#Eating eyeballs scene horror movie skin

Highlights include the memorable binocular death and a woman having her head cut off by an axe, but the best death (or tackiest) occurs when the doctor is electrocuted by a bad special effect, then has his skin boiled off and becomes a skeleton! This scene is a piece of classic horror and easily the best moment of the film.

Chief entertainment comes from the series of murders, which, while not explicitly gory like the Friday the 13th films, are however all staged elaborately and decoratively, and also cleverly, with much relish, like the murders in THEATRE OF BLOOD and the PHIBES films (but never so campy!).

With an off beat and clever idea (crime writer commits murder to sell his stories) and a twist monster-on-the-loose ending (with Cohen involved, what else would you expect?), the film never fails to entertain. HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM is a classic example of an early exploitation film, produced by non less than Herman Cohen, responsible for loads of classic films of this type in the late '50s/early '60s. Is it forever Michael Gough's fate to play crippled characters? With his hand-less performance in DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, his wheelchair-bound role in HORROR HOSPITAL, and now this cane-assisted stance in HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM, it seems this unfortunate actor always comes off the worst. 'Horror of the Black Museum' is the weakest of the three but still a terrifically odd and sensational genre highlight. This film was the first entry of a Sadian horror trilogy, the others being the 1960 'Circus of Horrors' and 'Peeping Tom'. His performance is more than decent yet I agree with another reviewer here who already claimed that this role would be even more fit for Vincent Price. The killer here has such a private collection himself which provides the film with a couple of utterly cool gimmicks, like the previously mentioned binoculars, an acid-bath and even a mini-guillotine! Michael Gough is seemly having a great time portraying the cripple cynic Bancroft.

The 'Black Museum' is a technical term to describe the police archive of bizarre and unusual murder weapons that were used in murder cases. The mysterious killer's identity isn't kept secret for long (I even assume it wasn't meant to be a secret) but his/her insane persona is imaginatively deepened. Scotland Yard hasn't got a clue where to begin their investigation and on top of that they're constantly annoyed by the vain columnist and pulp-novelist Ed Bancroft.

The quality-level of this intro naturally can't be held up throughout the entire movie but the script remains involving and surprising enough to keep you amused for a good 80 minutes. A better opening to a colorful horror movie is hard to imagine and you're automatically preparing yourself to see a blackly comical and sadist horror gem. It involves the supposedly third strange and random murder in the London region and shows a poor woman getting her eyes gouged out by a pair of ingeniously spiked binoculars.

The opening sequence is delicious and definitely the best part of the entire movie. 'Horror of the Black Museum' is incredibly dated, unimportant and overly silly but it remains great fun to watch and watch it again.
