It's a horror comedy. Not really but a satire that takes place in the mid to late 19th century. Their time was so different than the 21st Century that creates a unique motion. Less horror, more comedy. The man who stole the show was no other than Vincent Price, from the Dr. Phibes fame. His dark humor realized me that he influenced some of the actors such as Robert Downey Jr. if I aren't wrong but no one can compare his 'Priceless' acting. The comedy was such that somebody could realize the definition of a 'pure black comedy'. Yes there are lots of movies out of it but this one gave me a real laughter than I have imagined. Most of the actors, the comic timing is given by Peter Lorre and Joyce Jameson. I wished it would have been a remake to suit more out of it. The story was really attractive as well as the characters even the dialogues. It had created a realistic statement (literally). Even it is film from the 1960s but a versatility is always a mark of this movie. Hat's off to the renowned Vincent Price- The Legend . 7/10
