Another classic Poe tale told by the great Roger Corman.
This one is chock full of suspense, great gothic films sets, fantastic costumes and yet another truly unforgettable performance by Vincent Price as Nicholas Medina.
Corman’s best Poe film. And the amazing pendulum sequence at the end is fantastic. Also Les Baxter’s music score is a fave of mine.
