Tales of Terror (1962) • Discape

A trilogy of shock and horror!

This horror anthology presents three eerie tales inspired by Edgar Allan Poe: a grieving man tries to reunite with his dead wife through dark rituals, a wine-lover faces a deadly duel of wits in a tale of revenge, and a hypnotist’s experiment with suspended death spirals into horror. Each story explores madness, obsession, and the supernatural with macabre flair. This trio of chilling tales blends gothic atmosphere, grim humor, and poetic doom.
