Infinitely long sequence of nothin', "will he won't he leave the house?"
They lost a lot not having Ward & Curwen negotiate. The rapey parts here don't fit with either Ward or Curwen in the book. Curwen has no interest in his dead wife/mistress, she's only interesting to connect to Ward.
But finally stuff happens! A couple nice kills.
Townsfolk are such simple creatures: "We're all cursed! Let's go repeat the thing that got us cursed!" "Hooray!"

The rule is "don't show the monster", & this scene is why. Oh, you paid for this? Better show it several times & completely destroy its plausibility. "What about Charles?" And back to the Poe poem. Hrmn. Middle of this was *awful*. Curwen's plot never made sense. Everyone kinda just fucked around until the mob came for them. Great castle, tho! ★★½☆☆ I guess? #monsterdon #hauntedPalace1963
