Twice-Told Tales

(1963)Directed by Sidney Salkow120 minHorror, Fantasy, Science Fiction
“A trio of terror!”

Three Nathaniel Hawthorne stories are laid end to end, each with Vincent Price in a new role: a doctor trying to bring three old friends back to youth, a father who has fed his daughter poison so she can never leave his garden, and a family quarreling over an inheritance when a stranger knocks. Price plays Dr. Rappaccini, and he tends that garden with the patience of a man who thinks he is protecting someone.
