5/10
The 60's version of "Creepshow"
27 December 2004
This overlooked Vincent Price movie, supposedly based on the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, appears to be the inspiration for "Creepshow," complete with a skeleton hand turning the pages between stories. It has some fun moments, and a great second story involving a plant/human hybrid, but the overall quality is dangerously close to the B-movie level. The acting, sets, effects, etc., are all silly. The last story (The House of the Seven Gables) has a floating skeleton hand that must be seen to be believed. It is worth noting because of the other anthologies it seems to have inspired, but it doesn't have much else to offer. 5/10 stars.
