In 1963, the motion-picture version of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward was released by American International Pictures as The Haunted Palace. The events are placed in a nineteenth-century New England village.
Charles Ward and Joseph Curwen are played by Vincent Price, who as Ward slowly transforms into his own greatgreat-grandfather. Lon Chaney, Jr. appears as Curwen's hideously deformed assistant. The picture was directed by Roger Corman, a veteran of the horror film genre. The whole picture is very silly and has the cliche ambiguous ending — has Curwen really been vanquished?
