    Happy Birthday, Vincent Price: In Memoriam

    Today would have been the 100th birthday of Vincent Price.

    Pause in your week-end to celebrate the centennial of this funny, gentle actor, bon vivant, & scholar.

    Check out Egghead, Price Prospero, Dr. Phibes, or "The Whales of August."

    TCM should have shown some of his films.

      He could make a good movie scary without using the gross out factor.Didn't always need blood and gore.

          He was a great actor, a kind man and true gentleman. Someone to be admired.

          Christopher Lee turned 90 this month...

          Btw, that Vincent Price artwork is fantastic!

                  Always been a fan. Horror, Edgar Allan Poe, Batman, ... he was involved with everything I like

                      ^Me, too--absolutely my favorite character actor.

                      And capable of fine dramatic work, too (Mostly for Fox, where he was under contract):

                      Laura

                      Leave Her to Heaven

                      Houseof the Seven Gables

                      Song of Bernadette

                      Dragonwyck

                      Baron of Arizona

                      While the City Sleeps

                      The Whales of August

                          I'm almost ashamed to say I knew him best from Batman, and the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo for years. A fine actor, perhaps over-typecast, but he never seemed to mind much.

                          They don't make them like that anymore.

                              The Abominable Dr. Phibes is on my top-10-list of cherished films. I've seen it dozens of times--very funny, beautifully designed.


                              Fright-wise, his turn as the decaying M. Valdemar in "Tales of Terror" really terrified me--I remember sleeping on my parents' floor when I first saw it. Now of course, his makeup just looks like butterscotch syrup lol.
