The Haunted Palace

In this chilling adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward’, Charles Dexter Ward (Vincent Price) travels with his wife Ann (Debra Paget) to Arkham to inspect a mansion he has inherited.

The original lord of the manor was his Great Grandfather Joseph Curwen, a disciple of the devil, who placed a hideous curse on the villages as they burned him at the stake. Slowly Ward feels the spirit of his ancestor possessing him and seeking a desperate vengeance on the descendants of those who previously thwarted his plans. Accursed mutants….evil possession…will anyone escape ‘The Haunted Place’?

Critic Reviews:

• " An elegance that unites Lovecraft with Poe, also marking it with Vincent Price's marvelous composition. " – Alberto Abuín

• " The apex of Corman's skill for reworking AIP's standing Gothic sets to get the maximum possible bang for his buck. " – Tim Brayton

• " A terrific, atmospheric little spooker. " – Staci Layne Wilson
