9 episodes on the show
48 moments across 22 episodes where Adam, Lee or Chris talk about Vincent Price.
For Christmas, he purchased me Vincent Price's Cooking Price-Wise BFI release on Blu-ray, which is absolutely glorious.
If anyone can make a soufflé, it's going to be Vincent Price, isn't it?
You know, he was you know, Vincent Price was a proper Renaissance man.
Absolute fucking horror icon there, because you've got Vincent Price in the title role.
You've got a cast of, apart from Vincent Price, the cast is entirely British character actors.
It was one of the core Rodger Corman Vincent Price movies.
and definitely because I I think of like Troma and Lloyd Kaufman Kaufman I tend to think of them like a sort of extreme Roger Corman. In that sort of Roger Corman made the sort of a lot of exploitation films, but he also did like Vincent Price, Edgar Allen Poe films and stuff like that.
To the Vincent Price principal?
To the Vincent Price principal?
To the Vincent Price principal?
so he's gone there to find out what's going on, only to find that it's a very strange household, and Vincent Price, who is the husband, his family have a history of torture and execution.
yeah, oh, and then it turns out that Vincent Price believes he's been haunted by said wife.
And, I don't, I don't think I recognized anyone except for Vincent Price, who again, once you know him, he could pretty much do anything and it would make a great film.
he asked for the Vincent Price, Roger Corman's.
they offered that to Vincent Price.
Like, you can see why it was kind of written for with Vincent Price in mind.
he's got that level of tongue in cheek that as you said, you'd expect from Vincent Price, like he just had it perfectly, like that air of I'm above all this and just taking it out on the staff and
Sort of three Vincent Price films in one on one disc.
So it's the Saturday Night Live Vincent Price Halloween specials.
They are fantastic, so it's Bill Hader, playing Vincent Price, and every year they do one and he has different guests.
and I rewatched Roger Corman's The Raven with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff, that's his name, wasn't it?
Especially because I know Clare's requested to see more Vincent Price and that's definitely one I've got lined up.
Yes, so and and then of course and Vincent Price as well, which you know, you probably mentioned it and I saw his name come up in the credits.
Even Vincent Price for me, even the when he was swearing.
It's only Vincent Price because literally, they won't know who Kenny Everett is, but we can sell it on the basis that Vincent Price is in it.
We could cover there's there is there is a Vincent Price episode of Columbo.
Yeah, Vincent Price is in an episode of Columbo.
And unusually, yeah, Vincent Price is the killer.
There's when they're in the cinema at the end, there's a poster on the wall for a Vincent Price film called Confessions of an Opium Eater.
But it was so stereotyped that like Vincent Price lands in San Francisco Chinatown.
well, we'll get to it, but it's a lot more monster movie Yeah, than this one is kind of, yeah. Um, yeah, so we will be discussing the 1958, uh, Vincent Price the Fly, uh, but before we get to that.
You know, I mean, it's it's a Vincent Price film from the 50s.
And Vincent Price and I'm thinking, you know, that's great, I'm looking forward to that and he was just so he's just so great throughout.
But again, I think that was the point where I was like, I mean, it looks fucking amazing, no problem, but weirdly enough, I think what Crimson Peak is missing is Vincent Price.
but then weirdly enough, I think that's probably because you need someone who's unafraid to be as big as Vincent Price.
Yeah, because she's in she's in Madhouse as well, the oh, the Vincent Price movie.
Yeah, the Peter Cushing Vincent Price one, yeah.
Vincent Price and Peter Lorre, not it is Lorre, isn't it? Yeah. And like just them doing this for the whole film.
But it has humorous elements in it and the bits with Peter Lorre and Vincent Price are really fucking humorous.
Yeah, I mean, he's fighting with with Vincent Price.
Although it did look like Vincent Price might have might have taken a bit of a swipe.
Vincent Price was an animal lover, so I'd imagine he didn't have too much worry with that.
Apart from Mask of the Red Death, I can get all the Corman Poe Vincent Price films.
On our fourth out in, I think we agreed of Roger Corman, Vincent Price movies.
I managed to line up a photograph of me standing exactly where Vincent Price would have been when the young lady rides in on her horse.
I went on like a Vincent Price, Roger Coleman, I had to own them all.
Well, it'd be it not only that, but also it'd be real fun for Claire because my God, that girl loves Vincent Price.
He's our, is that resident Vincent Price?
