Movie Review: The Haunted Palace (1963)

Movies,
The Haunted Palace starring Vincent Price

What would you do if you found out that you inherited a haunted palace? Would you keep it? Sell it? Would you gamble to spend even a single night there?

They ignored dire warnings from the locals and decided to see the place for themselves. After all they now owned it. Can you blame them? Well we can pity them.

Inside he finds an old journal that tells this frightening Tale of the Ghouls. Continue reading →
