I'm not sure but I remember this old film and a man gets entombed alive.

I think maybe Vincent Price was in this? (Maybe) ...

I know it's not "The Cat" with Vincent Price. It sure looked like him though.

What else? hmm ... Oh, it looked like the same time period as The Pit and the Pendulum.

It was in color. (very medieval looking)

I'm sorry thats all I remember. (for now) ... Please and thank you.

Venomx, this might be Tales Of Terror (1963) specifically the episode "The Black Cat" :smile:

Trevor nailed it!Peter Lorre did the brick work!  :cheers:

Thanks for the help ... but thats not it.

Remember I said "I know it's not "The Cat" with Vincent Price" I forgot the full title was the "Black cat".

But no though, it's not Tales Of Terror, I have that.

Thanks for trying. Did any other movie have a part with a man that gets entombed alive? Please and thanks.

Was it "The Premature Burial"?  That was a short story by Edgar Allen Poe and I believe it was one of Roger Corman's Poe adaptations he did in the 60's with Vincent Price.

Hmmm I'm almost sure it's not , but thanks for trying though.


Info on The Premature Burial - A man accidentally buried alive!. based in a history from Edgar Allan Poe.

The thing is - the movie I remember: the evil man layed the stone work while laughing, the other guy was screaming.
"Please nooo please help!!!" like that <

Then again, maybe it wasn't a Vincent Price at all? But 1 thing for sure it was medieval times.

Was this perhaps an adaptation of The Cask of Amontillado?  The description certainly sounds like it.

The above doesn't seem like it, since it is purely Vincent Price narrating it alone.  But, it's the closest thing I could find.

I haven't seen the screen adaptation for it, but I second Jim's nomination for The Cask of Amontillado.
That's one of my favorite Poe stories and was the first thing I thought of when reading your original post.

(not 100% on it, though)

Wow thats funny my wife told me the same thing - sounds like the book The Cask of Amontillado.

Now I just need to find a movie version and I'm all set. (but still looking)

Thanks for all the help.

If it turns out to not be Cask, it could be one of the six or seven versions of The Canterville Ghost. I've only seen the 1944 one but it contains a scene where a man is walled up in the cellar by his father because he wouldn't participate in a duel. His ghost then haunts the castle. It's a comedy.

Thanks Slick, Yeah I'm still looking though ... this one is very difficult, I know. (Sorry guys).

I will check out Cask and The Canterville Ghost, but I'm sure is wasn't comedy.

I still need to find a movie version for The Cask of Amontillado.

Thanks again everyone.

"The Oblong Box" with Vincent Price? The costumes were meant to be Edwardian, I think. The supernatural element was based around voodoo.

It's the only Price feature film I can recall where a person is buried alive but it's not behind a wall.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oblong_Box_(film) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oblong_Box_(film))

I think Vincent Price was the "evil guy" though. Yeah I'm almost sure he was doing the stone work.

Thats even if it was a Vincent Price movie, the actor sure did look like him though.

I also remember a huge castle now ... same outfits from The Pit and the Pendulum. (well, almost the same)

A medieval village just popped up in my head, but I'm not so sure. (this is driving me crazy lol)

Again, thanks for trying. I do appreciate all the help.

EDIT*

I just remembered something! The man who was entombed alive, was drugged 1st then chained to a wall.

Well that eliminates Canterville Ghost. His father was sure that his son wouldn't be hiding in the cellar, so he bricked it up. It was when he had almost finished when the son came forward and pleaded to be let out.

Drugged than chained to a wall?  If it's not the Cask of Amontillado, it's ripping it off hardcore.

Now I just need to reseach a 1960 or 70's version of Cask of Amontillado (movie).

I'm super sure the film I remember was made in the 60's or 70's.

I do appreciate all the help.

I hope you find it...  In the meantime..

Thanks Jim, and thanks for the Poe stories. :thumbup:

Isn't this scene in one of the Phibes movies? I've seen it too.

I will look into that, thanks Rayo :thumbup:

Btw masque of the red death ... Did Price entomb anyone alive in that?

