Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Despite the Poe title, this is actually Corman's first Lovecraft adaptation—'The Haunted Palace' is a Poe poem, but the plot is 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.'

Cultural

Price and Corman made this between 'Poe cycle' entries, accidentally kickstarting Hollywood's decades-long confusion between Poe and Lovecraft.
