Oh god yes. Even the older him as an old, grizzled version of the character. It would be far, far to good of a thing to ever come into existence in a modern movie though, sadly.... >_
Byron Orpheus in the Venture Bros (who is a stand-in for Dr. Strange) is also a more obvious homage to Vincent. From his appearance to even the fact his music cues sound like they came from Roger Corman 'Poe films.
Vincent Price was so classy, yet so down to Earth. He did a lot of material meant for children because he knew that when they grew up, they'd be fans of his. You'd think a guy that did so much schlock would become jaded and bitter (like the Alan Rickman character in Galaxy Quest,) but instead he gave every role his all. My favorite Vincent Price role was "Masque of the Red Death" where he played an evil bastard prince (but one with layers to him, inclined to the occasional act of mercy - a deeply complex role that few actors would have had the charisma to pull off.)
theproplady A favorite of mine too. I saw his Prince Prospero as a man of firm but undeniably evil faith. His occasional acts of mercy are always consistent with that idea.
I only just realized what a massive impact Vincent Price has had on my life! When I was in middle school, I was chosen to do the Vincent Price Narration for the choir's rendition of Thriller, and given how sullen I always was, being a little shit back then, that was one of the first times I recieved genuine praise for something I did. This helped lead me out of my little cocoon of self-pity so I could actually live my life, rather than perpetually feel sorry for myself. Ever since then, Vincent Price has crept his way into my regular speaking voice, which led me into drama and voice acting, the only places where I wouldn't be expected to hold him back. I always thought it was just my upbringing on Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it was Vincent Price who genuinely made me the man I am today. Thanks, Vince! You really are the best!
He is one of those rare actors that would make any director joyous to have because he was the consummate professional. He loved what he did, and even if the result was bad, he appreciated the hard work of its creation. Like others after him like Christopher Walken, Alan Rickman even Whilem Dafoe, you know you will always get their A game.
I met Mr. Price after a lecture he gave called "The Villain Still Pursues Me." He discussed type casting, art, cooking and theater. Afterwards, he was extremely kind to me, a 14 year old horror movie fan, and stayed around for quite awhile to chat. I also saw him many years later in a on-man show as Oscar Wilde and in another as Theo - brother of Vincent Van Gogh. Great performances & a great man.
James Hardison I am SOOOOOOO envious of you (but happy for you just the same). I'm 36 and I've been a Price fan since around the age of 6 (yes, I was quite strange as a child). That's fantastic you got to meet him. Thanks so much for sharing your stories (I'd love to hear more).
James Hardison if you happen to see this James, what profession did you go into? Even if it's not the arts, men like Peter can have drastic effects on our lives
@@Geospasmic Yes, he's supposed to sound like Orson Welles. There are similarities between Vincent Price and Orson's voices when Vincent speaks in a casual, calm tone, but they're pretty distinct when it comes to their more theatrical voices.
Great topic. I met him in late '78 after one of his "Diversions and Delights" performances. He was a class act. He made too many great films to single out any particular one.
Excellent! My wife and I are big admirers of Vincent Price. Two characteristics pop in mind when his name is mentioned - unique and sincere. His sincerity is so honest, it makes you feel like you could have been his friend. Thanks Georg! :o) (oh.....don't lose the lava lamp!!)
I've only seen a handful of Price's films, and was unaware of his early work. There's something about the man that makes you feel he would've been a great person to have a conversation with, or to listen talking about his work or about art or life. And if nothing else, he was always worth watching.
I have to sincerely thank The Great Mouse Detective for introducing me (and hundreds of other children) to the brilliant charisma of Vincent Price. One of the things I love about him is that, no matter the role, you get the sense that he is having an enormous amount of fun.
While I've always find him a fascinating person, I haven't watched many movies of him... but one I did watch and I loved was "The Last Man on Earth", a fabulous movie, and Price's performance is awesome.
Vincent Price is one of my favourite actors of all time. Classically trained but always loved Horror, and was never afraid to be typecast as a horror icon. His voice makes me think of Halloween.
I actually do a bit of voice acting in my spare time, and I always love to play villains the most. Why do I bring this up? Because everytime I hear Vincent Price speak in a film, I think to myself, "Yes! That's *exactly* what I'd do!" Or at least what I'd try for, anyway. He's the kind of classically trained almost-but-not-quite ham that I aspire most to be as an actor, and I always love to see him at work.
Favorite Vincent Price role: Abominable Dr. Phibes. One part gruesome vindicator, one part Renaissance Man. The film used retro blood and set design wonderfully. Thank you for highlighting this man's career. Hopefully you will introduce many to the great catalogue of his films.
My favorite Vincent Price movie is "The Last Man on Earth" (1964). It's based on the 1954 novel I Am Legend, which is the same novel that Charlton Heston's "Omega Man" (1971) and Will Smith's "I Am Legend" (2007) are based on. Vincent Price spends a lot of the movie as a narrator, talking to himself, or talking to a dog, and not a second of it is boring. "The Last Man on Earth" is available all over the internet because it's in the public domain, like "Night of the Living Dead", so go watch it.
The Last Man on Earth (both the short story and the film) is the direct inspiration that George A. Romero cited as what got him to think of what the night of the apocalypse caused by the Undead would look like, and led to Night of the Living Dead (1968), which invented the modern zombie.
Aw you didnt mention The masque of the red death. His character in that movie is one of his best in my oppinion. "If a god of love and life ever did exist, he is long since dead. Someone...something rules in his place."
Mattias Mattsson Yet Prospero remains delusional about how his little games will stop Death from coming by so much as an hour. "Why are you afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time."
Thank you so much for discussing Vincent Price;. I absolutely adore him; I love his quirkiness and his flair for the dramatic. It's difficult to pick a favorite film of his. But I am quite fond of "the Last Man on Earth", "Laura", "Pit and the Pendulum", and "House of Usher". Whether he played the good guy or the bad guy I always found him truly wonderful.
Seeing Vincent Price on the Carol Burnette show was amazing. I never knew that the guy who was known for being such a horror icon could be so damned funny. Keep in mind that I was just a kid, too. Still, the man was a class-act.
