Get cozy, ghouls! This week’s episode is all about Roger Corman’s cozy spin on HP Lovecraft starring Vincent Price; The Haunted Palace (1963). From wiki: “The Haunted Palace is a 1963 horror film released by American International Pictures, starring Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Jr. and Debra Paget (in her final film), in a story about a village held in the grip of a dead necromancer. The film was directed by Roger Corman and is one of his series of eight films largely based on the works of American author Edgar Allan Poe.”
But first: Josh and Dru go to the West side! Drusilla is Lovecraft’s great great grandniece or something. Drusilla watched The Erl King (1931) directed by Marie-Louise Iribe on Criterion. Josh watched the first film by an obscure director named Steven Spielberg called Duel and became a men’s rights activist. (Kidding!)
Also mentioned: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Häxan, Jean Cocteau, Hell Comes to Frog Town, Guy Maddin, Kenneth Anger, Road Games, The Vanishing Point, Death Proof, Jaws, Tenebrae, Scooby Doo, Elisha Cook Jr., Lair of the White Worm, The Haunting of Julia, cozy horror, Joe Dante, Alan Arkush, The Sentinel, and more!
