THE HAUNTED PALACE: Film Review by Kat Ellinger now up at screamhorrormag Synopsis: Set in the 19th Century Charles Dexter Ward (Vincent Price) and his dutiful wife Ann (Debra Paget) arrive in the town of Arkham to a less than warm welcome from the locals. Ward has recently inherited his great, great Grandfather Joseph Curwen’s estate- a rambling castle on the outskirts of the town; a place that unbeknownst to the couple harbours a deep, dark past. It would appear Ward’s decendent Curwen was a warlock and necromancer, feared by the community and finally executed by burning for his crimes of dabbling in the occult. Curwen’s final words were to curse the inhabitants of Arkham and the future lines of their families, and as a result many of the town’s people for generations to come have been born afflicted with horrific physical mutations. Ward and his wife ignore all the warnings and take up residence at the old ramshackle estate. But old Curwen has unfinished business with the people of Arkham. Now with Ward installed in the family home Curwen is able to reach out from beyond the grave and use his bloodline to finish what he started and bring his legacy of evil to its final terrifying conclusion.
