4. Alan "Fluff" Freeman - Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors
The rickety train carriage that formed the setting for Amicus horror anthology Dr Terror's House Of Horrors contained a raft of British acting talent. For starters, you had Peter Cushing as the title character, and Christopher Lee as a bewildered passenger. That's gruesome gold from the get go! A young Donald Sutherland joined the fright-based fun, alongside Neil McCallum and variety performer Roy Castle. Castle was a peculiar selection for sure, and seeing this sprightly trumpet player come up against the power of voodoo only boosted the bizarre nature of his story. However the movie had an even bigger credulity-stretching ace up its sleeve, in the shape of DJ Alan Freeman. Yes, the man nicknamed "Fluff" from the BBC wound up battling a killer plant! If Freeman had possessed hidden depths when it came to performance it would have helped. But he didn't. In fact he spent much of the time looking bemused. Why wouldn't he, some might ask? All part of the sheer entertainment value of the studio's definitive shocker, yet a stake through the heart of its dramatic credentials...
