What happens

Tales That Witness Madness is a 1973 British anthology horror film directed by Freddie Francis and starring Donald Pleasence, Joan Collins, Kim Novak and Jack Hawkins. It was written by actress Jennifer Jayne (as Jay Fairbank) and produced by Norman Priggen. The film was one of several in a series of anthology films made during the 1960s and 1970s which included Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), Torture Garden (1967), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Asylum (1972), Tales from the Crypt (1972), The Vault of Horror (1973) and From Beyond the Grave (1974). These portmanteau horror films were all produced by Amicus Productions. Tales That Witness Madness is sometimes mistaken for an Amicus production; however, it was actually produced by World Film Services. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
