Milton Subotsky, a major British filmmaker, joined with
Max Rosenberg in 1962 to form Amicus
Productions to produce low- to medium-budget horror and anthology films
(they also formed Cinerama Releasing in 1966), usually shot in England
and Scotland. These included
The House That Dripped Blood (1971),
Scream and Scream Again (1970),
And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973),
the Roy Ward Baker horror films
Tales from the Crypt (1972)
and
The Vault of Horror (1973)
and Oliver Stone's first feature
film, Seizure (1974). Both Subotsky and
Rosenberg got help from
Samuel Z. Arkoff and
James H. Nicholson in releasing the
British films worldwide. After Cinerama Releasing folded and went out
of business due to the lack of British investment in 1975, Rosenberg
and Subotsky went their separate ways. Rosenberg rarely continued with
filmmaking, but Subotsky kept his hand in American horror films,
helping to bring a number of
Stephen King's novels to the screen
up. He died in 1991 of heart disease.
