Short description

Three stories adapted from the work of Edgar Allen Poe: 1) A man and his daughter are reunited, but the blame for the death of his wife hangs over them, unresolved. 2) A derelict challenges the local wine-tasting champion to a competition, but finds the man's attention to his wife worthy of more dramatic action. 3) A man dying and in great pain agrees to be hypnotized at the moment of death, with unexpected consequences.

What's left behind the scenes

  • To give the audience the impression that Vincent Price's (1911-1993) face was literally melting and dissolving, a heated mixture of glue, glycerin, cornstarch, and makeup paint was poured over the actor's head. The mixture was so hot that the actor could only endure it for a few seconds.
