This is one of the movies I watched when Corman died. I absolutely love it. Like if you asked for a list movies I could watch over and over, this would absolutely make the list.

This one is pretty goofy but it is hard to dislike it. Great cast.

Ann (Debra Paget): "What's wrong with those people?"
Joseph/Charles (Vincent Price): "They are stupid... to the marrow of their bones."
