Another of Roger Corman's classic Poe films. While the first half an hour is a little long to watch, the rest of the film builds into a macabre and mad piece of horror. It's twisted and devilishly creepy. What I found amazing about this flick is the amazing and colorful sets. And good old Vincent Price is fiendishly unnerving as ever in this pic. And while maybe not equal to Corman's later Poe film The Raven (1963), which was much more amusing rather than scary, this film sticks well to the scary Edgar Allan Poe tone.
