Plot:
When you've got Vincent Price, Basil Rathbone, and Peter Lorre all in the same movie, how can you go wrong? Tales of Terror is a trio of Edgar Allen Poe stories, starring three of horror's grea...( read more

The splendid triad Price, Lorre and Rathbone star this fun anthology loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, all segments have the presence of ravishing women, and also a camp, silly but delightful parodic tone. you won't be scared, but you'll have a tremendous blast.
I've said this a 100 times. Vincent Price was NOT scary. More goofy looking, which was perceived as creep in circa 1952.
This gets five stars for the middle segment with Peter Lorre as a murderous drunk cuckold and Vincent Price as the foppish dandy he decides to kill. That Roger Corman sure knew how to make 'em.
Fun and entertaining Corman/Price fare. Great lighting (thanks Mario Bava!!!) and imagery. Vincent Price is his usual great self as always. If you can appreciate a good, classic, atmospheric period horror flick this may be the trick. If you're an Edgar Allen Poe enthusiast you might be gravely disappointed. It's more fun than scary or creepy but definitely not a bad watch.
A great anthology film, the Rathbone segment is a little lacklustre by Corman standards but the comedy pairing of Price and Lorre in 'The Black Cat' more than makes up for this.
