This is a weird movie for me. I love it lots but the pace is just so off and it's an odd story all together. This movie uses a lot of sceens from Vincent Price's older movies as he plays an actor called Dr. Death in this movie.

No horrorfest is complete without at least one Vincent Price film. This one is pretty good, though it seems like it's mostly a tribute & send off for Price since it was his last film with American International Pictures where he shot the Poe adaptations with Roger Corman, among other films.
