was this Amicus's final Film?


They made some good films, especially the anthology productions.

Yes, it was. From 1965-1974, Amicus was KING. They produced some of the best horror anthologies in the history of the genre. Quality movies with great atmosphere, top notch acting and unpredictable twist endings. The Monster Club (1980) WAS an end of an era. They had a good run though.

Not officially an Amicus film, as Milton Subotsky & Max Rosenberg went their separate ways about 3 years earlier (during the making of THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT,if I'm not mistaken). But it is the work of Milton Subotsky, who loved anthology horror films. I believe he also made THE UNCANNY a couple years before this. Very much in the spirit of Amicus otherwise, and a great companion piece to FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE, as both that and THE MONSTER CLUB were based on stories by the same writer.

profh-1 is correct. This is not an Amicus film. The Uncanny and The Monster Club were two films written by Milton Subotsky after he and Max Rosenberg split up Amicus because of financial disputes (Subotsky says in an interview that Rosenberg was cheating him and the company).
