Milton Subotsky, a prominent figure in the British filmmaking industry, collaborated with Max Rosenberg in 1962 to establish Amicus Productions, a production company dedicated to creating low-to-medium-budget horror and anthology films. This partnership also led to the formation of Cinerama Releasing in 1966, with a primary focus on releasing British films worldwide.
Under the Amicus Productions banner, Subotsky and Rosenberg produced a range of films, including The House That Dripped Blood (1971),Scream and Scream Again (1970),And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973),Tales from the Crypt (1972),The Vault of Horror (1973),and Seizure (1974),directed by Oliver Stone. These films were primarily shot in England and Scotland, showcasing the country's rich cinematic talent.
Throughout their collaboration, Subotsky and Rosenberg received support from renowned industry professionals, including Samuel Z. Arkoff and James H. Nicholson, in releasing their films worldwide.
However, following the collapse of Cinerama Releasing in 1975 due to a lack of British investment, the partnership between Subotsky and Rosenberg came to an end. Rosenberg largely stepped away from the film industry, while Subotsky continued to work in American horror films, playing a significant role in adapting Stephen King's novels for the screen.
Tragically, Milton Subotsky passed away in 1991 due to heart disease, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of British horror cinema.
