Ah damn. This is really feeling like the end of an era for us classic horror/monster kids. His Poe cycle is spectacular, but of course his most significant legacy is the opportunities he gave to young filmmakers and actors. Hollywood and the world in general would be a better place with more Roger Cormans.
Dark Corners Reviews has a great video on him -

RIP! While he made some enjoyable films, and also produced a number of classics, The Intruder is a great film.

Tower of London was probably the first horror movie I ever saw when I was a little kid (on TCM in a hotel) and a couple of its scenes are seared into my brain. It wasn't until very recently that I've been delving into Corman's body of work and it's been a joy discovering it, especially his Poe adaptations. I can't wait to see more. Rest in peace sir.

If anyone hasn't seen it, "Corman's World" is a fantastic documentary and his own memoir is worth a read. I got emotional when he walked up on Cannes stage last year and got a standing ovation. Remarkable person, a legend. RIP.

What an absolute fucking king. His own movies are something in their own right, and the amount he accomplished with the little at his disposal in some of those early ones was a thing to witness. You add the influence he had and the help he gave to that golden generation a half-century ago on top of that, and it just carries him higher in the pantheon. One of the absolute all-time greats. What a life.

Damn, RIP legend. One of the GOATs, as far as I’m concerned.

Was that him I saw a week ago? He looked familiar... Santa Monica and all.
Farewell,my man. He's had a long life, And you could tell he was from the Hitchcock tree. That era is indeed nearly all gone. Some classics off the top of my head he has are Masque of Red Death, Pit and the Pendulum, The Trip, and The House of Usher.
