Did you know
- TriviaPeter Lorre and Jack Nicholson were fond of ad-libbing their lines, much to the annoyance of Boris Karloff, who was working from the script.

- Quotes
Dr. Craven: [Opening lines] Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,/ While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door./ "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door. / Only this and nothing more."
- Alternate versionsOne version has the climactic wizard duel without the rotoscoped bolts of magic.
- ConnectionsEdited into Not of This Earth (1988)
Featured review
If you are expecting Poe.........
Sorry, if you are expecting a movie based on Poe's poem. Other than Vincent Price elucidating one line from the
poem and his wife being named Lenore, any other connections are coincidental. Yet, I'm sure you will find this movie entertaining and funny. An all star cast of Vincent Price,( the kind but powerful
hero), Peter Lorre, (a sniveling, shifty, weasel), and Karloff
at his diabolical best as the evil magician. It is sort of a
D&D version of the Good, Bad & the Ugly. Great special
effects for its time. A young ,soon to be Superstar Jack
Nicholson playing Peter Lorre's noble son does not really
add to the story, but it's fun to see him in his fledging days.
