The Haunted Palace
Directed by Roger Corman. Starring Vincent Price, Debora Paget, Lon Chaney Jr.
 

This movie is a well produced adaptation of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (although the name is attributed to a work of Poe) with a fairly good acting job by veteran horror icon, Vincent Price. Not only that, but the supporting cast lends as much to the story as the leading man. Corman does a great job at presenting a legend haunted Arkham and it's degenerated denizens. (An interesting sidenote is that Daniel Haller, director of The Dunwich Horror, served as Art Director for this film.)
