I love this movie, especially "The Cloak" segment. Perfect Halloween movie!

This is highly enjoyable. The first segment is a bit meh, but each segment is better than the last. It's very classic for the style of Amicus Productions, who were a sort of rival to hammer. Some solid writing from Robert Bloch (Psycho) and Russ Jones (Creepy magazine). Great cast, too.
In my world, this counts as a "cozy" horror movie. Fun to put on while you do stuff and let it wash over you as it is consistently watchable but hardly demands your undivided attention.
