Torture Garden was the second anthology film from Amicus, directed by Freddie Francis and starring Burgess Meredith, Jack Palance, Beverly Adams, and Peter Cushing. Burgess Meredith plays Dr. Diabolo, who runs a sideshow at a fair, and after doing his usual routine, he offers five people a unique fright, but only if they pay extra. Behind a curtain, he reveals four of the people’s frightening fates while peering between the shears of Atropos, the goddess of fate and destiny.
