"Keep that beast away from me or I'll kick his head in!"AKA Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Terror. Poe's Tales of Terror.
Three Edgar Allen Poe stories adapted by Corman. Firstly, 'Morella', where a man and his daughter are reunited, long after the death of his wife. Then 'The Black Cat'; a drunkard who has to contend with a meddlesome cat and a lack of money for wine. He meets a local wine expert and his troubles really start. And finally 'The Case of M. Valdemar'. A dying man is hypnotized at the moment of death, and although the body dies, his brain is still controlled by the hypnotist.
A sterling cast including Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone make this an entertaining horror. The Black Cat sequence was revamped and recycled a year later as the Comedy Of Terrors, with the same cast, just switched around a bit.
