Condemned warlock Joseph Curwen curses a New England village just before being burned alive. More than a century later, Curwen's kindly great-great-grandson Charles Ward (also Price) arrives in town and moves into Curwen's old mansion. Caretaker Simon Orne helps Charles and his wife Ann adjust to their new home. The ancient curse, however, takes hold of Joseph, awakening inside him a long-dormant evil passed on through blood.

3.5/4

Though a fine movie in its own right, The Haunted Palace feels a bit too familiar for its own good at times.

[NEW 2024 REVIEW] Slack storytelling and an unsatisfying ending make this the weakest picture in the Poe-Corman-Price series.

8/10

The apex of Corman's skill for reworking AIP's standing Gothic sets to get the maximum possible bang for his buck.

68/100

Corman's widescreen framing, the blazing Technicolor photography, and the effectively maximized production values created a convincing, if twisted, world.
