(Blu-ray, Shout! Factory)
A young man travels to a desolate mansion to find his fiance. However, her brother, Vincent Price, tells him she is going insane and refuses to let him see her, much less marry her. The young man manages to bully his way into the house and convince the girl to run away with him and start a new life. Her brother has other ideas and will resort to extreme means to keep her from leaving. The first entry in the famous 8-film Corman Poe Cycle is one of the best. Colorful sets and moody atmosphere elevated the Gothic melodrama to new heights and firmly entrenched Vincent Price as a horror icon.
