The Haunted Palace (1963)
|
|
| | 86 min.
| | Directed by Roger Corman.
| | With Vincent Price, Debra Paget, Lon Chaney Jr., Leo Gordon, Frank Maxwell, Elisha Cook, John Dierkes, Milton Parsons.
| | Based on H. P. Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter, this Corman-helmed Vincent vehicle is an efficient piece of classic horror storytelling.
A couple (Price, Paget) visit the coastal town of Arkham where Price is o'ertaken by the evil spirit of a deceased ancestral warlock!
As with nearly all of Corman's exemplary Poe adaptations, Palace exhibits surprisingly solid production standards, expert narrative and good performances.
Excellent fare for either a rainy Sunday afternoon or your own private Vincent Price retrospective!
