The Haunted Palace*     
(US 1963)    
American International/Alta Vista. 87m. Panavision

A New England village is beset by a curse from a warlock, whose descendant is possessed many years later by the same demonic forces.
Pasted together Corman horror based on H.P. Lovecraft and Poe, with clunky plot and script, and a  prologue which removes most of the later suspense - all made up for with style and performances.
