Not a Poe adaption this time but a Lovecraft one, The Haunted Palace is one of my favorite Corman/Price movies. The atmosphere, story and performances are all fantastic. Recommended for genre fans!
Another great Vincemt Price Horror Ole School Video. As Most of his others its outstanding. Glad he wasn't my creepy Grandpa. Add to your collection, you will be happy.
Marvelous exercise in Grand Guignol, great sets, spooky atmosphere, fine screenplay by scenarist Charles Beaumont based on H.P. Lovecraft's The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and a splendid two-tiered performance by Vincent Price.
1 of my fav horrors with the master vincent price at work.how horrors shd be made ... classic
Corman tries to pass this off as Poe but it's not nearly as successful as other Price teamings. Maybe I was hoping for a little more of Vincent's ham on a man who is battling possessions from a distant relative.
