Pretty much everything I've ever heard about Vincent Price is he was most likely an absolute gem of a person to talk to & be around. I bet he would've loved the horror convention scene had he been able to see them rise in popularity & attend them.

He's probably at the top of the list of people I wish I could have met before he died. He seemed like a class act and brought instant charm and charisma to anything he was in, elevating even bad scripts to fun watches. There just aren't a lot of actors like him in my opinion.
His daughter still goes to conventions with loads of stories to tell about her dad. She's supposed to come to one out here in October, and that's panel I would love to attend.
Really? I had no idea. That'd be pretty cool to listen to her tell stories. The panel wouldn't be long enough. Haha
He has actually admitted that he was queer to Victoria Price.
He apparently admitted it before she even knew she was a lesbian.
Hahaha, I don't know if that's a positive or negative vibe.
I still remember back in film school; I took a class of Kubrick & I got assigned Eyes Wide Shut. Ended up writing a 30 page thesis on that movie. Thankfully, it's an easy movie to drone on & on about.
It's an acquired taste. Blood and this movie.
This guy is totally just reading his lines off a cue card below camera isn't he? Hahah

Anytime I see Britt Ekland, That Wicker Man song stays stuck in my head for a while. And I don't mind it one bit.
I had no idea. How hard must that have been?
It's sad that he even had to hide it, but being real had he come out at any point in his lifetime he would have been ostracized. That's extremely depressing to me. As someone who wasn't always so knowledgeable about anything that wasn't cisgendered and white, it makes me feel even more ashamed that people are still mistreated for who they love or how they express themselves,etc.
Big virtual hugs/hi fives or whatever from me to anyone that's ever felt like they were less than here because of who they are.
Ok sorry…. back to movie.
Yeah. It's still a great movie. But it is one of Stanley Kubrick's that people don't get.
It's trips me out that this movie came out the same year as Halloween II & Pleasence looks a lot younger than in H2. I always get caught off guard by him out of the Loomis role.
Vincent Price is a queer icon to me. I wouldn't even know who I was if it it wasn't for him.
I now require that any anthology horror films have full musical interludes. It makes the film really fun.
When this came out, I know Silent Hill wasn't a thing, but come on sir, you don't just drive into fog like that.

Price gleefully reciting how horribly monstrous humans are is a beautiful work of dark humor.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact sort of thing after many a Friday night's at horror cons.
I missed all but that last musical act of The Monster Club 'cause I was out seeing Crimes of the Future, but I'm in for whatever is up next.

Gonna have to catch the upload of the second movie. Getting tired & got an early morning.
Keep rocking on, Mutant Fam!

Later y'all. I do not like Hellbender at all, so I'm going to call it an early night to recover from a hellacious week.
Until next time fellow mutants!

Yep, never heard of it before, but it looks like my jam, which is to say,
LOL this is a pretty great way of looking at horror stuff for me too