I really appreciate your tribute to a fine actor and gentlemen. When my wife and I saw his one-man show about Oscar Wilde, we waited with a few others after work just to tell him how much we enjoyed it. He was very gracious and even repeated my wife's favorite line for her. He was indeed a very approachable man and and will be remembered and appreciated for a long time to come
The Thriller monologue doesn't match the menace of his monologue in Devils Food from Alice Coopers , Welcome To My Nightmare. It provides the perfect lead into The Black Widow following.
As a kid in the 70s I used to watch The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein at 9am every Saturday and Vincent was the host of the show. My brothers and I would make our huge bowls of Booberry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula cereal and plop down on the floor 2 feet away from the tv. The good ol' days. My grampa would watch the old movies with me too. My gramps got me into a lot of stuff like The Twilight Zone, spaghetti Westerns, war movies, Abbott & Costello, Marx Bros, 3 Stooges.
I LOVED that show too! I can never forget the ending: the castle lights are growing dim. There's no one left but me and him, (nods towards Frankenstien behind him). When next you come to Frankenstone, don't come alone. (Dramatically blows out candle)
I loved The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, too. At the end of the show when Vincent Price would do the outro with Brucie in the background it would terrify me. Thankfully, I now own the DVD set and can watch it any time I want. :D
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ be thankful you had amazing family showing you these things. I lived in a small Mississippi town decades ago and coming across this caliber of work didn't happen for quite a while. When I first started looking into these movies and directors/actors/companies I was amazed! Being from a very religious family I thought tv entertainment was a few news channels. I hope your grandpa is doing ok, there's nothing like older people opening doors for you. It's like a magical land not known to exist.
Theatre of Blood is one of my guilty pleasures, as the deaths are absurd but full of gore, and the sight of him reeling of quotes from the Bard, once being a camp hairdresser with an Afro!
Probably because it is an odd film to say the least: it is obviously a straight up horror flick at first glance but it also has serious comedic undertones and so it almost can't decide what kind of genre it wants to fit into. That's my two cents anyway!
I grew up on The Great Mouse Detective, and found many more of his movies afterwards, resulting in the big honking fan I am now. I even bought a 1st edition of one of his cookbooks for myself for christmas one year. But, I would have to say that my favorite of his is a tie between House of Wax (being an eccentric artist myself) and Dragonwyck. I particularly enjoy Dragonwyck on the level of it being one of his more early roles, 1946, but he gets to play the "Dashing" lead....and also a small glimpse at the characters he would later become famous for playing.
Glad you mentioned his radio work in 'The Saint' those broadcasts are quite fun and well worth listening to. Unlike a lot of actors, Vincent Price seemed to honestly love and have fun acting, and that never diminished during his entire career. He gave every role 100% making him often the best thing in some very bad films.
That was a great tribute. Vincent Price seemed to be the complete opposite of all the monstrous characters he played over the years. A sweet man who relished the arts and life with good humour. Really enjoying your channel by the way.
In a way that kinda is Vincent Pricey (or at least one of his movie roles), not only did my father look just like Vincent Price, he knew it and was also a huge fan. So I grew up with the badly imitated version of Vincent Price, which just made me love the original even more. I don't have a favorite movie, but I do have vinyls of Vincent Price narrating Poe and other works of literature. It's great to put on a record and listen to Poe while working in my shop.
My favorite film is "The Abominable Doctor Phibes", an extremely entertaining horror/comedy from the early 1970's......I even named my very dignified and stately tuxedo cat Doctor Phibes....Phibsey turned 20 years old this month
James B A sentimental favorite of mine as well. You might interested to know that it served as the initial inspiration for Alan Moore and David Lloyd when creating the graphic novel V For Vendetta.
Those movies are SO good. I'm only 36 but I grew up on em' (thanks to my dad who had excellent taste). These movies (and many others like it) shaped who I am by way of sense of humor and overall taste.
Leaving aside his personal self, I love Vincent Price as a performer because he is one of those rare things, a large ham who is also a legitimately good actor. This results in performances so enjoyably extroverted you can't help but grin whenever he's on screen.
He really did seem to be a lovely person, a gentleman in the best sense. I mentally categorise him with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in that, and not just for similarly finding great success in the horror genre, but for their personal qualities.
Liked this channel before but now, after seeing this; Price is in a league of his own. Price got me into older movies and since then I've become a real cinema-nerd.
I can remember watching Hilarious House of Frightenstein in the early mornings when I was little. I loved watching Vincent Price do his poetry segments in between the Billy Van skits and the ending credits as he blew out the candle. Such a legend of his time. My personal favorite movie of his is the original Thirteen Ghosts, among several others. Loved this tribute video, very glad I subscribed.
He never scared me -- but he always entertained me. I'm torn between "Laura," simply because it's so great, and "The Raven," because it features Hazel Court looking vavavavoom.
I mostly remember his closing narration for House of Usher, but watching this I realise how many films he did that I have not seen, including Laura. Items to hunt for!
William Blake Hall i gotta ask- whats the love for Laura about? I saw it and was so bored by it i fell asleep. Which isnt normal for me when it comes to film noirs and such. Heck The Maltese Falcon is one of my favorites and i even have a replica od the prop. Sure it picks up when it turns out shes not dead but befire that god was it a slog. I want to hear your opinion on the matter
I may not be the best authority, since I'm hardly that in-depth a fan. All i know is that I like the performances, perhaps Webb most of all. Vincent Price's character is corrupt but endearing. Dorothy Adams is an odd character actress who makes a strong impression. It's a fair mystery -- if Laura wasn't killed, then who? And for me Gene Tierney is serious swoon material. Yes, I absolutely agree it's no Falcon or Big Sleep, but for me various little aspects of it come together into a satisfying whole. I'm afraid that's a very idiosyncratic answer -- if it's not for you, I can understand.
William Blake Hall thanks for a little insight. For me it definately got interesting the moment it turned out she wasnt dead and it became a much more interesting who done it
Masque of the Red Death, 1964 was the very first Vincent Price movie I ever saw and I've loved him ever since. If my life could be narrated, I'd take his voice over Morgan Freeman's any day.
Witchfinder General is easily my favourite Vincent Price film. He's utterly intense in the film, and yet he's charming as hell throughout it as well. Like Georg said, it's brutal and was censored for good reason, but it's totally worth watching, the tone of the film and the way in which the story progresses is so unique. Very disturbing film, but always entertaining and extremely engaging. I actually wish that there were more films like it, hence why it's one of my all-time favourite films.
