In 1964 Tubby appeared in the movie "Dr Terror's House of horrors" in which Roy Castle played the part of a trumpeter put under a curse for having stolen music from a voodoo ceremony. In 1965 CBS issued the faux horror hokum, "Dr Terror's House Of Horrors" on 7", although the song had no real connection to the movie, other than the title. This was arranged by Kenny Napper and features Tubby on flute. The b-side, "Voodoo Girl" is much better. Written by Tubby, this had originally appeared in the movie as an instrumental (with Roy miming to the trumpet work of Shake Keane).
In mid 2009, Simon Spillett, who is overseeing the recently unearthed Tubby Hayes archive found the reels of the original session for the Voodoo scene. The tracks were remastered, and a very limited 7" EP was issued by Trunk Records in 2009...
