The Haunted Palace (1963)



Very spooky! The script is certainly gripping with fantastic set designs: ground fogs, creepy castles with creaking gates and secret doorways, deformed town folks, loud thunderstorms...fantastic camera works nicely captures those nightmarish scenery and reflects the menacing suspense right onto the screen. Between the darkly macabre and an innocent naivety, Price handles his dual role brilliantly. Anne (Ward's wife) portrayed by beautiful Debra Paget and the woman played Curwen's mistress added a minimal but seductive tone in the film.
