    Nathaniel Hawthorne's tales of terror translate to the big screen as well as anything Poe ever penned. Its a pleasure, as always, to watch Vincent Price (the master) showcase his talent for the genre, but its also a treat to see Sebastian Cabot (aka. Mr. French) strut his stuff ...( read more)outside his usual 'butler' typecasting.

    Just like Tales of Terror, Twice-Told Tales is an entertaining trilogy of short stories, this time based on the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Still cheesy, but also still quite well-made. Great fun for genre fans.

    Released in Italy as 'L'esperimento del Dr. Zagros' it's one of my dreams. I want to see it in italian language but it's impossible to find a tape elsewhere. N.Hawthorne wrote some great fantastic stories and i'm sure Vincent's perfomance it's a boss. OK, i will wait some more ...( read more)time, otherwise i'll order it in Usa...Roderick Usher (secretary of V.P. fan club) he promised me a 'pit and pendulum' torture if i can't provide a copy of this movie!!!

    Classic Vincent Price, although I enjoyed the two bookend tales more than the middle one.
