Madhouse is a 1974 British horror film directed by Jim Clark for Amicus Productions. It stars Vincent Price, Natasha Pyne, Peter Cushing, Robert Quarry, Adrienne Corri and Linda Hayden. Price plays Paul Toombes, a horror actor whose trademark role is 'Dr. Death'. Years after a scandal ends his film career , the embittered Toombes revives his character for a television series. Cast and crew begin to die in ways that suggest scenes from Toombes's films , and they all point to Toombes. Now, Toombes must find and confront the real killer, before he becomes the next victim. Madhouse is very... loosely based on a novel called Devilday by Angus Hall, which bears very little similarity to the finished film. In the novel, the character Paul Toombes is an overweight and dissipated sexual predator, who may very well have murdered his wife. His famous cinematic alter ego is named Dr. Dis, not Dr. Death.
