For some reason I couldn’t find a color still of this. Oh well.

We went back to basics for the next film, the Roger Corman Poe film Tales of Terror. One of the chapters sort of field tested the comic tone a few of the following movies adopted, such as The Raven. Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone….it’s really good.

    It is all fun and games in a pie fight until you lose a private eye.

    'The Case of M. Valdemar' by Nathanial Hawthorne right? Love that one, the idea of being 'dead' but unable to die is creepy as hell to me.

    BTW on vacation/holiday. Just spent lunch on the beach eating a pound of steamed peel-em yourself shrimp while reading a story about Deep Ones.

    There's some sort of weird symmetry there but I'm not sure I want to know what it is…..

    Well as long as you're not vacationing in lovely Innsmouth, where, as the tourist brochures promise, you can find "a love that will last for millennia…"

    I did have a waitress with the most beautiful green eyes the size of ping-pong balls….

    You were probably confusing this movie with Twice-Told Tales, a similar Price anthology film made around the same time, which was based on Hawthorne.
