"The Haunted Strangler" makes great use of memory - specifically the look of horror frozen on a victim's face - and it's nice to see a physically grotesque Karloff without the monster makeup (though the obvious joke is that he's just making fun of retarded kids).
"Corridors of Blood" is trickier, better shot, and more enjoyable - Christopher Lee presides over the rest of the actors like Zeus from on high. It also manages to be a movie about addiction without just being a movie about addiction.
Anyway, here's a Marvel frame from box set artist Darwyn Cooke for everyone's half-assed Friday:
