Mystery Horror Theatre Presents: Torture Garden (1967)

This is a 1967 British anthology horror film directed by Freddie Francis and starring Burgess Meredith, Jack Palance, Michael Ripper, Beverly Adams, Peter Cushing, Maurice Denham, Ursula Howells, Michael Bryant and Barbara Ewing. The score was a collaboration between Hammer horror regulars James Bernard and Don Banks.
Five people visit a fairground sideshow run by showman Dr. Diabolo. Having shown them a handful of haunted house-style attractions, he promises them a genuinely scary experience if they will pay extra. Their curiosity gets the better of them, and the small crowd follows him behind a curtain, where they each view their fate through the shears of an effigy of the female deity Atropos.
Segments:
In "Enoch", a greedy playboy takes advantage of his dying uncle, and falls under the spell of a man-eating cat.
In "Terror Over Hollywood", a Hollywood starlet discovers her co-stars are androids.
In "Mr. Steinway", a possessed Bechstein grand piano by the name of Euterpe becomes jealous of its owner's new lover and takes revenge.
In "The Man Who Collected Poe", a Poe collector murders another collector over a collectable he refuses to show him, only to find it is Edgar Allan Poe himself (Hedger Wallace).
