Tower of London
The twisted Richard III is haunted by the ghosts of those he has murdered in his attempt to become the King of England.
Why it matters
A Gothic psychological horror steeped in Shakespearean treachery, where Vincent Price’s Richard III is haunted by the blood on his hands.
- Price’s theatrical flair infuses Richard with chilling charisma and deliciously over-the-top menace.
- A moody blend of historical drama and supernatural retribution, ahead of its time in melding ghost story with political intrigue.
- Practical effects and shadowy cinematography create an oppressive atmosphere worthy of Hammer’s best.
- Ideal for fans of period horror and those who appreciate Price’s unique ability to humanize villainy without losing the creep factor.
