I enjoyed "The Pit and the Pendulum" for several reasons, one of which, of course, is Edgar Allen Poe, and the other, Vincent Price, the consummate actor. He was brilliant as the fragile, yet insane lead character Nicholas. Barbara Steele is also brilliant. She is perfect for this role, I remember her in another film which escapes me at the moment. She played in s film where she plays a witch and/or vampire. Either way, this story was well told, the right amount of suspense and mystery for enjoyment. I would have rathered the description not been such a spoiler, it gave too much away prior to my viewing this for the first time. Also, is it me or does John Kerr look just like HARRY CONNICK, JR? TELL HIM, we've found his doppelganger. Great film. I love Vincent Prince and I love Edgar Allen Poe, if you liked this film, you should check out, THE NIGHT GALLERY WITH ROD SERLING AND ALSO THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK SERIES ALSO ON Hulu. Happy viewing!