I've never seen a single VP movie, but I know of him very well, his voice and face. You made a lovely little love letter to him here, and one I enjoyed watching.
I'm a usual subscriber. One of the first movies I ever saw in my life as a child was The Great Mouse Detective. I got here from looking up reviews for that movie and watching the nostalgia critic talk about Ratigan, more over Vincent Price, and typing him I find this. Now I can appreciate everything in reverse. Go back and watch nostalgia critic do the review for the Great Mouse Detective and then watch it with my new wisdom.
I just saw Laura recently, and I think that was the first movie I saw Vincent perform not just voice over (that I could tell anyway). He was so good in that movie, and I really just want to watch more of what he's done. Fantastic video by the way!
I haven't seen many Vincent Price films, but, gun to my head, I'd have to say that my favourite film of his is probably the "The Fly" from 1958. I love that film.
One of his greater moments that summed up his real personality was the outtake from Thriller where at the end of his rap he gives a joyful laugh and says, "It's great fun." As a teenager, I always wondered what Vincent thought of his part in the song and that pretty much told me everything about that and how he saw himself and his work.
Thank you for this video and for all the entertaining and informative content you provide. I was happy to see you singled out Mr Price. As a movie lover, Vincent Price has always been a favorite. I've always been in awe of how he single handedly can raise the real estate of any film he appears. My personal fave is "The Pit and the Pendulum" (True! True!) but despite the distasteful misogyny in "The Witchfinder General", Vincent brings a sinister evil that only a serous black belt actor could convey. Thanks again for your channel.
I'm so glad you made this (really well done) video. For some time now I've lamented Price's place in the cultural consciousness as solely a "horror icon" on account of the MANY great performances he gave in a wide array of different kinds of films. For instance he's HYSTERICAL in "His Kind of Woman", a quasi-film noir from 1951 starring Robert Mitchum, where he plays this monstrously, though hilariously, self-absorbed movie star (I literally laugh my way entirely through the final 20 minutes, due to Price, every time I see it). He's also great in films like "Song of Bernadette", and "The Barron of Arizona", and particularly in Otto Preminger's deservedly-renowned "Laura". I could go on, but the long list of REALLY interesting, and VARIED, performances Price gave long before he became a "horror"-icon is seemingly endless. And as you point here he was an exceptionally cultivated guy with many interests/skills beyond acting. I wish more people were aware he's so much more than a pop culture-category-marker.
His Last Man on Earth is still the best interpretation of that story. Vincent himself is compelling in the role of course. Also it's the only film version that doesn't COMPLETELY miss the whole point of the story like Heston's dumb shoot-em-up or Smith's Hollywood sell out happy ending for humanity.
My three favorite VP films; Theatre of Blood, Masque of the Red Death, and The Abominable Dr. Phibes. The others are all worth seeing as I don't believe he ever gave a bad performance.
Great Mouse Detective will always be my favorite of his works. Wish you'd mentioned the Thief and The Cobbler. Not many people have major roles after their deaths, but so fitting for Price.
I love Vincent Price. The first movie I remember seeing him in was The Tingler when I was about six and it scared the hell out of me in the most enjoyable way. It's the first horror movie I remember seeing. I love him in drama, comedy, horror and costume dramas. HIs voice was a joy to listen to and I loved his narrations. He was a very enteraining man when interviewed and was able to have a joke at his expense. I imagine he would have been a very pleasant person to know.
I grew up in Oak Park, Il... In a Gunderson, on Gunderson. I remember the block parties we had when I was a kid. I would get up early to ride my bike in the street as they put up the traffic barriers--indulging in the novelty of the thing. All day and late into the night we would have food and activities going on... I remember one year, breaking away from the fun, to go inside just in time to catch the Son of Svengoolie show; the featured movie that week being, The Raven--a great movie. It was the only thing that could've pulled me away from the fun outside without regret. Great vid.
Vincent Price has always been, and always will be my personal favorite horror icon. In fact, I really want to see "House of Wax", AND all of his vampire movies.
Vincent Price was always one of my favorites. As a kid and teenager I devoured his movies over and over again. He was one of those actors who made even the cheesiest movies entertaining because he was in them. My favorites are The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Doctor Phibes Rises Again, The Raven, Mask of the Red Death (this one is so totally awesome) and The Raven. If you ever get the chance check out Comedy of Terror - one of the best black comedies ever put to film. (It has Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff in it, how could you go wrong?) IMO, his best two movies (though not my personal top ten favorites) were The Last Man on Earth and The Conqueror Worm. What a truly unique talent.
One of my favorite actors. So many movies but Tales of Terror is my favorite. Being a Baltimore native and liking the macabre I was drawn to his Poe inspired films at an early age.
I must say that I love your videos, they are informative, funny and never the in your face brash tone of most current movie bloggers. I am great fan of Mr Price's works and I must say its funny to see someone speak about theatre of blood. If it was possible I would love to see you speak about Peter Cushing or the British horror studios of the 50s - 70s, but I must say good work!
I liked that portmanteau film where he was the proprietor of a club for monsters. A human couple had stumbled in and he was regaling them with tales of terrible monsters. It captured the friendliness and malevolence, that he would normally play one or the other, into a single role. You would normally feel either safe or in danger with his characters, but in this role you felt both.
I never heard of The Monster Club and just looked it up. V. Price AND John Carridine AND Donald Pleasence AND Britt Ekland of The Wicker Man fame AND it's a horror anthology, my favorite kind of movie. I MUST see this.
I love the old-fashioned suspense/horror genre that Price typified. It was all about atmosphere rather than gore. And what a charismatic fellow he was. I love that he was a highly educated intelligent man, but he never turned his nose down at these quirky roles. What a wonderful screen presence he was.
Vincent Price was amazing in practically every role he played. I'm partial to the comedic ones he has played, especially on television. Such as Egghead on the 60's Batman, the crazed man in the Brady Bunch Hawaiian episodes, even the commercials he did like for Hangman and Shrunken Head Apple Sculpture Kit. I also love his passion for cooking, he even made a full meal in a dishwasher! He was a great treasure of a human being.
Scooby Doo and the 13 ghosts is the firs time i heard his voice. After that.. i was a huge fan. Even the Michael Jackson song gave me chills. Its a shame he didnt get to live in the 2000-2010. He could have voiced over so many games, movies and audio books.. Ohhh.. the audio books.. can you people even imagine it? It will be a total pleasure.
