It's been said that Corman's films in the late 50s and early 60s were precursors to the Hippie films of the late 60s and 70s. Usually a member of a younger generation would come to forcibly remove a member of an aging and decrepit generation...the latter usually being played by Vincent Price.
the latter usually being played by Vincent Price. Reminds me that I need to pick up the DVDs of "The Fall of the House of Usher" and the "Mask of the Red Death."
I'm just as pissed at the motion picture industry for not releasing "The Conformist," "The Spider Strategem," "The Seven Ups," and "Serial" on DVD.
