Dr Terrible's House of Horrible

2001 · 1 season

A wickedly silly send-up of vintage British horror, full of hammy performances and affectionate pastiche that keeps you grinning.

Overview: Dr Terrible's House of Horrible is a satirical British comedy-horror anthology series created by Graham Duff, who co-wrote the series with Steve Coogan.

Coogan presents each episode as the titular Dr Terrible, and plays the lead in each story.
