Product Description :
Masters of terror Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are both at their spine-chilling best in this grisly Gothic tale of the macabre, inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe story. In shadow-shrouded Victorian England, Sir Julian Markham (Price) is a landowner hiding a terrible family secret, while Dr Neuhartt (Lee) is a surgeon carrying out dreadful experiments upon stolen cadavers. When their disparate destinies entwine – and a mysterious murderer in a red mask begins a mission of vengeance – a series of brazen, bloody atrocities ensue. Actors and crew that worked on the horror classic Witchfinder General were brought together again for this stylishly shot, fast paced slice of Grand Guignol – featuring customarily powerful performances from its charismatic cast. Special Features • Presented in High Definition • Audio commentary by film historian Steve Haberman (2022) • Interview with Victoria Price (2024): the daughter of the legendary Vincent Price recalls the period in his career when he starred in The Oblong Box • The Pit (1962, 27 mins): experimental gothic short, adapted from Edgar Allen Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum • The Bells (1913, 14 mins): a poignant poem by Edgar Allan Poe underpins this rare short silent film which tells a melodramatic tale of love and death • Prelude (1927, 7 mins): Rachmaninoff's wonderfully disturbing ‘Prelude in C Sharp Minor’ sets the tone for Castleton Knight's silent, nightmarish reverie on Poe's The Premature Burial • Roger Corman on Edgar Allen Poe (2013, 9 mins): the legendary director and producer discusses his Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, including The Pit and the Pendulum and The Masque of the Red Death • Original trailer • Optional English descriptive subtitles • **FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet featuring a new writing by Peter Fuller and Benjamin Halligan
