Moscow's main attraction for the Communist faithful is the Lenin Tomb in Red Square. Every day, thousands of visitors walk silently past the glass and granite crypt, stare reverently at the dimly lit, waxy-looking corpse guarded by rigid soldiers, then file back into the sunlight. Last week Soviet officials announced that the mausoleum would be closed for the next two months. "Normal repairs," was the explanation. But on what-or whom...

They seldom have to wait long. At 39, Corman has made more than 70 movies. The best-known are his macabre, shimmering little quickies gleaned from the works of Edgar Allan...
