Vincent Price Top Ten Horror Films

Vincent Price was such a wonderful man. An actor, chef and art lover.

[toddwebb]

No actor could fill his shoes. His eyes and voice...I will never forget.

[thomasthomas]

My favorite Price horror film is, hands down, "Theater of Blood". The theater where I worked as an usher, held it over for three solid weeks. Every night, I delighted in the reactions of the audience to every scene. And, no matter how graphic the scene (Merridew forced to eat his "babies"), everyone was solidly behind Lionheart and probably thought about their own revenge scenarios against bosses, ex-lovers, and the rest ("I'll kill you when I am ready. Next week, next month, perhaps next year!")
The fact that Price was having such obvious fun in playing the part just made you root for him all the more.
God Bless You, Vincent, for all of the joy you brought us.

[hneugiii]

Price's range was endless. Let's not forget he could even convince the audience without being on camera. He is, without a doubt, the star performer in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective as the evil Ratigan.

[lallancashire]

Vincent Price is one of the Unholy Three of the greatest post-war horror genre superstars alongside Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. He also links to the original horror classic stars after receiving his baptism in the original Tower of London. Such great films - all the Poe films by Corman he starred in are all beautiful classics, Houses of Wax and Haunted Hill and Witchfinder and Tingler and definitely the two Phibes movies and perhaps best of all the superlative Theatre of Blood. Vinny was quite simply superb 👍

[morgangallowglass]

That voice, that VOICE. He could read a phone book and I would listen and watch with intense joy!

[wayneashford]

Got to actually meet him in 1980 during his promotion of his gourmet cook book:
The man was a true gentleman

[ramonapetermann]

I love Vincent Price since my earliest childhood, I am 66 now. He was a great actor and a very nice person. So sad he had so many health issues in his later years, but he lived his life to the fullest, and his fans loved and love him dearly. R.I.P.

[corywilliams]

Robin, as a lifelong fan of Vincent Price, thank you for this!

[benderbendingrodriguez]

Phibes is such an underrated classic of Price films. Well done DCR. There will never be another like Vincent Price, truly one of a kind

[frankmartin]

As amazing as he is in horror, the sublime performance he turns in for “Laura” made me reevaluate his acting. He is masterful in that film!

[schizoidboy]

I love Dr. Phibes and Theater of Blood, both of which have horrific deaths that are fun to watch. One interesting point of fact was Vincent Price hosted the series called "Mystery" which showcased British mysteries and thrillers. When he left the series he recommended Diana Rigg to be his replacement, she was his co-star in Theater of Blood where she played his devoted daughter.

[snowysnowyriver]

I'm 71 years old and grew up on a diet of Vincent Prince films because my parents were fans. The peers of his generation were outstandingly impressive, but there was something different and something special about Vincent Price. He was totally unique. Thank you for this video. It's good to see Mr Price is still recognised.

[christopherwilson]

To me there are 3 actors who always class up whatever movie or TV show they're in: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. I'd watch them sitting around waiting for their clothes to dry. The conversation would be amazing.

[tonk]

Both Price and Cushing were the definite horror actors. Classy, versatile, GREAT actors that could play anything, and with a great sense of humour. My two main horror icons.

[matthewh.]

Red Death was probably his greatest movie performance. Mind you Fall of Usher was pretty amazing..

[garyfallows]

I remember him being interviewed on a talk show, he said one of his favourite things was to go to the cinema to watch his own films, he would sit behind people and at the end of the film he would lean forward and say in that trademark voice 'Did you enjoy that', he said their reaction was priceless, a giant of an actor and sadly missed

[mlbrooks]

I was in a law school class, in the building next to the cemetery where Edgar Allan Poe is buried, when the professor suddenly said, "Vincent Price is in the graveyard!" And he was. Not everybody can say actually saw Vincent Price in a graveyard.

[ArizonaJoeHines]

I had the privilege to see Vincent Price do a one-man show, Diversions and Delights. at Ford's Theater in Washington, DC. He portrayed Oscar Wilde giving a lecture post-Reading gaol. Great show. It's available on YouTube.

[bensneb]
