Legendary Scream King Vincent Price serves up a diabolical nightmare dripping with "brooding evil and sinister suspense" (Film Daily)! Based on Edgar Allen Poe's chilling tale about a family driven to savage bloodlust by a power beyond their wildest fears, this terrifying story of murder and madness proves that there's no place like home...for horror! Convinced that his family's blood is tainted by generations of evil, Roderick Usher (Price) is hell-bent on destroying his sister Madeline's (Myrna Fahey) wedding to prevent the cursed Usher bloodline from extending any further. Madeline is determined to elope, but when her fiancé, Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon), arrives at the crumbling family mansion to claim his lovely bride, Roderick goes to ruthless lengths to keep them apart. And Philip soon discovers that, for the Usher family, their house is more than just a home...it's their tomb! Legendary director Roger Corman helms the first of his "Poe Cycle" with style and panache.
