Roger Corman’s THE HAUNTED PALACE was marketed as “Edgar Allan Poe’s The Haunted Palace” but is actually derived from the plot of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.” It stars Vincent Price, as it should.

Condemned warlock Joseph Curwen curses a New England village just before being burned alive. All of them witches! More than a century later, Curwen’s kindly great-great grandson Charles Ward arrives in town and moves into Curwen’s old mansion. Caretaker Simon Orne helps Charles and his wife Ann adjust to their new home but the ancient curse, however, soon takes hold of Joseph, awakening inside him a long-dormant evil passed on through blood.

Drink Special:  Temple Sticke Altbier

H.P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, RI in 1890, the same year Narragansett Beer was founded just down the road. Though he toiled mostly in obscurity in small-press magazines during his life, today he is universally acclaimed as the “Father of Modern Horror.” Artists from Stephen King, to Neil Gaiman, Metallica, and Guillermo del Toro cite him as a direct influence. The Narragansett Lovecraft Series of collaborations follows the spirit of his “Cthulhu Mythos,” which invited fellow authors to write in the same shared universe of ideas.
