EP 84: Premature Burial in the Haunted Palace

Corman! Poe! Price! Milland?!? Lovecraft?!?

.

Roger Corman laid a foundation for his unexpectedly successful series of films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe with House of Usher in 1960. He put care, thought, and preparation into it, then built from that with future installments.

.

In this month's meeting of the Classic Horrors Club, Jeff and Richard discuss two of the Corman/Poe films from the early 1960s: The Premature Burial (1962) and The Haunted Palace (1963.) Is it a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same?

.

Note: You're invited to hang around after the episode proper to hear an insider's view of the Hollywood strikes. They don't just affect the big-name stars and writers, as independent filmmaker Ansel Faraj (Loon Lake, Todd Tarantula) will tell us...
