Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Classics
If you like Vincent Price, you'll love this combo. I am a Poe fan and think Price portrays the exact character Poe imagined. If you like Edgar Allan Poe's poetry and know nothing of Vincent Price, I think you'll be impressed with the representations.
Rating:  - From the king of classic horror...
This double-feature is amazing!
Both movies feature fan-favorite Vincent Price as the star, whether he is playing a menacing widower gone mad, or a menacing older brother attempting to bring justice to his fallen sister.
You'll be lured in by the great acting skills of Price and the classic tales of Poe don't ever lose their charm either.
Movies might be a bit long, so book a whole night in front of the television-it'll be worth it!
Rating: - "Naraka, Gehenna, the Pit! ....and the Pendulum...
the razor's edge of destiny" is what the AIP Poe based film the Pit and the Pendulum is - a combination of good writing (Matheson) good art direction, good acting (Price; Steele; Carbone - I don't believe I said that) and believe it or not good direction (Corman). Price was at his best in this role (actually two roles) and Karen Steele the Horror Scream Queen never looked finer. I was very surprised at Carbone in this as I had only seen him in a couple of very low budget pics and I never thought ... Read More
Rating: - This is sooooooooooooo Vincent Price!
Nobody can do and will ever do Edgar Allan Poe like Vincent Price can!
He is classically immortal and still has the most beautiful smile in hollywood.
This is the best set I have ever seen. I can't wait to get a copy of the Raven
as well. I highly recommend! Two thumbs way way up! It's excellent!
Rating: - Good Halloween movies
I ordered these around Halloween. I was looking for Vincent Price movies, and this combination really fit the bill!
