One of My Favorite Actors: Vincent Price

[TheHobbyist]

One of my favorite actors that I don't hear much about anymore.

His early work included Film Noir (ex: Laura); and I really enjoyed the 1958 horror film,"The Fly"; and the "House on Haunted Hill" is a personal favorite too.

Anyone else enjoy his films or the genre?

My kids remember him most for his monologue in Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

Check out His Kind of Woman. Vincent Price, Jane Russell and Robert Mitchum. Kind of a Film Noir movie with a lot of gun play.

Good Man.

I remember one of his monumental, long forgotten achievements. Circa 1950/1970, He, correlated the efforts of California's Churches, hospitals, physicians, and vintners, to prescribe wine, as a medicine to give patients, especially cancer patients an apatite. This he admirably achieved.

He was also a superb actor.

He scared the **** out of me when I was a Ute.

He played some great scary characters but could also play it for a laugh. I saw him in some cameos on comedy shows. He was very talented. He did a good job across from Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands. He was also one of the bad guys on the 60's Batman tv show.
He did it all.

A favorite of mine for years. Kept me scared as a child.

I liked his intro to Alice Cooper's song "Black Widow"! I can't count how many times I listened to it as a teen.

 

[kraynky]

I listen to the Radio Classics quite a bit on the Sirius XM radio in truck. and his voice is completely "unmistakable". His "moving pictures" are unique as well.

If you can find it, he did an early WWII film, focused on the fall of the Philippines, I believe, that was his favorite. It's a good flick. I think I found it on Youtube or something.

I'll second "His Kind of Woman", Vincent Price is great. The movie as a whole is good, great cast.

I also remember Vincent Price as the host of "Mystery" on PBS in the 1980's. His intro's to the programs were great, I wish they were available on DVD.

Let's not forget that Vincent Price also curated an art collection you could buy from Sear's. He was a man of many talents.

He was the best "Last Man on Earth". You're stinking up the joint, Chuck Heston and Will Smith.

Mom has two of his cookbooks. He knew his way around the kitchen.

I had a bachelor uncle who took me to see House on Haunted Hill at the theater in 1959. I was 6 years old. In the movie, when the skeleton came out of the vat of acid, the theater had rigged a skeleton on a wire that flew out over the crowd. Scared the you-know-what outta me. I don't think I recovered till I was about 15!

 

[Grayfox]

Aside from his great movie roles, I remember him quite well on the original Hollywood Squares TV show. The man had a very sharp and quick wit.

 

[kenjen]

I though his
''Dr. Phibes'' movies were his better works
