Brilliant collage of horror tales, it's like you're reading Poe's stories. All the stars are magnificient. The last story is especially realistic and creepy. I loved this movie.
Another MGM release of one of the Poe/Corman trilogies, except there is a very high level of comedy in one, and the other two employing Vincent Price in his very best (and in one, moustacheless) players to push the Poe. Other cast members include Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre... I got mine, Have you watched a Vincent Price film today? Gorewhore Out.
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.
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.
Great movie with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre. It was great to see Vincent Price in "The Black Cat" as a prissy pre-Frasier Crane wine tasting expert!