Perhaps not a favorite film, but being a Wisconsin native I was fortunate enough to see and remember commercials for "Cousins Subs" in which Mr. PRICE starred in a few commercials in the 80's. Such a articulate man whose spectrum was both broad and intellectual that he could make anything intriguing regardless of it's popularity to any one's opinion. A truly fascinating individual that may be often imitated but never duplicated!
I met Mr Price backstage at a performance of his one man show at Stony Brook State University - must have been in the 70's. I waited in the wings, where I knew he would have to exit the stage, and at the end of the performance the curtain came down, the lights went down, and I completely missed him passing me (so close I could have kissed him). He turned himself OFF when he left the stage! And that, perhaps is the most useful tool he had to maintain a long, happy career in acting. He was not always on...I did realize who he was and got to talk to him briefly, but this chameleon character is something unforgettable.
I watched 'The Tingler' the other night, it's so clear when he's working with such material he's just having fun. He knows where it's coming from. Although, when he's in something like Witch Finder General or Masque of the Red Death he's quite disturbing and intense. I think he just knew exactly how to project the role with the script he was given.
My favourite Vincent Price movie is Theatre of Blood. Plays the part of Lionheart to absolute perfection, and does the deep tragedy moments and the blatantly comical just as brilliantly. As usual in so many Vincent Price horror performances, he can perform the most ghastly deeds while effortlessly gaining the sympathy of the audience. Vincent was thrilled at having such a distinguished cast to work with on ToB, and it was so obvious he had a great time doing it.
My introduction to VP was his role as the Narrator in Billy Van’s Canadian children’s show The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. 130 episodes in syndication throughout the 70’s. Brilliant.
How is it possible to pick a favourite from this great man's work? Theatre Of Blood certainly ranks, as does Phibes, both of them, but how about Diary Of An Opium Eater, with its epic drug induced dream sequence? I could watch them all again and again. The House On Haunted Hill is always high up the list too.
I love almost everything Vincent has done. I have both of his cookbooks and had one of them autographed by Vincent's daughter. She is an absolute sweet woman.
I love this channel. Instead of doing stupid top 10 guaranteed-view bullshit, you're covering important, thoughtful topics that you're clearly passionate about. Always a surprise to see the topics, always well-researched and a real pleasure to watch.
To be as humble, but so eloquent and articulate. Perhaps the singular most influential actor of horror, to date. Always pushing the psychological boundary. Yet considering him self learning in an emergent reality, a true master of his craft of dramaturge.
Wonderful video! I only wish it could have been longer, I could watch someone gush over Vincent Price for hours. He seemed to ooze kindness and good nature, and have a love for life. I think one of my favorite Price films is Madhouse, though I'm not sure why. on the surface it seems a little flat, but I just love watching it. Theatre of Blood is great fun, and so are the Phibes movies. I also like how he played Neville in Last Man on Earth. I could go on, but I'll just say that I tend to greatly enjoy your videos, and always look forward to them!
Vincent Price was a living doll! I've never been a big fan of horror films, and there is very few that I like. I'll watch Theater of Blood and both Dr. Phibes films anytime. He, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee were just excellent gentlemen actors; and their inherent good character seemed to be visible to me at some point in every piece they starred in. I know is a fun place with you guys there.
The two Phibes movies and Theater of Blood are among the finest if not THE finest horror comedies ever made. The joke with the fellow on the walkie talkie in the boot of the car in Theater gets me every time.
This might well be your best video to date. I have not watched them all; but I too am a Vincent Price fan. I had the great honor of meeting him once. I won't drone on about it, suffices to say he was a cheerful, patient and tactful gentleman to all. I told him my surreal riddle. I came up with it driving home from final exams one fall. The last exam was in Art History; and the last question was about Salvador Dali. Thus the surreal riddle. PM me if you would like to hear it.
It would've been awesome to see a Doctor Strange movie with Vincent Price.
James Lawner With a young Vincent Price,... wow!
Oh god yes. Even the older him as an old, grizzled version of the character. It would be far, far to good of a thing to ever come into existence in a modern movie though, sadly.... >_
Byron Orpheus in the Venture Bros (who is a stand-in for Dr. Strange) is also a more obvious homage to Vincent. From his appearance to even the fact his music cues sound like they came from Roger Corman 'Poe films.
All we need is a solid impersonator and for Marvel to start taking their animation seriously again, and we could get it.
GOD A THING I NEVER THOUGHT OF BUT SOUNDS OH SO RIGHT
Vincent Price was so classy, yet so down to Earth. He did a lot of material meant for children because he knew that when they grew up, they'd be fans of his. You'd think a guy that did so much schlock would become jaded and bitter (like the Alan Rickman character in Galaxy Quest,) but instead he gave every role his all. My favorite Vincent Price role was "Masque of the Red Death" where he played an evil bastard prince (but one with layers to him, inclined to the occasional act of mercy - a deeply complex role that few actors would have had the charisma to pull off.)
theproplady A favorite of mine too. I saw his Prince Prospero as a man of firm but undeniably evil faith. His occasional acts of mercy are always consistent with that idea.
I think _House on Haunted Hill_ is one of my favorites. Just watching Vincent Price being in control is always a lot of fun.
Ryan Hartwell Agree!
I only just realized what a massive impact Vincent Price has had on my life! When I was in middle school, I was chosen to do the Vincent Price Narration for the choir's rendition of Thriller, and given how sullen I always was, being a little shit back then, that was one of the first times I recieved genuine praise for something I did.

I always thought it was just my upbringing on Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it was Vincent Price who genuinely made me the man I am today. Thanks, Vince! You really are the best!
He is one of those rare actors that would make any director joyous to have because he was the consummate professional. He loved what he did, and even if the result was bad, he appreciated the hard work of its creation.

James Hardison I am SOOOOOOO envious of you (but happy for you just the same). I'm 36 and I've been a Price fan since around the age of 6 (yes, I was quite strange as a child). That's fantastic you got to meet him. Thanks so much for sharing your stories (I'd love to hear more).
I can't tell how much I envy you, but I'm also happy for you. It must have been wonderful to meet him. Thanks for sharing.
