What is your favorite Vincent Price movie?

[businesschicken]

He did more than just acting, he was CRAZY talented.

[dmdlove]

If they were still here, this is what I want: Vincent Price and David Bowie in the same movie, directed by John Carpenter. I win.

I love Vincent Price as an actor and person. Sign of a good person is to recognize your flaws, and emphatically work to not only change your views, but to work to change the world that tought you those screwed up values. We are not born rascists, we are taught to be rascists. Love you and miss you VP.

#ThePitAndThePendulum 👏 👏 👏

[CharmingDiva]

I miss him as a, child he would do little stories on TV 📺 before cable it was so nice. His voice alone was perfect for a story

Soon after he passed a fellow actor said that they were on a shoot in the 60’s for a horror film. It was at a functioning mansion but, harsh terrain to get there. The craft truck couldn’t get there so, No food. Price had someone with a truck that could get them to town bought ingredients to make food for the cast and crew in that mansion’s kitchen.
I’m sure it wasn’t a fancy meal but, everyone was fed.

I would have loved to seen him in a Steven king film. I can just imagine what these two would have brought to the table!!!

[rasher]

''Theatre of Blood'' was my favourite film, i thought it was so sophisticated with the Shakespearean theme and the very clever the way they worked the tragic plays into the art of horror. Diana Rigg was also one of my favourite actresses of that era, a pioneer of her time.

I was so happy when I found a copy of his cookbook at a library sale about 10 years ago :)

[barbararemsen]

Such an amazing multi-faceted human being. It's as if he was living 20 life times all at once.

[seanbrewer]

It's been said that he loved his role of Egghead on the 60s Batman show, and went overboard on a scripted egg fight with giddy delight.

[rheahorvath]

Mr Price was a true Renaissance Have alot of the same interests! I greatly respected him like no other! What a Great run he had!!!! ❤️

[juliemcneely-kirwan]

I met him, briefly, after a one man show as Oscar Wilde. He was very polite and very sweet. I am glad to hear he came around to wiser and kinder views

[Whirlwind-tfmh]

Vincent Price certainly lived his life to the fullest while not falling victim narcissistic self worship, it would appear. What a guy; too bad there aren’t more celebrities in this mold!

[tedjones]

In the 70's he was in The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
It was taped in Hamilton, Ontario and starred Billy Van.
He played 80% of the characters and was a genuinely talented and funny man.
Vincent Price would spout funny scary stories in between acts.
For me it was great to see one of my favorite actors working out of Hamilton.
A lot of people miss you Mr. Price.
I hope you're scaring the hell out of Heaven.

[BobbedMcBob]

He made “The Tingler” and it was his first horror movie about a tingle thingy that crawls in people to tingle them!

[oldenweery]

Vincent Price as a guest on talk shows was always worth watching, as he was what my generation used to call "a gas!" Well, the clip of him cooking on the Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson shows it. He was a compassionate Old School School gentleman. Stay safe, everyone.
