a vincent price, hammer question?

[plasterface]

Just wondered if hammer ever approached Vincent Price to be in any of their films.

Price was contracted to MGM / American International for quite a while during Hammer's golden sixties period. He mainly worked in Hollywood and was an international star, whereas Hammer was very much a British institution.

On a related vibe, Price and Cushing also teamed up in bbc radio's ALIENS IN THE MIND(repeated once in a while on radio4xtra) well worth a listen, in about 6 half hour episodes. Cushing also pops up in Vincent's THE PRICE OF FEAR, another 70s bbc radio series.

I own a lot of Vincent Price's work on audio cassette and vinyl. Price of Fear series is very good indeed. Quite a lot of his radio work has not been released officially though.
