An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe (1970)

Vincent Price tells 4 of Poe's most famous and beloved tales.
In The Tell-Tale Heart a man is driven mad with guilt, The Sphinx tells of a man who see's a monster looking out through his friend's window, The Cask of Amontillado sees a man lead a rival wine collector into the catacombs on the pretext of showing him a rare bottle, and finally, a first-hand account of a man sentenced to death by torture at the hands of the spanish inquisition brings things to a close in The Pit and The Pendulum.
