In "The Haunted Palace," it is 1765, and the villagers of Arkham discover strange goings-on at Joseph Curwen's mansion. He is kidnapping the village's girls and mating them with creatures of the night to breed a master-race of supremely evil power. A century after his death, Curwen's great grandson appears in the village, and his presence terrifies the villagers. In "Tower of London," horror movie king Vincent Price stars in a film based on the story of King Richard III, a disfigured and insane man who tortured his way to the British throne. While his father lay on his deathbed, Richard kills his brother so that he will be the only heir to the throne. When his father dies, Richard, in his madness and lust for power, resorts to torture and murder to eliminate anyone who tries to interfere with his plans for achieving his ambitions. But his insanity and the horror it unleases comes full circle, and he meets a fate as violent as that of his own victims.
