Tossup

A character based on one created by this author gives a television interview where he describes his vision of the devil as a young girl dressed in white. In that film based on this author’s work, an alcoholic actor works on an Italian film so that he can receive a Ferrari, which a slow zoom on a thin wire later reveals he has been decapitated while driving. Federico Fellini was among the directors who loosely adapted this author’s works for the anthology film (*) Spirits of (10[1])the Dead. A series of films based on this author’s works began when a director combined AIP’s budget for two black-and-white horror films to make a single film in color. That film based on a story by this author ends with the collapse of a building containing a woman and her brother, played by Vincent Price. For 10 points, give this author whose stories inspired a cycle of eight Roger Corman films, including House of Usher. ■END■
