Again I can remember when I first saw this on television as a kid. With Peter Cushing in it, a late Friday night on Channel 4 and a title like "The Beast Must Die" it didn't disappoint. Excellent film.
There was one big flaw with Newcastle's plan. He assembled his list of suspects because each was present at what he determined to be a werewolf attack. But those attacks were all separate incidents, meaning that it could just have easily been that they were *all* werewolves.
He was the main composer of a number of Amicus Horror films (They were Hammer's main competition in the 70's.) I know he scored "Madhouse" with Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Robert Quarry. It's definitely a great opening theme, even though it's wholly inappropriate for a horror movie. The other tracks within the film are also good. I wish this could get an official soundtrack release, even if it was a limited run of 5,000 copies or so.
Reminds one of the GREAT Thad Jones/Mel Lewis what I like to call Global All-star Superband of the late 60s- 70s. Really good UK tacit attributes/hats-off/homages to such.
Awesome film and music, anyone know if douglas gamely did anything else or where to find similar tunes, I wanna be driving around with this on all the time...
