    First two stories are good.

    The second story is the best, but the first one is good. If you watch this movie, do not bother viewing the third one, which is a shortened version of "The House of Seven Gables" with Vincent Price in the villain role [he was the hero in the much superior 1940 version].

    Other good things about this movie are the music and the sets [especially in the first tale].
