ASYLUM

"Asylum" (aka "House of Crazies") was a 1972 United Kingdom anthology horror movie made by Amicus Productions. The movie was directed by Roy Ward Baker and produced by Milton Subotsky. Robert Bloch wrote the script, adapting four of his own short stories. "Asylum" tells the story of when a young psychiatrist interviews four inmates in a mental asylum to satisfy a requirement for employment. The stories: Frozen Fear: Bonnie recounts the plot to murder Ruth, the wealthy and controlling wife of her lover Walter. Some moments before being killed, Ruth explains her recent infatuation for voodoo The Weird Tailor: Bruno is found quietly sitting and sewing with empty hands in his room. He explains he is a tailor by trade, and recounts how poverty and impending eviction forced him to accept the unusual request of a Mr Smith, to produce an elaborate suit of clothing from a mysterious, scintillating fabric that must be sewn only after midnight Lucy Comes To Stay: Barbara, a pretty but distracted-looking girl in her early twenties. She asks if Doctor Martin is a lawyer, since she insists that the crimes that led her to be held in the asylum were not committed by her, but instead Lucy Mannequins of Horror: Initially elated by the chance to speak with a new colleague, Byron explains that he has become interested in a new direction of research, which involves the assembly of small dolls said to contain all organs and abilities of a human body.
