"Nightmarish Terror…Reeling and Leering!" -Variety This triple treat of terror is a three-episode "blood-dripping package that includes murder, necrophilia, dementia, live burials, open tombs, exhumation, resurrection, zombies and feline vengeance," resulting in nothing less than "juicy entertainment" and "spine-chilling cinema" (
Cue). Mix in three of horrordom's greatest villains, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone, and you've got a shocker you dare not to watch alone!
Price stars in all three episodes, including
Morella, in which a man is haunted after blaming his young daughter for the death of his wife. In
The Black Cat, a pair of illicit lovers are buried alive by a jealous husband, and in
The Case Of M. Valdemar, a sorcerer's spell backfires when he sentences an innocent man to living hell.
