The Skull (1965)
An effective psychological horror about the innate fear of madness and possession by evil influences. Freddie Francis directs a highly atmospheric voyage into madness. Cushing is fantastic and once again his partnership with Christopher Lee is a memorable one. The two really were great together and even though Lee is not in a whole lot of the film, every moment he was onscreen he was magnetic. The flick is paced wonderfully, lightning fast, and is just plain fun.

We weren't lucky enough to read much of Robert Bloch's books or stories here but this movie also gave me the pleasure of remembering some good times of our school days. One of my very good friends...Tanvir, used to write comics & stories at a popular children magazine and once he wrote a supernatural story about a human skull (titled: The Death Skull), that has an extra eye hole in its forehead! The Skull comes from an unknown origin & people (whoever possess it) starts to die in a gruesome fashion.
....humm, that boy was a genius.:cool:
