THE VINCENT PRICE THREAD.....
 

I only discovered From a Whisper to a Scream a couple of months back. Brilliant, a really enjoyable anthology.

I didn't vote for it though as whilst Vincent is in it i wouldn't class it as a Vincent Price film.

That's just me though. ;)

Lots of great films here, although I only voted for my absolute favourites (I would be close to checking them all otherwise!)

House of Wax
The Last Man on Earth
Witchfinder General
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
Dr. Phibes Rises Again
Theatre of Blood
Madhouse

Tough call for me between Witchfinder General and Theatre of Blood.

But I reckon Theatre just edges it!

I love Pricey great on screen presence and charisma in everything he did. Always came across as a fun loving and humble person in interviews never taking himself too serious. Without stating the obvious that voice of his was amazing.

I limited myself to my 5 favourite VP movies.:pop2:

Pit and the pendulum
Masque of red death
Theatre of death
Witchfinder general
Monster club
( i know monster club is a bit dodgy but i've always loved it since i was a kid and Price's speech about humans being monsters is great.:nod:)

Spot on Nord.

As I said about Thriller,legends though they were,Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee just didn't have the same menacing voice.

Shouldn't be too long hopefully before Masque of the Red Death is released elsewhere than Germany.:pray:

Diary of a Madman is well worth a watch.

Anyone else seen it?

Percy's Progress [Blu-ray]

I imagine this was the pinnacle of Mr Price's career....

I rather enjoyed Percy's Progress. Bought the Network dvd last year. It was part of my Christmas marathon and made a refreshing change from horror and CGI nonsense.

If i recall Harry H Corbett played the PM. :woot:

Has one hell of a cast as well!

£3 well spent on the blu ray then....:thankingyou:

Most definitely. :clap:

I've seen Diary R ... needs a rewatch though. Did like though.

I've seen a bit of VP recently and always the sensation is of relief. Maybe it's my age, but he was always there, always forlorn and festooned in cobwebs, always ....

And then he'd turn up on Aspel or whatever plugging a cookery book!
Price-less :rolleyes:
Ahem. A legend.

He's the best thing in it. There. I said it :lol:

Vincent Price, leaving a sweet shop with a Barrett Liquorice Sherbet Fountain (or maybe a Toblerone), and possibly a bag full of '99' Ice Cream Cones, during a break in the filming of 'The Witchfinder General' in Suffolk in October 1967

the stuff in the bag are definitely Liquorice Sherbet Dib Dabs. can't make out what is in his right hand but i don't think its Toblerone

One of the best introductions to a movie House on haunted Hill.

Whilst channel hopping today I watched a little of Talking Pictures on BBC2 which was featuring Dame Judi Dench. I was astonished by one interview snippet where Dame Judi revealed that her favourite way to wind down after a stage performance was to watch Vincent Price in the House of Usher.

Bless her cotton socks, Dame Judi knows great acting when she sees it...
