I’m searching a Vincent Price movie, but I don’t know the name and the movie released year. I just know it’s from 1959 to 1967. If is possible can I receive his movies name on this date? Just the names than I`ll search the films.

Thank you

I’ve read his bio here and a few other places but I have yet to see where it mentions the fact that he did regular appearances on a Canadian show called “The Hilarious House of Frightenstein” starring Billy Van and a few – very few – others, one of them being Vincent Price. Billy Van was brilliant in this production and did most of the characters himself.

While working as Assistant Editor of Famous Monsters magazine I was luck enough to meet Vincent. First a phone conversation to discuss a book I was writing about Forrest Ackerman. Then he sent me Christmas cards every year! I was delighted. One day in 1982 he invited me to lunch in Beverly Hills at an outside café. He was his usual dapper self and we enjoyed good wine and conversation and of course talked about food. I had been a gourmet chef earlier in my life and we compared recipes. One thing he told me I’ll never forget “Watch me (I the movies) and I give a knowing wink to the camera/audience. That means I’ having the time of my life!” I told him I saw The Tingler when I was about 11 or 12. My seat was one of the few wired to vibrate when The Tingler was loose in the theatre. I must’ve jumped 10 feet in the air. He laughed and said, “Stay scared. It means you’re alive!” I was so sad when he passed away. I set a sympathy card to his family and they actually took the time to write me to thank me! I thought that was very special on their part I still miss him. He was an Icon – of the screen, art, cooking, tv and so much more. There will never be another quite like hi.

I was lucky to see him in a one man play at the American in St Louis, Missouri……
