That was an excellent one.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This show is so funny and well written.The jokes are so obviously but the audiences don't actually expect them thus resulting in laughter once said, one that would stick with me is 'I kicked her head in...the fire'This is one of Steve Coogans best bits.Like many other TV shows however, it has its bad bits, but the hilarity of the show and the plots will let make you forget about that in no time soon!At least give it a try, it's like one of those things which you need to watch, just to say you have seen a classic piece of comedy, especially because of Coogan in his prime!

I know this show wasn't very popular, but I really enjoyed this series. I can see the problems people had with it, but to me they are far outweighed by the good parts.It was a little uneven but many of the parodies were spot on and there were several hilarious lines that have stuck with me such as the dancer with the murderous voodoo feet saying "It's my feet... they're killing me!"If you are on the fence about this show, don't watch the first episode. It is easily the weakest. Start with the Sherlock Holmes-ish episode or the aforementioned Voodoo Feet of Death. Give it a try, this show has many positives and if you enjoy it half as much as I did, it will be worth your time.

Great stuff. The parodies are spot on, and with a class cast, this makes for a far more subtle vignette than can be seen at first glance. If you are an 'appreciater' of the late 60s, early 70s Hammer films (often with either Mr Lee or Mr Cushing), you should find much in this to enjoy. Of course Steve Coogan hams it up, but why else are you watching it? It's a little telling when you realise that it's no less ridiculous than the films it is sending up, and Dr Terrible is always a source of mirth.I have not seen all the episodes, but the ones I have often encapsulate a whole sub-genre within the horror theme. There is only the one series, and it is a shame the BBC (once more) didn't have strength of character enough to commission more.The title tells it all - and the series lives up to it admirably. It's the sort of thing you will like, if you like this sort of thing.

Dr Terribles house of Horrible is a clever pastiche of tacky seventies horror movies. Each episode is introduced by the same character, the bald headed Dr Terrible, and the stories evolve from there. Steve Coogan plays the main character in each one.Especially memorable is the Fu Manchu spoof and the spoof of the early seventies horror movies, such as Tales from the Crypt, where several characters would tell a tale of doom.Coogan fans watched expecting Alan Partridge. To fans of horror this will be appreciated.
