Случай Чарльза Декстера Варда
In 1963, the poem provided the title for a Roger Corman film of the same name. The actual plot of Corman's film "The Haunted Palace" comes almost entirely from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", a novel by H. P. Lovecraft. By 1963, Corman had produced several highly lucrative films based on Poe's work, but Lovecraft was not at that time a well-known author; according to Corman on the DVD making-of featurette, the studio forced him to name this movie after one of Poe's poems (and included a Poe epigraph in the credits) so that audiences would believe it to be another film based on Poe's writings.
