FILM 1485: THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED
BLOOD
TRIVIA: Horror movie star Paul
Henderson (Jon Pertwee)
says that he misses the "old," "great" horror movies, and
mentions Dracula (1931). He then
adds: "the one with Bela Lugosi
of course, not this new fellow," obviously referring to Christopher Lee, who
played John Reid in the film.
The classical music that Philip
Grayson (Peter Cushing) listens to
at the beginning of the "Waxworks" segment is the first movement
("Allegro")of the Franz Schubert String Quartet No. 14 in D minor,
nicknamed "Death and the Maiden."
Among the photographs in the frame
of Paul Henderson's mirror is one of Jon Pertwee driving
"Bessie," the car he drove as the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). When
Pertwee made this film, he was still playing the Doctor.
When Paul Henderson (Jon Pertwee) examines his
prop cloak late in the film, the tag on it reads "Property of Shepperton
Studios." Shepperton Studios is where the film was actually produced.
