Recently, I've been getting into Roger Corman's Poe-adaptations he shot for AIP in the 1960s with ole Vincent Price, with THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH my favorite so far. No surprise, the great Nicholas Roeg, in his early days, was Corman's DP.

Seriously, Price was one of those guys who whenever he appeared in a movie, he just fucking dominates it away from everyone. He was that awesome. Imagine Bruce Campbell, but with theatrical training...and a better career.
