Twice-Told Tales	comment	Twice-Told Tales is a 1963 American anthology horror film directed by Sidney Salkow, featuring three stories based on the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Vincent Price narrates and appears in all three segments, while the supporting cast includes Sebastian Cabot, Brett Halsey, Beverly Garland, Richard Denning and Joyce Taylor.In "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment", an elderly doctor attempts to restore himself, his fiancÃ©e, and his best friend to youth. In "Rappaccini's Daughter", a demented father inoculates his daughter with poison so she may never leave her garden of poisonous plants. In "The House of the Seven Gables", the Pyncheon family suffers from a hundred-year-old curse and the Pyncheon brother returns to his home to search for a hidden vault. (Price had previously costarred in a feature adaptation of "Gables" in 1940.)