I think thats it! I remember Him with that black getup on. But Im still not 100% sure yet ...

Can someone confirm masque of the red death entomb scene?

Venom, I taped "The Masque of Red Death" a while back, but I haven't watched it yet. I've seen bits and pieces before, but not the whole thing, so I don't know offhand if the scene is in there. I'll watch it tonight and let you know.

Cool! Thats very nice of you, yes please let me know. Thanks again Bargle5 :thumbup:

Sorry to report that no one gets buried alive in the film. There is a man chained to a wall in the dungeon, but he is just another prisoner there, no entombing. At the end Vincent Price's character is chased into a darkened room where he dies, but there's no walling in.
There is a large castle in the film and a small village.

Rereading this thread puts me in mind of another film with some of the elements you describe, but again, no entombing alive of anyone. That film is Curse of the Werewolf with Oliver Reed. The beggar character in the film does get sent to and dies in the dungeon, but doesn't get entombed that I recall. There is a castle and a village. Just in case, I'm including a link to the IMDb comments page for it. There's usually more detailed descriptions included in the reviews there.

Aww ... Oh well. Thanks a lot for trying though, I do appreciate all the help. I have The Curse of the Werewolf, no thats not it. I wonder if it is in one of the Dr. Phibes movies? ... well, thanks again everybody.

I'm always here. I read this post everyday, so if any new info, just let me know. Thanks. :smile:

Huge castle. Pendulum. Someone walled up alive. Famous older actor.
All of that is in "Castle of the Living Dead" (a.k.a. Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism)
http://www.badmovieplanet.com/3btheater/c/castleofwalkingdead.html

What'cha think?

That sure sounds like it, only 1 problem, was the person walled up a man? I'm 100% sure was a man.

That's a really good find though! Thanks alot Rayo.

I got lucky, look what I found on youtube - Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism. I'm watching right now.

EDIT - Nope, thats not it. Thank you for trying.

What ever the name of the movie was the plot was "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allen Poe if you are thinking of the same one I am.

Im still looking lol, I cant find a singal 60s or 70s movie about it though ...

I'm pretty sure it was Master of Horror, which was a '60s film that featured an adaptation of The Cask of Amontillado. It used to turn up on late-night TV all the time.

Oddly I've seen a few dozen stories that are based on the same concept... people are entombed alive.

Tales of Terror (1962) did a version of "The Cask of Amontillado" story with Peter Lorre and Vincent Price. Pretty sure "The Black Cat" was mixed in with it too.

I don't know the film Venomx is looking for, but I just want to confirm the statement that the tale in "Tales of Terror" with Lorre and Price was a combination of Poe's "The Black Cat" and "The Cask of Amontillado."

No it was not in Tales of Terror... Thank you though.

I'm still on the look out.

I also recall the evil man talking to the "doomed man" as he was putting the last stone in the wall.

But I am sure, 100% it's a 60's or 70's movie... with an old castle.

I bumped to see if any new people have an idea.

Thank you.

Well the problem with using Poe suggestions is that he has a few people that are enclosed in various places.  However, chaining and speaking while working are specific to "The Cask of Amontillado".  However, I have tried looking for movies inspired by the story with no luck.  I'm not sure what else is out there.  There could be an obscure foreign adaptation.  His stories resonated well in France that may be worth looking into for ideas.  I know the '60s and '70s had a few dubbed Poe featured French movies though can't think of any off the top of my head. 

I know I saw a version of The Cask of Amontillado in college which sounds a lot like the film being described here...not sure if it was originally French dubbed into English but it might have been...

I'm pretty sure the movie you're after VX, is The Fall Of The House Of Usher (1960)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053925/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053925/)

Thanks guys... but its not The Fall Of The House Of Usher as I know that movie well.

I think I also forgot to mention the man that was being entombed was blonde witha bowl cut hair cut.

They did that several times on the TV show Dark Shadows.

