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.

The "Sadian Trilogy"
In 1959 and 1960, Anglo-Amalgamated produced three British horror films which, because of their emphasis on sadism, cruelty and violence, with sexual overtones, were dubbed the "Sadian Trilogy" by film critic David Pirie.
