The AVC encoded 1.67:1 aspect ratio presentation of 'Twice-Told Tales' delivers highly detailed production visuals, vibrant colors, deep black levels, and minimal wear, making for an exquisite 1080p transfer that highlights intricate set designs and costuming with preserved fine film grain and bold hues.

Audio: 42

The DTS-HD MA 2.0 audio mix of 'Twice-Told Tales' struggles with muddiness, inconsistent dialogue clarity, and persistent hiss, particularly during climactic moments and orchestral swells, though it remains a reliable asset despite its imperfections.

Extra: 41

The Blu-ray extras for 'Twice-Told Tales' include an engaging and informative commentary by film historians Richard Harland Smith and Perry Martin, a brief yet enthusiastic discussion by Mick Garris in 'Trailers From Hell,' and an HD theatrical trailer, offering fans a compact but valuable supplementary experience.

Movie: 66

"Twice-Told Tales," featuring Vincent Price, adapts Nathaniel Hawthorne's eerie stories into an omnibus film with mixed pacing and a blend of gothic misery. The Blu-ray by Kino Lorber offers a solid transfer, inviting rediscovery of these creepy tales that explore human nature’s darkest aspects rather than traditional horror.
