beautiful young wife to claim the inheritance of Curwen's castle.The spirit of Curwen begins to possess him".The
Haunted Palace" is actually based on H.P.Lovecraft's story.The film relies heavily on Gothic atmosphere with plenty
of fantastic,cobwebby and shadowy sets.Price is amazing in the dual role and Curwen is one of his most despicable
characters.The film offers some creepy scenes and is simply great.Give it a look.9 out of 10.
