(The pit and the pendulum)
Thanks for reminding me Len. Vincent Price was superb wasnāt he. A staple of my early life from about 10-25. Must relive some of the greats like Withchfinder General and Masque of the Red Death.
@Geoffrey51 Yes I am a big fan, Masque of the red death is a work of art, and Witchfinder General ranks on my all time top ten (director Michael Reeve died far too you.)
The Pit and the Pendulum & The Telltail Heart were my brother's and my favorite stories when our mom was teaching us to read. Those and Yertle the Turtle & the Cat In the Hat. Oh, and a book of Greek myths.
You should have a crack at the other Edgar Alan Poe stuff!
as usual, the original is better. [ibiblio.org]

I'm that not much of a movie person and least of all horror movies. But this one got to me even from TV in the early 70s.
It's been so long I don't remember the Poe story well but I do remember how much the 1961 movie bothered me. Lol.
@genessa Oops. I didn't even look. My error. Sorry.
I figured I likely wouldn't enjoy the film anyway (as per my previous comment).
I am definitely more of a reader these days than a movie person (as are you -- from your comment?).
I do have 'Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales & Poems' on my Kindle. But I haven't dug into it lately yet. I've let myself be distracted by other authors.
Again, my error.