James Hardison if you happen to see this James, what profession did you go into? Even if it's not the arts, men like Peter can have drastic effects on our lives
That's pretty friggin cool he's one of the few famous people from the twentieth century I would have loved to speak to
Lucky sod! ☺
Vincent was one of the absolute greatest, no doubt
Agreed My Favorite Movie From Vincent Price is “The Fly” That Movie Didn’t Creep Me Out At All After Watching It on Demand One Night!
How I love his nasal, sort of meowing voice.
His voice was so wonderfully fitting in "Thriller", my personal favourite outside any movie :-)
I always wondered who exactly the voice at the end of Thriller was.
when I heard his voice, I immediately thought that he did the voice for brain in animinacs
JOHNSON! yes sir! I think the Brain's voice was supposed to sound like Orson Wells.
@@Geospasmic Yes, he's supposed to sound like Orson Welles. There are similarities between Vincent Price and Orson's voices when Vincent speaks in a casual, calm tone, but they're pretty distinct when it comes to their more theatrical voices.
Great topic. I met him in late '78 after one of his "Diversions and Delights" performances. He was a class act. He made too many great films to single out any particular one.
Excellent! My wife and I are big admirers of Vincent Price. Two characteristics pop in mind when his name is mentioned - unique and sincere. His sincerity is so honest, it makes you feel like you could have been his friend. Thanks Georg! :o) (oh.....don't lose the lava lamp!!)
I've only seen a handful of Price's films, and was unaware of his early work. There's something about the man that makes you feel he would've been a great person to have a conversation with, or to listen talking about his work or about art or life. And if nothing else, he was always worth watching.
I have to sincerely thank The Great Mouse Detective for introducing me (and hundreds of other children) to the brilliant charisma of Vincent Price. One of the things I love about him is that, no matter the role, you get the sense that he is having an enormous amount of fun.
Same Thing That Disney Movie Made Me Become a Fan of Vincent Price When I Got Much Older!
I technically got Thriller because of my music class and me being a MJ fan.
While I've always find him a fascinating person, I haven't watched many movies of him... but one I did watch and I loved was "The Last Man on Earth", a fabulous movie, and Price's performance is awesome.
Every single thing I have found of Vincent Price has made me more endeared to his work. I love everything he has done.
Vincent Price is one of my favourite actors of all time. Classically trained but always loved Horror, and was never afraid to be typecast as a horror icon. His voice makes me think of Halloween.
I actually do a bit of voice acting in my spare time, and I always love to play villains the most. Why do I bring this up? Because everytime I hear Vincent Price speak in a film, I think to myself, "Yes! That's *exactly* what I'd do!" Or at least what I'd try for, anyway. He's the kind of classically trained almost-but-not-quite ham that I aspire most to be as an actor, and I always love to see him at work.
Favorite Vincent Price role: Abominable Dr. Phibes. One part gruesome vindicator, one part Renaissance Man. The film used retro blood and set design wonderfully.
Thank you for highlighting this man's career. Hopefully you will introduce many to the great catalogue of his films.
My favorite Vincent Price movie is "The Last Man on Earth" (1964). It's based on the 1954 novel I Am Legend, which is the same novel that Charlton Heston's "Omega Man" (1971) and Will Smith's "I Am Legend" (2007) are based on. Vincent Price spends a lot of the movie as a narrator, talking to himself, or talking to a dog, and not a second of it is boring. "The Last Man on Earth" is available all over the internet because it's in the public domain, like "Night of the Living Dead", so go watch it.
Zsokorad My favourite as well :)
The Last Man on Earth (both the short story and the film) is the direct inspiration that George A. Romero cited as what got him to think of what the night of the apocalypse caused by the Undead would look like, and led to Night of the Living Dead (1968), which invented the modern zombie.
Conquerer worm, .and masgue of the red death were two of my favorites. But can't beat Last man on earth. Scary as hell.
Zsokorad Moooorrrgannn..... Morgannnnnnn!!!
Yeah, good movie
Aw you didnt mention The masque of the red death. His character in that movie is one of his best in my oppinion.
"If a god of love and life ever did exist, he is long since dead. Someone...something rules in his place."
Mattias Mattsson Yet Prospero remains delusional about how his little games will stop Death from coming by so much as an hour. "Why are you afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time."
My
Thank you so much for discussing Vincent Price;. I absolutely adore him; I love his quirkiness and his flair for the dramatic. It's difficult to pick a favorite film of his. But I am quite fond of "the Last Man on Earth", "Laura", "Pit and the Pendulum", and "House of Usher". Whether he played the good guy or the bad guy I always found him truly wonderful.
Seeing Vincent Price on the Carol Burnette show was amazing. I never knew that the guy who was known for being such a horror icon could be so damned funny. Keep in mind that I was just a kid, too. Still, the man was a class-act.
The Last man on Earth is still to this day my favourite film of all time
Ditto that!!!!!!
Tally! Ho! Still the purest adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend committed to celluloid. Even some of the dialogue are direct quotes.
Fantastic movie. Does not get enough credit.
I really appreciate your tribute to a fine actor and gentlemen. When my wife and I saw his one-man show about Oscar Wilde, we waited with a few others after work just to tell him how much we enjoyed it. He was very gracious and even repeated my wife's favorite line for her. He was indeed a very approachable man and and will be remembered and appreciated for a long time to come
I really enjoyed how warm hearted this video was. Thanks Georg.
yes... im a fan. i have been trying to get my hands on his cookbook .
crime fighting antique dealers??? what like lovejoy
amazon, that's where I got mine
www.amazon.com/Treasury-Great-Recipes-50th-Anniversary/dp/1606600729/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494867470&sr=8-1&keywords=vincent+price+cookbook
His monolouge from Thriller is my favourite monolouge ever.Especially the laugh at the end.
The Thriller monologue doesn't match the menace of his monologue in Devils Food from Alice Coopers , Welcome To My Nightmare. It provides the perfect lead into The Black Widow following.
As a kid in the 70s I used to watch The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein at 9am every Saturday and Vincent was the host of the show. My brothers and I would make our huge bowls of Booberry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula cereal and plop down on the floor 2 feet away from the tv. The good ol' days.
My grampa would watch the old movies with me too. My gramps got me into a lot of stuff like The Twilight Zone, spaghetti Westerns, war movies, Abbott & Costello, Marx Bros, 3 Stooges.
