i mean i didn't ask and idk if there's commentary but i've seen it brought up a couple times. he's very much sassier than i'd expect from a vincent price performance.
Geoffry Rush. Captain Barbosa from the pirates franchise but to me he'll always be the guy doing a fun Vincent Price (or as another anon said John Waters) impression for the House on Haunted Hill remake. It's one of my favorite horror films. It's decent enough, seemed like everyone at least tried to give a shit when they made it.
Fucking incredible actor with a heart of gold and a passion for horror. Truly a one of a kind guy that I absolutely love. I think Bill Hader can be a bit cringe but a respect that he single handedly forced SNL to run multiple Vincent Price-centric skits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbiLanj8EuI
>The production went relatively smoothly except for the unrelentingly antagonistic relationship that developed between Reeves and Price. Reeves told everyone associated with the production that the American actor was not his choice for the role, and the director's comments had reached the actor back in the US. Reeves refused the courtesy of meeting Price at Heathrow Airport when he arrived in England, a "deliberate snub calculated to offend both Price and AIP".[13] "Take me to your goddamn young genius", Price reportedly said to co-producer Philip Waddilove, who greeted the actor at the airport instead of Reeves.[28] When Price went on location and met Reeves for the first time, the young director told the actor, "I didn't want you, and I still don't want you, but I'm stuck with you!"[29]
>According to Kim Newman in his book, Nightmare Movies, when Reeves made a suggestion on the set, Price objected and told the director: "I've made 87 [sic] films. What have you done?" And Reeves responded: "I've made three good ones."[30] Price later recalled that this was one of the first movies where he clashed with the director.[31] Price felt that all the actors on the set had a difficult time with the director, explaining: "Michael Reeves could not communicate with actors. He would stop me and say, 'Don't move your head like that.' And I would say, 'Like what? What do you mean?' He'd say, 'There—you're doing it again. Don't do that'." Price reportedly became so upset with Reeves that he refused to watch the film's dailies.[28]
>In one scene, Reeves needed Price to shoot his flintlock between the ears of the horse he was riding. When Price realised that Reeves had ordered that an actual blank charge was to be used so the weapon's puff of smoke would be visible, he shouted, "What? You want the gun to go bang between the ears of this fucking nag? How do you think he's going to react?"; however, Reeves insisted and, when the gun went off, the horse reared and sent Price tumbling onto the ground. Price was not hurt but he was extremely angered by the incident.[32]
>On the final day of shooting, Price showed up on the set visibly intoxicated. Reeves seethed to Waddilove, "He's drunk—how dare he be drunk on my set! I'll kill the bastard." Waddilove soon discovered that Reeves planned to inflict painful revenge on the actor. During preparations for Price's violent death scene, the director was overheard instructing Ogilvy to "really lay into Vincent" with the stage axe. When the scene was filmed, Ogilvy responded with blows that were not faked, but Waddilove had fitted Price's costume with padding, protecting the actor from injury.[33]
>Despite the tension between the two men during the production, when Price saw the film the following year, he admitted that he understood Reeves's artistic vision and wrote the young director a ten-page letter praising the film. Reeves wrote Price back, "I knew you would think so." Years after Reeves's death, Price said, "I realised what he wanted was a low-key, very laid-back, menacing performance. He did get it, but I was fighting him almost every step of the way. Had I known what he wanted, I would have cooperated."[28]
Interesting details. Random fact I learned last year, Reeves first film was assistant director on Castle of the Dead, which was Donald Sutherland's first feature film. Donald went on to name his son after the films main directors, Warren Kiefer.
You can assume at least, say, half of the actors you know are gay or bi, but only a very tiny fraction of them are on the same level of talent, charm and presence of Vincent Price
Their charm remains engaging and interesting but character are now often written in excessively "gritty" ways
[...]
Vincent was a great example of a real homosexual. Like Alexander the Great or Socrates. Not a femme homosexual like now days, just a gentleman who liked sticking his peepee in another gentleman's poopoo.
Yes. He exuded class above all and had a likable demeanor that seemed sociable and also expressed itself in his many tv interviews. There's nothing shrill about him

Watched the original house on haunted hill the other day and though the film was pretty shit, overall it was kino solely for Price's performance, his ability to elevate productions with his presence is amazing
The scene where Charles Heston has Vincent Price in a head lock and says "kill me master butcher" (or something like that) and Vincent Price gives him that look of shock and terror and replies "Moses!" Is one of the best lines in movie history
Simple but powerful
love this guy
He's great
Getting close to Halloween season too. Can't wait to marathon all his movies
The season's coming bros
Seek comfy shelter
Vincent Price must have been fun to work with
You can tell by that recording he really enjoyed the work he did
Yes, and the beautifully nonchalant way in which he does it in the first take is pure charm+talent
these niggas zesty/moist/etc
He's a pretty great actor. Like a Walton Goggins or something, even shit is elevated just by his presence.
i unironically love the geoffrey rush haunted hill AND the 1999 haunting with owen wilson. kino year for schlock.
I can't remember the name of the actor in your picture but he does look a lot like Vincent Price
supposedly he was aiming for john waters
Really?
i mean i didn't ask and idk if there's commentary but i've seen it brought up a couple times. he's very much sassier than i'd expect from a vincent price performance.
also jeffrey combs sneaks in as ghost doctor.

What's cool is even his character's surname in the film is Price
Where would Maurice LaMarche’s voice acting career be without having Vincent to impersonate.
based and pricepilled
>october is 2 weeks away
Saw him in The Ten Commandments the other month, was totally unexpected but he gives a kino performance.

So, in the original version of Game of Thrones, it was Tyrion, not Bran Stark, that Jamie Lannister chucks off the tower!
Him doing an impromtu read of his thriller lines is fucking K I N O
Damn never seen this, the dude really loved his place in the horror world, RIP buddy.
>that laugh at the end
made me smile, thanks for posting anon
Impromptu is the wrong term but that shit is certified kino for sure. You can tell he's absolutely loving his cackle at the end.
Vincent Price? I thought he was dead.
more like Vincent 'will suck your dick for the right' Price
You can assume at least, say, half of the actors you know are gay or bi, but only a very tiny fraction of them are on the same level of talent, charm and presence of Vincent Price
what ever happened to actors like, gary cooper?
Their charm remains engaging and interesting but character are now often written in excessively "gritty" ways
Yes. He exuded class above all and had a likable demeanor that seemed sociable and also expressed itself in his many tv interviews. There's nothing shrill about him
You're the only homosexual here bud
Vincent was a great example of a real homosexual. Like Alexander the Great or Socrates. Not a femme homosexual like now days, just a gentleman who liked sticking his peepee in another gentleman's poopoo.
Vincent Rice
Watched the original house on haunted hill the other day and though the film was pretty shit, overall it was kino solely for Price's performance, his ability to elevate productions with his presence is amazing
>was pretty shit,
It's a camp/comedy horror classic.
I agree in a meta sense, for the reason I described. I don't think it was a good movie but I absolutely would recommend it
It's the kind of movie I would put on at a party. If I had ever hosted a party.
Their nothing shit about that movie it's top notch entertainment
Just when you think The Ten Commandments couldn't get any better, Vincent appears and elevates it even further. He's a treat in everything.
His villainous Baka (!) adds a layer of (often silent) commentary to several scenes with his expressions
The scene where Charles Heston has Vincent Price in a head lock and says "kill me master butcher" (or something like that) and Vincent Price gives him that look of shock and terror and replies "Moses!" Is one of the best lines in movie history
