⁉️ THE HAUNTED TRIVIA 🏚️🦇
Tonight's feature is historically importantly because it is the FIRST movie based on an H.P. Lovecraft story - and Roger Corman wanted to make that known by using the original story title.
Unfortunately, American International Pictures execs did not. They wanted to connect the movie to Corman's existing very popular Edgar Allan Poe series of films.

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ THE HAUNTED TRIVIA 🏚️🦇 The story is based on "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" by H. P. Lovecraft The film's "revised" title is derived from a 6-stanza poem by Poe, published in 1839 (which was later incorporated into Poe's horror short story "The Fall of the House of Usher"). The film uses eight lines from the poem within the framing of the story. #Monsterdon #TheHauntedPalace1963