I LOVED that show too! I can never forget the ending: the castle lights are growing dim. There's no one left but me and him, (nods towards Frankenstien behind him). When next you come to Frankenstone, don't come alone. (Dramatically blows out candle)
I loved HHOF at a kid. It was where I knew Vincent Price from, long before I knew of his actual horror career.
I loved The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, too. At the end of the show when Vincent Price would do the outro with Brucie in the background it would terrify me. Thankfully, I now own the DVD set and can watch it any time I want. :D
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ be thankful you had amazing family showing you these things. I lived in a small Mississippi town decades ago and coming across this caliber of work didn't happen for quite a while. When I first started looking into these movies and directors/actors/companies I was amazed! Being from a very religious family I thought tv entertainment was a few news channels. I hope your grandpa is doing ok, there's nothing like older people opening doors for you. It's like a magical land not known to exist.
THE BEST Canada's finest TV show. th-cam.com/video/poW0OJGT9C4/w-d-xo.html
What a lovely tribute!! I agree 100%!!! It's so obvious in his work that he enjoyed his life and work!!!!
Theatre of Blood is one of my guilty pleasures, as the deaths are absurd but full of gore, and the sight of him reeling of quotes from the Bard, once being a camp hairdresser with an Afro!
Diana Rigg/ Vincent Price: how is it a guilty pleasure?
Probably because it is an odd film to say the least: it is obviously a straight up horror flick at first glance but it also has serious comedic undertones and so it almost can't decide what kind of genre it wants to fit into. That's my two cents anyway!
I grew up on The Great Mouse Detective, and found many more of his movies afterwards, resulting in the big honking fan I am now. I even bought a 1st edition of one of his cookbooks for myself for christmas one year. But, I would have to say that my favorite of his is a tie between House of Wax (being an eccentric artist myself) and Dragonwyck. I particularly enjoy Dragonwyck on the level of it being one of his more early roles, 1946, but he gets to play the "Dashing" lead....and also a small glimpse at the characters he would later become famous for playing.
Glad you mentioned his radio work in 'The Saint' those broadcasts are quite fun and well worth listening to.
Unlike a lot of actors, Vincent Price seemed to honestly love and have fun acting, and that never diminished during his entire career. He gave every role 100% making him often the best thing in some very bad films.
That was a great tribute. Vincent Price seemed to be the complete opposite of all the monstrous characters he played over the years. A sweet man who relished the arts and life with good humour.
Really enjoying your channel by the way.
In a way that kinda is Vincent Pricey (or at least one of his movie roles), not only did my father look just like Vincent Price, he knew it and was also a huge fan. So I grew up with the badly imitated version of Vincent Price, which just made me love the original even more.
I don't have a favorite movie, but I do have vinyls of Vincent Price narrating Poe and other works of literature. It's great to put on a record and listen to Poe while working in my shop.
aye vince we miss him dearly, He was such a fantastic actor that no one can ever replace him
Great video with much respect to a great actor. Vincent Price was a real class act and a talented actor.
Vincent Price seemed to be a truly kind person. He made too many great movies to pick one as my favorite
My favorite film is "The Abominable Doctor Phibes", an extremely entertaining horror/comedy from the early 1970's......I even named my very dignified and stately tuxedo cat Doctor Phibes....Phibsey turned 20 years old this month
James B A sentimental favorite of mine as well. You might interested to know that it served as the initial inspiration for Alan Moore and David Lloyd when creating the graphic novel V For Vendetta.
Those movies are SO good. I'm only 36 but I grew up on em' (thanks to my dad who had excellent taste). These movies (and many others like it) shaped who I am by way of sense of humor and overall taste.
Leaving aside his personal self, I love Vincent Price as a performer because he is one of those rare things, a large ham who is also a legitimately good actor. This results in performances so enjoyably extroverted you can't help but grin whenever he's on screen.
He really did seem to be a lovely person, a gentleman in the best sense. I mentally categorise him with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in that, and not just for similarly finding great success in the horror genre, but for their personal qualities.
Liked this channel before but now, after seeing this; Price is in a league of his own. Price got me into older movies and since then I've become a real cinema-nerd.
I can remember watching Hilarious House of Frightenstein in the early mornings when I was little. I loved watching Vincent Price do his poetry segments in between the Billy Van skits and the ending credits as he blew out the candle. Such a legend of his time. My personal favorite movie of his is the original Thirteen Ghosts, among several others. Loved this tribute video, very glad I subscribed.
He never scared me -- but he always entertained me. I'm torn between "Laura," simply because it's so great, and "The Raven," because it features Hazel Court looking vavavavoom.
I mostly remember his closing narration for House of Usher, but watching this I realise how many films he did that I have not seen, including Laura. Items to hunt for!
William Blake Hall i gotta ask- whats the love for Laura about? I saw it and was so bored by it i fell asleep. Which isnt normal for me when it comes to film noirs and such. Heck The Maltese Falcon is one of my favorites and i even have a replica od the prop. Sure it picks up when it turns out shes not dead but befire that god was it a slog. I want to hear your opinion on the matter
I may not be the best authority, since I'm hardly that in-depth a fan. All i know is that I like the performances, perhaps Webb most of all. Vincent Price's character is corrupt but endearing. Dorothy Adams is an odd character actress who makes a strong impression. It's a fair mystery -- if Laura wasn't killed, then who? And for me Gene Tierney is serious swoon material. Yes, I absolutely agree it's no Falcon or Big Sleep, but for me various little aspects of it come together into a satisfying whole. I'm afraid that's a very idiosyncratic answer -- if it's not for you, I can understand.
William Blake Hall thanks for a little insight. For me it definately got interesting the moment it turned out she wasnt dead and it became a much more interesting who done it
Hazel Court looks that same way with him in Masque of the Red Death.....even when she brands her bad self.
I met him once in Malibu as a kid. He was so wonderfully kind to a young fan.
I don't really have a favorite of his but I do love his work. He scared the hell at of me as a kid.
Masque of the Red Death, 1964 was the very first Vincent Price movie I ever saw and I've loved him ever since. If my life could be narrated, I'd take his voice over Morgan Freeman's any day.
That sort of narration sounds far 2 spoopy 4 my liking.
I think the first movie of his I saw was Edward Scissorhands…….that’s a cruel irony.
