  The Mood of "The Conqueror Worm"
In the poem "The Conqueror Worm," Edgar Allan Poe compares life to a play, supporting Shakespeare's idea that "all the world's a stage." With Poe's idea, however, angels are the audience while humans are the puppets, who "come and go/ At the bidding of vast formless things" (12-13).
In the end, all of the puppets fall and "the Conqueror Worm," or death, is the victor.
The falling action occurs in the last stanza, where death, or the Worm, turns out to be the ultimate victor, ruining the tragic race Man. The lights are turned out and the curtain, or the "funeral pall" of the species of man, comes down (35).

 MMI Review: The Conqueror Worm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
I've mentioned on MOVIE MAGAZINE (on air) that Vincent Price's greatest role was that of Matthew Hopkins in "The Conqueror Worm." A couple of friends have asked me about the movie, and, since it's one of my ten favorite horror movies, I thought it time I got around to reviewing it.
Made in 1968, "The Conqueror Worm," known as "Witchfinder General" in the UK, was the last movie made by twenty-four year-old horror-movie genius, Michael Reeves.
Reeves supposedly killed himself soon after making "The Conqueror Worm." Judging by the depressingly bleak sense of powerless despair that saturates this movie the way tears saturate a widow's veil, I don't doubt he did himself in.

The Conqueror Worm is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe about human mortality and the inevitability of death.
The title and some lines for the poem were borrowed for a 1968 motion picture from American International Pictures also called The Conqueror Worm, also known by the title Matthew Hopkins: Witchfinder General.
The Conqueror Worm is also both the name of the fifth Hellboy graphic novel and the monster from space which is brought to earth in it.

 Hellboy: Conqueror Worm Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Conqueror Worm is more a character study than an epic battle between good and evil — though there is still quite a bit of the latter.
Conqueror Worm employs a smaller cast than previous Hellboy adventures.
Final Word: Hellboy: Conqueror Worm does not tell a superior or terribly memorable story, but it is far from a simple action yarn.

 The Conqueror Worm: Study Guide
Whether the worm is an evil creature that swallows sinful man into hell is open to interpretation.
It is interesting to note that Poe’s “The Conqueror Worm” presents a gory drama that foreshadowed Grand Guignol plays.
Poe's gigantic, blood-red worm with deadly jaws was, of course, a creation of his macabre imagination.

 Conqueror Worm (aka Witchfinder General)
Michael Reeves short life produced three terrific horror films, the last of which was "The Conqueror Worm," also known as "Witchfinder General." Each of his films had a horror legend in its cast: Price in "Conqueror," Boris Karloff in "The Sorcerers" and Barbara Steele in "She Beast." All three also starred Ogilvy.
Of the three, "Sorcerers" is my favorite, but "The Conqueror Worm" ranks as a very solid later horror effort from Price, with a surprising amount of nudity.
With no supernatural elements to speak of, "Conqueror" is as much an historical drama as a horror film.

The Conqueror Worm is a textbook example of a movie's potential prospects as an acknowledged classic being wrecked by the stupidity of critics and the cynical manipulations of a distributor underestimating the intelligence of American viewers.
Distributed by AIP in America as "The Conqueror Worm" and purportedly "based on the writing of Edgar Allan Poe", the film got buried by disinterested US critics who incorrectly passed it off as simply another addition to the increasingly tiresome Poe fare being churned out by AIP, Roger Corman and others.
In fact, The Conqueror Worm has nothing to do with Edgar Allan Poe and was not even made by the AIP studio either.

The Conqueror Worm, though borrowing from Poe and a few others as well, is no exception to the Lovecraftian rule.
You can see this in the way Mikey has managed to prefect his style, in everything from the foreboding ways he drips shadows into pictures to the means by which he manages to places something sinister within each and every storyline.
Great if read in sequence with the rest of the series but also stand on its own two feet, Conqueror Worm can not be spoken of highly enough in my opinion.

 The Conqueror Worm, Religion
The ant is controlled by the worm, which, equally unconscious of purpose, maneuvers the ant into place.
People will sacrifice their interests, their health, their reason, their family, all in service to an idea "that has lodged in their brains." That idea, he argues, is like a virus or a worm, and it inspires bizarre forms of behavior in order to propagate itself.
Islam, he points out, means "submission," and submission is what religious believers practice.
