Tales of Terror

About This Movie

Tales of Terror is one of those Roger Corman flicks that knows how to blend genres. Adapted from Poe, it’s got this quirky mix of comedy and horror that really sets it apart. The performances are solid, especially Vincent Price, who brings a unique charm to the eerie vibe. The stories themselves are a bit uneven, but they each have that classic Corman low-budget flair, with practical effects that are charmingly rough around the edges. The pacing kind of rolls along, making it feel like a light romp through some dark themes. It’s not just about scares; it digs into guilt and obsession, all wrapped up in a cozy anthology format. Definitely a fun watch for those who appreciate the gothic and the quirky.

Released by American International Pictures · Features three distinct Poe adaptations · Vincent Price stars in all segments · Runtime: 102 minutes
