    All things considered...a very polished looking film. Based on the short story by Edgar Allan Poe.

    Vincent Price is delightfully morose as poor Verden Fell. A widower who (along with his new bride) is haunted by the memory(?) of his deceased(?) wife.

    One of the better Cor...( read more)man films in my opinion. Full of creepy fun, cheap scares and over the top acting.

    Oh and an omnipresent "FLYING" cat...can't forget the omnipresent flying cat!

    Very creepy adaptation of Poe's poem by Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price as a man tormented by his dead wife. A lot of what you;d expect from a Corman/Poe film (stylish though low budget), but with some great thrills.

    Price was just too old, but he still put in some good work.