Witchfinder General is easily my favourite Vincent Price film. He's utterly intense in the film, and yet he's charming as hell throughout it as well. Like Georg said, it's brutal and was censored for good reason, but it's totally worth watching, the tone of the film and the way in which the story progresses is so unique. Very disturbing film, but always entertaining and extremely engaging. I actually wish that there were more films like it, hence why it's one of my all-time favourite films.
Bravo Georg! What a superb and informative tribute to one of the greatest actors of the art!
I can never decide what is my favorite Vincent Price movie because I love them all.
This is a fab video . I totally agree Vincent Price was a great actor . I love watching his films. That wonderful voice is priceless .
I've never seen a single VP movie, but I know of him very well, his voice and face. You made a lovely little love letter to him here, and one I enjoyed watching.
I love your insights on these figures and their cultural effects. Phenomenal work, and I can't wait to see more.
I'm a usual subscriber. One of the first movies I ever saw in my life as a child was The Great Mouse Detective. I got here from looking up reviews for that movie and watching the nostalgia critic talk about Ratigan, more over Vincent Price, and typing him I find this. Now I can appreciate everything in reverse. Go back and watch nostalgia critic do the review for the Great Mouse Detective and then watch it with my new wisdom.
I just saw Laura recently, and I think that was the first movie I saw Vincent perform not just voice over (that I could tell anyway). He was so good in that movie, and I really just want to watch more of what he's done. Fantastic video by the way!
What an excellent piece about our dearly beloved Vincent Price. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Witchfinder General
Masque of the Red Death
Theatre of Blood
These are his greatest roles and certainly career defining.
Duncan Garvey Theater of Blood had a wicked sense of humor. Price's comedic timing was impeccably-perfect.
I don't think you can narrow it down to just three "greatest roles".
Theatre of blood still gives me goosebumps, he seems so intense and dedicated in that role :)
Adrian Hopcroft I love Theatre of Blood
I haven't seen many Vincent Price films, but, gun to my head, I'd have to say that my favourite film of his is probably the "The Fly" from 1958. I love that film.
I had the great good fortune to see Vincent Price perform 'Diversions and Delights' - an unforgettable night at the Theatre.
One of his greater moments that summed up his real personality was the outtake from Thriller where at the end of his rap he gives a joyful laugh and says, "It's great fun." As a teenager, I always wondered what Vincent thought of his part in the song and that pretty much told me everything about that and how he saw himself and his work.
"House on Haunted Hill", "The Last Man on Earth", and all the films he did with Roger Corman.
Thank you for this video and for all the entertaining and informative content you provide. I was happy to see you singled out Mr Price. As a movie lover, Vincent Price has always been a favorite. I've always been in awe of how he single handedly can raise the real estate of any film he appears. My personal fave is "The Pit and the Pendulum" (True! True!) but despite the distasteful misogyny in "The Witchfinder General", Vincent brings a sinister evil that only a serous black belt actor could convey. Thanks again for your channel.
I'm so glad you made this (really well done) video. For some time now I've lamented Price's place in the cultural consciousness as solely a "horror icon" on account of the MANY great performances he gave in a wide array of different kinds of films.
For instance he's HYSTERICAL in "His Kind of Woman", a quasi-film noir from 1951 starring Robert Mitchum, where he plays this monstrously, though hilariously, self-absorbed movie star (I literally laugh my way entirely through the final 20 minutes, due to Price, every time I see it). He's also great in films like "Song of Bernadette", and "The Barron of Arizona", and particularly in Otto Preminger's deservedly-renowned "Laura". I could go on, but the long list of REALLY interesting, and VARIED, performances Price gave long before he became a "horror"-icon is seemingly endless. And as you point here he was an exceptionally cultivated guy with many interests/skills beyond acting. I wish more people were aware he's so much more than a pop culture-category-marker.
Vincent Price was that most unusual of actors who still remained highly likeable whether he was playing the hero or the villain.
He's so extremely legendary actor.
I used to see Edward scissorhands a lot as a kid and not until a few years ago did I realize Vincent was the inventor
Witchfinder General is my favourite Price film. Love it.
great band that took their name from the film I imagine. not certain about that.
His Last Man on Earth is still the best interpretation of that story. Vincent himself is compelling in the role of course. Also it's the only film version that doesn't COMPLETELY miss the whole point of the story like Heston's dumb shoot-em-up or Smith's Hollywood sell out happy ending for humanity.
Vincent Price never 'phoned it in' and his reputation reflects this ethic. I grew up with his films on TV. He'll always be a favourite of mine.
My three favorite VP films; Theatre of Blood, Masque of the Red Death, and The Abominable Dr. Phibes. The others are all worth seeing as I don't believe he ever gave a bad performance.
I have always loved Vincent Price and this video has given a much more appreciation for him.
I absolutely loved his self-referencing narration in the cartoon short "Vincent".
Great Mouse Detective will always be my favorite of his works.
Wish you'd mentioned the Thief and The Cobbler. Not many people have major roles after their deaths, but so fitting for Price.
I love Vincent Price. The first movie I remember seeing him in was The Tingler when I was about six and it scared the hell out of me in the most enjoyable way. It's the first horror movie I remember seeing.
I love him in drama, comedy, horror and costume dramas. HIs voice was a joy to listen to and I loved his narrations. He was a very enteraining man when interviewed and was able to have a joke at his expense. I imagine he would have been a very pleasant person to know.
I grew up in Oak Park, Il... In a Gunderson, on Gunderson. I remember the block parties we had when I was a kid. I would get up early to ride my bike in the street as they put up the traffic barriers--indulging in the novelty of the thing. All day and late into the night we would have food and activities going on... I remember one year, breaking away from the fun, to go inside just in time to catch the Son of Svengoolie show; the featured movie that week being, The Raven--a great movie. It was the only thing that could've pulled me away from the fun outside without regret. Great vid.
Vincent Price has always been, and always will be my personal favorite horror icon. In fact, I really want to see "House of Wax", AND all of his vampire movies.
I've always loved Vincent Price, he's was a damn good man
Vincent Price was always one of my favorites. As a kid and teenager I devoured his movies over and over again. He was one of those actors who made even the cheesiest movies entertaining because he was in them. My favorites are The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Doctor Phibes Rises Again, The Raven, Mask of the Red Death (this one is so totally awesome) and The Raven. If you ever get the chance check out Comedy of Terror - one of the best black comedies ever put to film. (It has Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff in it, how could you go wrong?) IMO, his best two movies (though not my personal top ten favorites) were The Last Man on Earth and The Conqueror Worm. What a truly unique talent.
