Halloween Horrors - 1977's The Talons of Weng-Chiang is a truly creepy Victorian Gothic adventure set in the Holmesian world of a dark shadowy London where girls go missing and tales of giant creatures roam the sewers.

Scariest of all was Mr. Sin. A 'Peking homonculous' with the cerebral cortex of a pig disguised as a murderous music hall dummy.
