Three horror stories based on the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the first story titled "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", Heidegger attempts to restore the youth of three elderly friends. In "Rappaccini's Daughter", Vincent Price plays a demented father innoculating his daughter with poison so she may never leave her garden of poisonous plants. In the final story "The House of the Seven Gables", the Pyncheon family suffers from a hundred year old curse and while in the midst of arguing over inheritance, the Pyncheon brother kills his sister...

Vincent Price is the one who carries Twice-Told Tales, but that was to be expected. His characters are quite similar, but that's also their beauty. You know what to expect from them, and you're glad when you get it. This should be a film that definitely belongs among the classics with Price, especially because it's not based on Poe. The first story really got me excited and I enjoyed the rest of the film as well.
