This is an awesome Edgar Allen Poe double feature. The Pit & The Pendulum has always been my favorite Vincent Price movie. A man arrives at the castle demanding to see his sister, but is told by both her husband & her doctor that she died a mysterious death. Price plays the part of the husband, and claims that his father was insane & killed his mother when he caught her cheating with his brother. This was done in his torture chamber in the basement where the bodies remained. Little by little, Price becomes posessed by his late father, and ... well, you'll just have to watch the movie to enjoy the twist at the end. In tacky 60's style, The Fall of the House of Usher is about a desperate man who visits his fiance at her spooky home with her crazy brother (Vincent Price) who won't let the couple be together due to the strange family illness which claimed the lives of all other Usher relatives who were, of course, buried in the basement. These are both excellent movies, but I rated them GOOD due to bad acting, which actually give the old movies their sense of character.Read full review
Just as good as I remember from my childhood. Vincent Price at his best. If you enjoy a good old fashioned horror flick, without the slasher effects in the new movies than you would enjoy these. Vincent Price could read the alphabet and with that voice of his send chills down your spine. They are both very good B movies, not alot of fxs, they were not high budget movies, but they are very enjoyable. Saturday night, lights out and a bowl of popcorn. Sounds good to me.
Simply one of the best twofers of Vincents!

When I was younger, I didn't appreciate the masters in the movie industry. Bogart, Bacall, Price, Karloff, Hope, Lewis, Martin,Gable, O'Hara etc. - 30 years later, I can't get enough. Movies of 30, 40, 50+ years ago are a must see. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this DVD and you will too. Today's world is so in your face - these movies actually take you away from all that. They are just amazing. From funny to thrilling - you'll get hooked! I certainly did. I'm catching up on all the great movies I missed as a kid and enjoying every minute of it!
Great Vincent Price double feature.
