Vincent Price is The Mad Magician!

Delightfully tongue-in-cheek, the film also offers some genuinely frightfest-style moments, courtesy of director John Brahm (The Lodger, Hangover Square), one of Hollywood’s foremost stylists of the macabre.

Also included are a pair of 3D/2D 1953 comedy shorts starring The Three Stooges:  Pardon My Backfire and Spooks.

Special features on the Blu-ray included the following:
-Isolated Music Track
-Audio commentary by film historians David Del Valle and Steven Peros
-Master of Fright!: Conjuring The Mad Magician
-Original Theatrical Trailer
