Adapted from two Jules Verne novel -- Master of the World and The Conqueror. Starring Vincent Price, Charles Bronson, Henry Hull, and Vito Scotti.
Tower of London (1962)
Blind ambition meets bloody terror in famed director Roger Corman's "sophisticated and well made" (Video Hound's Golden Movie Retreiver) tale of royally bad behavior based on Shakespeare's Richard III! Starring the king of creepiness, Vincent Price, as a demented despot who's killing his way to England's throne - only to be haunted by the spirits of his victims - Tower of London is a "quivering good time" (Los Angeles Times)!

Cry of the Banshee (1970)
Vincent Price is diabolical, commanding and "as brutally horrific as ever" (Motion Picture Exhibitor) as a corrupt English magistrate who leads a crusade to rid the countryside of witches...but doesn't mind accosting a few innocent wenches on his way! Murder, torture and titillation are just a few methods of interrogation in this lurid "witchcraft shocker" (Motion Picture Exhibitor) that pits evil against more evil in a duel to the death! Also starring Essy Persson, Hilary Heath, Carl Rigg, and Stephan Chase.
An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe (1970)
