Horrors of the Black Museum is a 1959 horror film starring Michael Gough and directed by Arthur Crabtree.
It was the first film in what film critic David Pirie dubbed Anglo-Amalgamated's "Sadian trilogy", with an emphasis on sadism, cruelty and violence (with sexual undertones), in contrast to the supernatural horror of, say, the Hammer films of the same era.
