This movie contains three tales of terror based on the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first tale co-stars Sabastian Cabot whom Twilight Zone fans might remember as Mr. Pip—or Satan. His more mundane role was Mr. French in Family Affair.

Last Man on Earth too close for comfort?
As Halloween approaches, we like to share some of those old “B” movies from around the Internet. Our first concerns The Last Man on Earth. Vincent Price plays a scientist trying to find a cure for virus that is spreading throughout the globe. As he watches his family die, he does not even realize he has the cure.
This movie was remade in the sixties. The Omega Man stared Charlton Heston. It was remade again in the recent thriller Legend staring Will Smith.
This film is exceptionally eerie this year with the recent news of the Ebola virus permeating the news.
The House on Haunted Hill
This 1959 William Castle classic introduced his “Emergo” gimmick in which he placed pulleys in some theaters to cause plastic skeletons to flow over the audience in certain scenes. John Goodman played a William Castle type producer in the 1993 film Matinee. This film stars Vincent Price.
Part two of our double feature is Vincent Price in the 1946 thriller Shock.
