Starring : Vincent Price,Mark Damon,Myrna Fahey,Harry Ellerbe
Good old haunted-house horror from frequent collaborators Roger Corman and
Vincent Price. Mark Damon's hapless visitor to the titular house finds a
brother (Price) and sister (Myrna Fahey) in failing health, all while the house
seems to crumble around them. It's hot gruel all around as Damon tries to
nurse the girl -- his wannabe bride -- back to health, but the cursed house
will have none of it. Filled with ineffective fright gags (shock cut to... an
empty bed!), the Poe-inspired source material occasionally rises above the
Corman-fueled production.
