Karloff's entrance is so memorable! He strolls (or limps) through the dungeon and makes subtle adjustments to all the torture devices to ramp up the pain a notch or two on the already suffering victims! If the movie could have sustained that tone and that type of imagery it coulda been a contender!

Yeah, I suspect that's what Anthony Perkins was referring to in that quote that Weaver posted... Karloff's Mord is like a fussy chef inspecting his kitchen. I thought it was also interesting that he had this network of informers, spies, and agitators made up London riffraff, sort of like a secret police apparat to serve Richard.

What's the Vincent Price-as-Richard version like? Do they do away with the Mord character all together?
