We're hard at work on our giant pile of weird old box sets, and that means it's time for Bleeding Heart, a game that Jon assures me is loosely based on something called the Corman Poe film era of the mid-sixties, and he's a total horror nerd so I gotta go with him on this one.

In this chapter we have the next two Poe movies from Roger Corman, which each took a different direction. Tales of Terror (1962) was an anthology film featuring three different Poe stories, plus guest stars Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone. While The Raven (1963) was a comedy horror tale of feuding sorcerers which saw Vincent Price plotting magical skulduggery with Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson!

In a new chapter of this retrospective on the late great Roger Corman's cycle of Poe movie, we look at his third adaptation, The Premature Burial, which starred Ray Milland rather than Vincent Price and very nearly wasn't made by AIP at all.

In this chapter we learn how Roger Corman and Richard Matheson devised a second cinematic foray in the world of Edgar Allan Poe, this time plunging horror icons Vincent Price and Barbara Steele in the the nightmares of The Pit and Pendulum (1961).

Halloween is here, and Heroic Purgatory is celebrating the spooky season with a spoonful of Roger Corman, Vincent Price, and Edgar Allan Poe.

In this episode we detail how Roger Corman made his first adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe, The House of Usher, starring Vincent Price, and the impact it had when unleashed upon the world in 1960! 

A new horror history series begins - devoted to the cycle of Edgar Allan Poe films directed by Roger Corman for AIP back in the 1960s. In this first chapter, we explore the origins of this series of classic movies, tracing the road that led to the House of Usher! 

In today's episode, Vincent Price helms House of Usher, a dark tale of decay inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's 1839 short story "The Fall of the House of Usher.” Released in 1960 as the first in the Corman-Poe cycle of films, the film follows Phillip as he visits the Usher mansion in the hopes of convincing his runaway fiance, Madeline, to return to him. But his efforts are continually thwarted by Madeline's brother, Roderick, who warns Phillip that marriage to Madeline will result in total, personal destruction. Merging elements of the gothic sensibility that marked Poe's illustrative career with a specific brand of 1960s film affect, House of Usher is a surprisingly overlooked film in the gothic horror canon. But should it be? We're breaking it all down today with spoilers so stay tuned! Recommended Reading: Avelar, Mário.

Corman! Poe! Price! Milland?!? Lovecraft?!? . Roger Corman laid a foundation for his unexpectedly successful series of films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe with House of Usher in 1960. He put care, thought, and preparation into it, then built from that with future installments. . In this month's meeting of the Classic Horrors Club, Jeff and Richard discuss two of the Corman/Poe films from the early 1960s: The Premature Burial (1962) and The Haunted Palace (1963.)

In this episode, I spoke with the author Chris Alexander on his book Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964. Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, Roger Corman's adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and "freely adapted") by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne.

This week I am joined in the Confessional by Leticia Urieta where we discuss the Vincent Price/ Roger Corman classic The Masque of the Red Death (1964). Adapted from an Edgar Allan Poe short story with elements drawn from one of his other short stories, Hop-Frog. This movie marked Corman's 7th adapted Poe movie, and his 6th starring Price. There would eventually be 8 total Corman-Poe films made. Leticia and I also discussed her new short story collection Las Criaturas out now from Flowersong Press and all the great work she's doing in the community with Austin Bat Cave and with Barrio Writers Buy Las Criaturas here Follow Leticia here Children of the Land by Marcel Hernadez Castillo

Satan. Say it loud and there's music playing. Say it soft and it's almost like praying. The debauchery of the 60's had yet to even really begin when Roger Corman decided to have the final word in colorful horror bachanalia with The Masque of the Red Death (1963). In this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror commentary track podcast, Patrick dives into the Corman Poe cycle, the advantages of shooting your costume dramas in England, and what Vincent Price means to Patrick as a queer man and more. What better way to celebrate the fact that at any moment any of us can be destroyed by billionaires than to watch Vincent Price as a tyrannical prince get himself, and all his rich friends, infected with a flesh-eating plague?    No, I will not put a spoiler alert around that.
