Saw this on TV when I was a kid in the 70s

I almost didn't want to go trick or treating as a youngster because I was riveted by this film. I remember my mom yelling at me to get ready while I was sitting in front of the tube. Back then, I would sneak downstairs at midnight to catch the late night horror films shown on Saturday nights. Once my dad caught me and instead of scolding me, he joined me! As a child, this movie was one of my favorite horror films, filled with humor and horror and of course Vincent Price!

I saw this on TCM about 7 or 8 years ago. I remember staying up until after midnight which I barely ever do just because I'd wanted to see this film for a long time. I watched it again today and it was just as good as I remembered. I love anthology films, Gothic horror, cats, Edgar Allan Poe, and Vincent Price; so it had all the ingredients necessary to be a good film.
