Just found it on Amazon Prime tv. Looking forward to it, while we are still somewhat in season.
Truly a Gent. and one we will not probably find a comparable actor for in the near future.

Film tastes vary a lot. I've tried to watch a number of Vincent Price horror movies that could better be described as horrible rather than horror. If they don't show promise in the first fifteen or twenty minutes, I don't waste any more time with them.
However, Price was in some fair "B" horror films (the kind that are worth watching once), but I think his best work was in non-horror movies.

I remember seeing it as a kid and it scared the daylights out of me. I saw it a few weeks ago on in the black and white version and still loved it, but not as scary now that I am old.
This was actually the movie that made him famous. I recently saw one of his I have never seen. Can't remember the name of it but he was the last person left on earth except for the living dead that kept trying to kill him.. He is the only one that had a speaking part in the entire movie and
I wondered if this is where they got the idea for " The Walking Dead"

VP movies were great for taking dates to the drive-in.
My mom still has several of his cook books. He sure knew his way around a kitchen.

House on Haunted Hill ruined me on horror flicks for many, many years. I can still remember trying to watch it through my fingers as I covered my eyes. Super hokey today, but for a five-year-old kid in the fifties . . .

Vincent Price
My memory is sketchy, but I remember Price discovered, that wine helped rekindle, a lost appetite in cancer patients.
This happened, as I recall, when Price was fighting his lung cancer, circa 1990s.
At that time, he worked with California’s vineyards, to get California’s hospitals to offer cancer patients wine, to help with their appetite loss. The hospitals complied, it worked, and many hospitals across the country followed suit.
That I believe to be Vincent Prices’ most memorable achievement.
Sadly there is no mention of this by our historians.

Scariest movie I remember from my childhood. Love to watch it now and will be looking for the colorized version.'
Nobody plays horror movies like Vincent Price. That voice is just amazing. Wonder if that's why Michael Jackson had him in Thriller.

I just watched it again in B&W. As said, a bit hokey now but it scared the bejabbers out of me at five.
