      all great horror actors had a wonderful turn of pharase, voice: Karloff, Lugosi, Lorre, Rathbone, (Price of course), Lee, Cushing, Donald Pleasence, - and they all had a wicked sense of humor. Morgan Freeman's is like stale wonder bread compared to those.
      Actors who had a shot at playing a Disney Villain / or other iconic villain : have a shot there as well : Hans Conried, Verna bloom, Eleanor Audley, James Earl Jones (also check out his Tulsa Doom), James Woods, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Hopkins,
      they could read the telephone book and it would sell tickets.

      Here's a little secret: there are a few things Humor and Horror have in common:
      Timing
      Pacing
      Tension and Release
      Subversion
      Surprise
      The two genres appear to be vastly different, but they are as close as Professor Quirrel and Voldemort.

    My brother and I were friends with the manager of the Lexington KY opera house in the mid 70’s. He was friends with Vincent Prices PR man. When Price did his one man show “Diversions and Delights” playing Oscar Wilde in Lexington, our friend hosted a dinner party and Price and his PR man came! We all sat around the couch listening to Vincent tell stories. It was a magical night. I have a signed playbill and a signed poster from Price. I will never forget that night!

    • @moeball740
      @moeball740 Před měsícem +157

      I also saw Diversions and Delights bitd! The best story about Vincent Price that I've heard was from Richard O'Brien, who not only played Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Richard actually wrote the story and the songs. He basically is the creator of the Rocky Horror phenomenon. At any rate, before Rocky Horror became a popular movie, it was a very successful stage production. On opening night in London, however, no one had any idea about how amazing it would be. Richard O'Brien stood in the wings on stage looking out at the crowd in the theater, nervously waiting for the show to start, wondering whether all the work he had put into "his baby" would pay off. The lights went down, here we go! Just then a thunderstorm was going on outside, adding to the ambience, "it was a dark and stormy night". According to Richard, when the house lights went down, the theatre became dark, and just at that moment a flash of lightning happened outside! There was a skylight in the ceiling over the audience, and when the lightning flashed it illuminated a few seats directly underneath the skylight. Richard could easily identify who was sitting there, illuminated by the lightning, and it was none other than Vincent Price! Richard said he smiled at that point and took it as a sign that things were going to work out fine, as if his horror creation had just been blessed by the master of horror himself!

    I used to be a Butler for one of Mr. Price's closest friends, and he and his wife, Coral Browne, would come for dinner quite frequently. He was truly THE Nicest person I've ever met in my life. The first time I met him he reached into his coat pocket to pull out a pen because he was sure I was walking up to him to ask for his autograph. He was totally caught off guard when I said: "Hello, I'm "So and So", and you are...?" He laughed so hard as he exhaled a sigh of relief and said: "Oh thank God. How do you do? I'm Vincent". He honestly had no ego at all.

    I seem to remember Michael Parkinson asking him how he felt about his career as an actor. I was an actor? said Price. " I was a ham dear boy. I was a ham". Of course he was so much more. Love him.

    Vincent Price always seemed like a guy that would be delightful to just hang out with. He and Tony Randall might be the greatest talk show guests of ALL TIME.

    Met him at lunch at Spirit Square in Charlotte NC before his show. Delightful person, and he allowed me to give him a kiss of the cheek.

      💖🥲Oh my, that must have been an amazing moment! It brought back a treasured memory of my grandmother telling us how she met Peter Falk in Charlotte!! It was in an elevator & she always got giddy bragging that he let her give him a hug!🥰 I've been a big Columbo fan most of my adult life because of that!💖

      ​@@rushfan1970 You may like a Peter Falk film called "The cheap detective" it's a spoof of the 1930s and 40s detective movies and is very silly (in a goud way).

    His daughter was in my class at college.
    I saw him at one of the parent weekend receptions and he was just beaming, such a proud father. Very personable with everyone. You could tell he was just a lovely man.

    I met him in the mid 70s and he was a charming polite, welcoming chap and very witty. I was visiting a friend in a show in London and he came into her dressing room and bent over to shake my hand. "Dr Phibes shook my hand!" Unforgettable!

    Micheal actually offered him a percentage of Thrillers sales, or a 20,000 flat fee. Vincent chose the 20,000.
    He is so charming. I'd listen to him read the phone book...
    May he Rest in Peace.

    Gotta Love Vincent! He was an unmistakable character. His refined “evil” demeanor was irresistible to millions of people worldwide. And the song “Thriller” was pure genius to have Vincent Price on it. I can’t imagine that anyone else could have even been considered in that role. Definitely an iconic moment in music history!
