Summary: Great Price Collection
Comment: This is filled with a great collection of movies on both sides of the disc. Though each are very short anyone who is a fan of films of this type will love it. Vincent Price is great and stars in all of the movies each from the stories of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. My favorite would probably be the Black Cat when a love triangle turns pretty bad for everyone except I guess the cat. The whole collection is great and should be an addition to fans of Vincent Price and of classic horror.
The quality of the dvd is good and the audio is what you expect. The special features aren't really there either. What stinks is no english subtitles which is kind of annoying but not a big deal to take from the experience of the movie. Overall a must buy since this is such a great selection and collection of films for the types of people I mentioned above.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: As another reviewer mentioned, one of the Tales of Terror is actually a combination of "The Black Cat" and "The Cask of Amontillado". I read both stories in my English classes, and then show the video and have the students write a compare/contrast paper. It's a lot of fun right around Halloween, and helps us get into the mood for the holiday. We all especially love the end, when Peter Lorre's head is being tossed back and forth between his wife and Fortunato. Great stuff!

Summary: A HORROR Fan delight
Comment: In the 1960's, Roger Corman directed and produced many of Edgar Allan Poe's novels and short stories to the silver screen. The cast were usually Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone with a few appearances by Boris Karloff (The Raven is one of those and is worth every penny if you find it).
This double feature of Poe Tales are suited for these masters of fright and their wonderful acting talents.
Those fans of modern day splatter horror may not get these semi bloodless thriller. However these tales of mayhem may grow on you
Without a doubt, worth every penny to keep in any horror collection

Summary: "The Black Cat" segment is also "Cask of Amontillado"
Comment: Vincent Price & Peter Lorre have great fun in "The Black Cat" segment which also intertwines the plot of "The Cask of Amontillado"- Price's Fortunato insults Lorre's Monstressor by sleeping with his wife, who gets walled up with Price and... well, there's where even more fun begins!
"Morella" and "M. Valdemar" are also good scary fun, but it's "The Black Cat" that makes the show. Alas, I have not yet seen "Twice Told Tales".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Love Vincent and Peter
Comment: I had Tales of Terror on VHS when I was a kid and have looked for it everywhere on DVD. The Black Cat is the best of the three. Peter Lorre and Vincent Price are brilliant. I hadn't seen twice told tales before, it's campy, but the old horror quality of the film and Vincent make-up for it.
Definitely a must for fans of Vincent, Peter, Edgar Allan Poe, and anyone who loves old style horror!
