More of a detective story than horror, the powerless police turn to amateurs to do what amounts to very basic police work. One of the police officers is played by Wayne Rogers of M*A*S*H fame. I thought this was a Vincent Price film, having a very Theater of Blood, House of Wax kind of title. But I think I was confusing it with The Haunted Palace.
Chamber of Horrors is a good looking, well executed, but fairly forgettable film. The investigation needed to be more inventive or the horror elements more horrible. An end scene hinted at a sequel or TV pilot but nothing came of it. What amounts to a fairly pedestrian horror film may have been a bit too suggestive for 60’s television. Hey, at least he waited until after the ceremony before asserting his conjugal rights. AMRU 3.