One of my favorite actors. So many movies but Tales of Terror is my favorite. Being a Baltimore native and liking the macabre I was drawn to his Poe inspired films at an early age.
I like your channel because it's a mix of humor and seriousness, and neither feels forced.
I must say that I love your videos, they are informative, funny and never the in your face brash tone of most current movie bloggers. I am great fan of Mr Price's works and I must say its funny to see someone speak about theatre of blood. If it was possible I would love to see you speak about Peter Cushing or the British horror studios of the 50s - 70s, but I must say good work!
I liked that portmanteau film where he was the proprietor of a club for monsters. A human couple had stumbled in and he was regaling them with tales of terrible monsters. It captured the friendliness and malevolence, that he would normally play one or the other, into a single role. You would normally feel either safe or in danger with his characters, but in this role you felt both.
I never heard of The Monster Club and just looked it up. V. Price AND John Carridine AND Donald Pleasence AND Britt Ekland of The Wicker Man fame AND it's a horror anthology, my favorite kind of movie. I MUST see this.
With some of the worst musical interludes put to film, and a strip tease that goes ALL the way. @@skeptic2525
I love the old-fashioned suspense/horror genre that Price typified. It was all about atmosphere rather than gore. And what a charismatic fellow he was. I love that he was a highly educated intelligent man, but he never turned his nose down at these quirky roles. What a wonderful screen presence he was.
Vincent Price was amazing in practically every role he played. I'm partial to the comedic ones he has played, especially on television. Such as Egghead on the 60's Batman, the crazed man in the Brady Bunch Hawaiian episodes, even the commercials he did like for Hangman and Shrunken Head Apple Sculpture Kit. I also love his passion for cooking, he even made a full meal in a dishwasher! He was a great treasure of a human being.
Scooby Doo and the 13 ghosts is the firs time i heard his voice. After that.. i was a huge fan. Even the Michael Jackson song gave me chills. Its a shame he didnt get to live in the 2000-2010. He could have voiced over so many games, movies and audio books..
Ohhh.. the audio books.. can you people even imagine it? It will be a total pleasure.
Perhaps not a favorite film, but being a Wisconsin native I was fortunate enough to see and remember commercials for "Cousins Subs" in which Mr. PRICE starred in a few commercials in the 80's. Such a articulate man whose spectrum was both broad and intellectual that he could make anything intriguing regardless of it's popularity to any one's opinion. A truly fascinating individual that may be often imitated but never duplicated!
Love love love love love this!!!!!!!!
I met Mr Price backstage at a performance of his one man show at Stony Brook State University - must have been in the 70's. I waited in the wings, where I knew he would have to exit the stage, and at the end of the performance the curtain came down, the lights went down, and I completely missed him passing me (so close I could have kissed him). He turned himself OFF when he left the stage! And that, perhaps is the most useful tool he had to maintain a long, happy career in acting. He was not always on...I did realize who he was and got to talk to him briefly, but this chameleon character is something unforgettable.
I really love this channel. It's so relaxing to listen to, and incredibly informative!
I watched 'The Tingler' the other night, it's so clear when he's working with such material he's just having fun. He knows where it's coming from. Although, when he's in something like Witch Finder General or Masque of the Red Death he's quite disturbing and intense. I think he just knew exactly how to project the role with the script he was given.
My favourite Vincent Price movie is Theatre of Blood. Plays the part of Lionheart to absolute perfection, and does the deep tragedy moments and the blatantly comical just as brilliantly. As usual in so many Vincent Price horror performances, he can perform the most ghastly deeds while effortlessly gaining the sympathy of the audience. Vincent was thrilled at having such a distinguished cast to work with on ToB, and it was so obvious he had a great time doing it.
One of the most unique voices I ever heard
My introduction to VP was his role as the Narrator in Billy Van’s Canadian children’s show The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. 130 episodes in syndication throughout the 70’s. Brilliant.
How is it possible to pick a favourite from this great man's work? Theatre Of Blood certainly ranks, as does Phibes, both of them, but how about Diary Of An Opium Eater, with its epic drug induced dream sequence? I could watch them all again and again. The House On Haunted Hill is always high up the list too.
I love almost everything Vincent has done. I have both of his cookbooks and had one of them autographed by Vincent's daughter. She is an absolute sweet woman.
I love this channel. Instead of doing stupid top 10 guaranteed-view bullshit, you're covering important, thoughtful topics that you're clearly passionate about. Always a surprise to see the topics, always well-researched and a real pleasure to watch.
To be as humble, but so eloquent and articulate.
Perhaps the singular most influential actor of horror, to date.
Always pushing the psychological boundary. Yet considering him self learning in an emergent reality, a true master of his craft of dramaturge.
Wonderful video! I only wish it could have been longer, I could watch someone gush over Vincent Price for hours. He seemed to ooze kindness and good nature, and have a love for life. I think one of my favorite Price films is Madhouse, though I'm not sure why. on the surface it seems a little flat, but I just love watching it. Theatre of Blood is great fun, and so are the Phibes movies. I also like how he played Neville in Last Man on Earth. I could go on, but I'll just say that I tend to greatly enjoy your videos, and always look forward to them!
Your content is very enjoyable and you delivery is genuine.
Vincent Price was a living doll! I've never been a big fan of horror films, and there is very few that I like. I'll watch Theater of Blood and both Dr. Phibes films anytime. He, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee were just excellent gentlemen actors; and their inherent good character seemed to be visible to me at some point in every piece they starred in. I know is a fun place with you guys there.
The two Phibes movies and Theater of Blood are among the finest if not THE finest horror comedies ever made.
The joke with the fellow on the walkie talkie in the boot of the car in Theater gets me every time.
This might well be your best video to date. I have not watched them all; but I too am a Vincent Price fan. I had the great honor of meeting him once. I won't drone on about it, suffices to say he was a cheerful, patient and tactful gentleman to all. I told him my surreal riddle. I came up with it driving home from final exams one fall. The last exam was in Art History; and the last question was about Salvador Dali. Thus the surreal riddle. PM me if you would like to hear it.
