In 15th century England, the power-hungry Duke of Gloucester plots to usurp the throne from his weak brother, King Edward IV. To achieve his aims, he employs dark magic and ruthless murder, including the elimination of his own nephews, the Princes in the Tower. As his reign of terror unfolds, he is haunted by the ghosts of his victims and the dark forces he has unleashed.
Tower of London was met with mixed reviews, with many critics praising Vincent Price's performance and Roger Corman's direction on a limited budget.

Vincent Price's character in this film is Richard III, who was also portrayed by Price in the 1939 film of the same name. This 1962 version, however, leans more into the horror and fantasy elements with a supernatural twist.
