Tales of Terror is the title of a 1962 horror movie starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Basil Rathbone, directed by Roger Corman, which comprised three sequences, each based on stories by Edgar Allan Poe. The episodes are
- "Morella" (which actually resembles Poe's "Ligeia"),
- "The Black Cat" (which contains elements from "The Cask of Amontillado"),
- "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar."
Although loosely adapted by Richard Matheson, the half-hour format of each episode allows the script to remain a bit more faithful to the original short stories than the previous Price-Corman-Poe films had.
