favorite childhood actors was Peter Cushing. The Amicus company was a competitor of long time horror film stalwart Hammer. When Hammer Films was on it's last legs, Amicus picked up the slack for awhile.

    These four tales that the movie adapted were taken from a couple of literary sources. The stories were creepy and it always ended up in an odd way. I wish these films were available on d.v.d. so I could relive my youth. Until they're released in the United States then I'll just have my memories.

    Highly recommended.
