What's in it....
1. The Fall of House of Usher a.k.a House of Usher (1960).
2. The Pit and the Pendulum (1961).
3. The Haunted Palace (1963).
4. The Masque of the Red Death (1964).
5. Witchfinder General - and its alternate U.S. version of the film, The Conqueror Worm (1968).
6. The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).
Thought I'd provide what Amazon hasn't. Maybe Shout! Factory hasn't made anything official.
The sequel to Phibes would be nice. Seems incomplete without it. Of course, you could list The Raven, A Comedy of Terrors (* looks at watch *) well... many more. But not a bad looking set if this is what it ends up being.
(will replace this with a review when it comes out and I can afford to get it)
A collection to treasure evermore....

Classics All...
These 6 films- THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THE HAUNTED PALACE, MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES- represent a good portion of Vincent Price's output for AIP. These were all released earlier on MGM's MIDNITE MOVIES double feature DVDs. These are some of VP's best movies, w/ USHER allowing him to brood, PENDULUM bringing out his character's utterly insane vengeance, and WITCHMASTER showcasing his role as an eeevil, sadistic fraud. These are three of my personal favorites! I believe they capture him at his most sinister. PALACE is a wonderful Lovecraft tale. RED DEATH shows Price performing at his most pompous and megalomaniacal! Dr. PHIBES is his chance to be darkly humorous (as he was in THEATRE OF BLOOD). A very good starting point for anyone building a Vincent Price collection...
