Your Favourite Vincent Price Horror Film?
 
Mine would have to be 'The Last Man On Earth'.

What about you?

Lochnar 01-28-2010 01:03 AM

Damn you took my answer!

Saya 01-28-2010 01:09 AM

Good choice. I'm going to go with House On Haunted Hill. Its cheesy and silly but I love how funny and suave Vincent is in it, he's my favourite actor because he always could take a stupid script and make it work. Look at the Roger Corman Poe movies, they sucked if Vincent wasn't in them. Well, sucked a lot more.

Lochnar 01-28-2010 02:05 AM

My second fav, as my first was mentioned by the OP already, is The Fly.

freakinsheena 01-28-2010 02:15 AM

hi. may i know if how can you make your own thread?

Cosmicgaunt 01-28-2010 02:18 AM

The Bat, is also one of his lesser known films that I particularly like.

Lochnar 01-28-2010 02:21 AM

And the Raven is good, but not so much horror.

Bloodflowers 01-30-2010 05:43 PM

Dr. Phibes!... especially the first one.

Eh, its basically Murder, She Wrote. With Vincent Price!

On a somewhat related note, who should play Egghead in the next Batman movie?

Great flick!

That damn frog mask death scene freaked me out when I was kid. Was that in the first one?

That was indeed the first one. It always irritated me how Saw blantantly "borrowed" from the traps in Dr. Phibes...

Devil's Darling 02-03-2010 04:57 AM

Diary of a Madman = pure win

Ophelia's Snorkel 02-04-2010 10:01 AM

House of Wax, definitely. It was the first VP film I ever saw, and it got me hooked on that particular kind of melodramatic horror. Plus, it's got Carolyn Jones in it! Carolyn Jones!

Saya 02-04-2010 10:15 AM

Wasn't House Of Wax the first 3D movie? I know they have that guy with the pong ball thingy to be completely gratuitous and gimmicky, and get a LOOK AT THE EFFECTS! reaction. So its like the first Avatar?

Lochnar 02-04-2010 07:22 PM

I think the earliest was in the 1920's...but House of Wax was the first Warner Bros. 3-D flick.

Bloodflowers 02-07-2010 11:17 AM

I have a 3D copy of the original Hunchback of Notre Dame (the silent one with Lon Chaney).

paleghost 02-09-2010 04:21 PM

I'm going to have to agree with the last man on earth. The idea of Militant vampires still intrigues me.

Ben Lahnger 02-09-2010 06:07 PM

For pure building of suspense in a classic horror film, I like "The Pit and the Pendulum." But for showcasing Vincent Price's acting skills in a ghoulishly over-the-top performance, I love "The Abominable Doctor Phibes."

And for bonus points, my favorite Vincent Price performance in an internet short clip; I absolutely adore THIS!

Saya 02-09-2010 09:15 PM

Oh my mistake, House Of Wax was the first 3D colour feature from a major American studio. 3D films have been around since 1890! Wow!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Wax_(1953_film)

Hahaha, I love this bit of trivia:

Quote:

Among the scenes featured in the film that make the best use of 3-D are a museum fire, a paddleball man, and can-can girls. Ironically, the director de Toth was blind in one eye, and unable to experience stereo vision or the 3-D effects. “It’s one of the great Hollywood stories,” Price recalled. “When they wanted a director for [a 3-D] film, they hired a man who couldn’t see 3-D at all! Andre de Toth was a very good director, but he really was the wrong director for 3-D. He’d go to the rushes and say, ‘Why is everybody so excited about this?’ It didn’t mean anything to him. But he made a good picture, a good thriller. He was largely responsible for the success of the picture. The 3-D tricks just happened—there weren’t a lot of them. Later on, they threw everything at everybody.

Ophelia's Snorkel 02-10-2010 06:14 AM

That was quite interesting! Thanks, Saya, I learnt something new today.

[quote=Cosmicgaunt;597487]Mine would have to be 'The Last Man On Earth'.

Your right

Cassandra13 04-01-2010 05:51 PM

I personally like both "The Last Man on Earth" and "House on Haunted Hill". They're both my favorite of his that he starred in. Others would include Edward Scissorhands and Vincent. both by Tim Burton.

gothgrl22 04-10-2010 10:22 PM

I can't just pick one so i will have to say The last man on earth,house of wax,house on haunted hill ,vincent,Dr. phibes rises again,the abominable dr. phibes,The raven,The bat

Lord Wotton 05-11-2010 03:34 PM

I think the House of Wax as several have said, although my favourites are House on Haunted Hill and The Pit and the Pendulum. I have a thing for bad camp.

Vincent Price I adore you.

DA1 05-13-2010 03:16 PM

I liked The Tingler and Cry of the Banshee. He was great in Dr. Phibes.

Sun Wu Kong 05-16-2010 10:50 AM

I would have to go with The Tingler. Drop acid and get so scared that monsters come out of your spine? Not bad for the 50's. Plus they promoted the movie by putting vibrators in the some of the seats in the theaters so it would make more people scream. Classic stuff.

M.Valdemar 05-13-2011 10:16 PM

Tales of Terror! As in The Facts in the case of M. ...

No wait. Actually, The Comedy of Terrors. Vincent Price and Peter Lorre and superb. Too many hilarious scenes to mention.

Sinjob 05-20-2011 05:47 PM

Return of the mother fucking fly

Grausamkeit 05-21-2011 06:52 PM

I love House of Wax because it has both Vincent Price and Carolyn Jones in it! Believe it or not she plays the squeaky-voiced blond in the corset at the beginning. ;)

Beowulf 06-28-2011 04:18 PM

My favourite Vincent Price films are ...

The Abominible Dr. Phibes

Theatre Of Blood

Dr. Phibes Rises Again

Witchfinder General (always get that Cathedral song about this film in my head when I mention this film) :P

Grausamkeit,

I just bought `House Of Wax` today on DVD, and I`am really looking forwards to seeing it later !!!. :)
