All You Need is Lovecraft

Through his portrait that hung on the wall,
to his forbear his skull was in thrall
This painting of evil
hid a danger primeval
and a horror that clung like a pall.

In The Haunted Palace (Roger Corman,1963), Vincent Price is possessed by the writing of H.P. Lovecraft. With Debra Paget. Title by that lurking fear-monger, David Cairns.
