The Raven is jus mad funny. From beginning to end it’s entertaining. Seeing Vincent Price team with Peter Lorre and fight against Boris Karloff is jus awesome. Tales of Terror delivers with terrifying and sum fucked up stories. The last 2 are my favorite. Peter Lorre as the crazy drunk is great. “I’m genuinely dedicated to your destruction.” Masque of the Red Death is another great more symbolic and conscious film, like the story it’s based on. Vincent Price knows how to play the asshole well. I like how Roger Corman and the others who worked on the film took a short Edgar Allen Poe story and jus ran wild with it. Adding Beautiful women, violence, and comedy into it.

James meant all the films Roger Corman directed, produced, or wrote. Some of films he worked on he went un-credited also.

Lovecraft’s ‘The Case of Charles Dexter Ward’. As you might say, “I guess saying it was based off of Poe’s work gave it more marquee appeal.”

It actually spooked me quite abit!

P. Lovecrafts The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
It’s just meaningful in a way that it makes Haunted Palace the first Lovecraft film adaptation (instead of Die, Monster, Die! wich also starred a very old Boris Karloff). And I do mean meaningful in a way that it interest me as a huge horror film/Lovecraft fan.
