Amicus Productions

Amicus Productions is a British film production company, based at Shepperton Studios, England. It was founded by American producer and screenwriter Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg. Amicus's first two films were musicals for the teenage market, It's Trad, Dad! (1962) and Just for Fun (1963). Prior to Amicus being created the two producers collaborated on the 1960 horror film The City of the Dead, and Amicus went on to make a series of portmanteau horror anthologies, inspired by the Ealing Studios film Dead of Night. They also made some straight thriller films, often based on a gimmicky idea.

Amicus's horror and thriller films are sometimes mistaken for the output of the better-known Hammer Film Productions, to which they are similar in visual style and with which they share many stars, including Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Unlike the period Gothic Hammer films, Amicus productions were usually set in the present day (as Vincent Price's character says in The Monster Club, this means a "lower budget").