Here's Reverend Trask walling up Barnabas (at about 2:10):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFMsBqX-H1g&feature=player_detailpage

Here's Tim shaw and Judith walling up Trask (around 2:50):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DBIXreIb2fI

There was at least one more where Barnabas walled up Rev. Trask.

Yeah, but it was definitely a full movie. Thanks though.

Cobble stone path to a castle... evil man talking to the doomed man... the doomed man was blonde 100% sure.

I wish I could remember more.

I need to watch The Masque of the Red Death (1964) with Vincent Price. I think that's THE movie!

If someone gets entombed alive that's it... it sure looks like the time line.

I'll edit this after I watch it.

VenomX, you've forgotten. I watched "The Masque of Red Death" almost 2 years ago and it wasn't it. Look back at posts 20 and 22. No blonde bowl cut guy getting walled up.

Thats right you did. Sorry about that as I can't even remember last week anymore...

Wow 2 years now! Damn. Will I ever find that movie?

This one's had me baffled for so long. I'm certain I've seen it as well. I've been thinking maybe it was one of Jess Franco's Poe adaptations... Also has Tor-Man's suggestion ever been ruled out: Master of Horror (Argentina made film, showed up on TV all the time) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054134/ or that 1965 University of Michigan production of "Cask..." that showed up on PBS?

There's also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdxpxb3l-Y

*bump*

Pretty sure what you're looking for is And the Wall Came Tumbling Down (1984), actually an episode of the UK's Hammer House of Mystery tv show, but I think released in the US as a stand-alone movie.  




Edit: It won't let me post the direct link, but the whole thing is available on youtube.

super bump! lol

nope sorry... buts not that it... Ive been looking since 2009

the blonde guy that was entomed had a bowl cut... im 100% sure of it...

I know it's not "The Cat" with Vincent Price. It sure looked like him though.

maybe in story - same time period as The Pit and the Pendulum.

It was in color. (very medieval looking)

The Pit and the Pendulum. 

There was one a long time ago, I believe you mean the one in 1991. 

YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY (1971) has a woman walling up a guy alive with a black cat.

Inmates of an asylum wall Boris Karloff up alive in BEDLAM (1946).

TALES OF TERROR (1962) has one of three tales where VINCENT PRICE is walled up with his lover by PETER LORRE (she's his wife) accidentally walling up her cat with them both... "The Black Cat" ... the corpses are revealed after investigators hear a cat wailing behind a new wall...

^ That film is mentioned on page 1.

Yeh, I thought maybe it was mentioned... 11 years ago when the thread started. 

Wow, it's been 11 years. Just wow.

Ok, well this is an odd bump. I only found this site because i am looking for exactly what Venomx is looking for. Everything matches, i've even watched a few of the ones listed before making my own account so i can reply. It is definitely not Tales of terror, Cask, as I've watched both of those tonite, hoping to find the specific scene.

The only thing i can really add to help the flow of info are these points:
   * The wall got broken, but not from the outside. The dead thing inside broke out.
   * Something about the bricks "bleeding"
   * There were other bodies inside the wall that the blonde guy was about to be encased in. At the very least one other body already there, and blonde
      dude did see it
   * Pretty sure the dead folks that got out, ended up bricking the bad guy into the wall at the end

A guy bricked up a girl in the BLACK CAT (1966). I don't think that's it.
Karloff got bricked up in BEDLAM (1946). Don't think that's it either.
This has been going on since 2009!

@RCMerchat

TBH im more glad that someone else out there that knows this exists, and also cannot find it. Ive been looking for AGES and i thought i was going crazy.
Im not even 100% certain the movie im searching for is the same he's searching for, but going through all the suggestions listed here has been fun. I find myself hoping i come across some obscure movie that ends up being exactly what he has been seeking, even if its not the same lol

MASTER OF HORROR (1965) has 3 Poe tales- one which is the Cask of Amontilldo -

https://youtu.be/OaQj6YsQQnY?si=0MB808r-Q_B4Yys8

Its been stated here a few times, the movie we are looking for is not The Cask of Amontillado, nor The Black Cat, or The Pit and the Pendulum. I will keep looking though, its out there somewhere :)
