Agreed, the great Vincent Price was a true star, and a gorgeous human being. The world is a lesser place without him, but a better place because he was here.
I recently downloaded The Saint volume 1 and 2, however every episode I purchased didn't allow access from ITunes. I love listening to it, his Char is such fun. You can see the story play out in your head so vividly..
Price's laughter at Gorshin's "Antipasto" joke seems completely legitimate. Wouldn't be surprised if Gorshin threw that one at him unrehearsed. Great moment. :P
Getting early start on Halloween celebration. So appreciate seeing and hearing these classy, eloquent, well spoken stars of horror from the Saturday matinees and late night movies of my childhood. Truly enjoyed hearing the admiration and knowledge of Mr. Price and the others of these iconic films. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for featuring this in my recommended, I do indeed enjoy my regular horror. One of the incredible aspects to Vincent's career was his ability to play both the good or bad guy. Most people only talk about his sinister roles, of which he had an untouchable talent, but he also played the victim, with equal ease & ease. RIP Mr Price, your legend will live on, thank you for your work.
I'm very glad people are enjoying this...This appears to be my rip I did years ago from a VHS tape someone sent to me, and I got recorded onto DVD. I believe I posted this on a couple of horror sites. I recognize the particular imperfections and such in this recording, which is how I knew it was the one I shared years ago. I'm pretty sure I saw this the night it originally aired on late-night network television. Will see what I can do about trying to clean it up a bit, and get it into HD resolution...but I doubt much can be done with this recording. Would be much better if someone found the original video master or even a secondary broadcast tape. There's also a similar one done years later hosted by Anthony Perkins called The Horror Show. Will have to see about getting that up also.
I really wish there was a proper dvd release, its a real treasure. But I'm just glad it exists. I'm not monetizing it, btw, it's monetized by the copyright holders (MGM and Warner Brothers). I just put it up here for folks to enjoy. If you have a cleaner copy you should definitely post it!
I'm going to try and work with the recording I already have on DVD. Otherwise, I can try digging out the VHS tape I have and making a newer, possibly slightly higher quality recording to work from. Depending how this turns out I'll let you know.
Well, I tried on both specials using Handbrake, and it really didn't help a whole lot. I can still upload what I did here, but there really wasn't a great improvement. If a recording is bad enough, there isn't a whole lot that can be done with it to improve it.
Frank Gorshin was one of the best/funniest impressionists I've ever seen. I wish they had more of that kind of his work preserved. He just eclipsed Rich Little - who was no slouch! And, of course, Price was...priceless!
Thank you for sharing this! Finding a special about classic horror movies is always a treat, but when it stars Vincent Price, Frank Gorshin, John Carradine, and John Astin it's especially great for us monster-kids!
He was on a lecture tour talking about his remarkable career and came to Greensboro, NC. I was about thirteen years old and I went with my dad. It was right after Thriller came out and he joked some about that as it was so hugely popular at the time. We waited outside the rear stage door by his limo and, after about thirty minutes, Mr. Price walked out the door and came towards us. He was very tall and had on a black overcoat. He approached me first and extended his hand. We talked a few moments. He was very warm and gracious. A true gentleman.
@@scottmoore1614 What a lovely memory, very special. It doesn't surprise me he greeted you, the child, first, he was above all a kind man. Very envious you got to shake hands with the great man, a memory to cherish forever!
@@glamdolly30 He was the first celebrity I met. I’ve met a few others since then but none matched the thrill of meeting Vincent Price. To see someone that legendary walking towards me was truly remarkable. Coming out of the rear stage door in that black overcoat was like a scene out of one of his movies. I didn’t want to wash my hand for about a week.
He was such a delightful man and by far the funniest of 'em all. Sent me an inscribed photo and note when I was ten. I can't tell you how thrilled I was (and still am)!
Being the host segments were on video, an HD version would have to be simply upscaled...you can't copy old format video into HD like you can with film.
@@kriegerg69 Absolutely right. That's why taped TV shows like "All in the Family" will never look any better than the DVD transfer, and why "Gone with the Wind" looks beautiful in HD because it was originally on film.
wow great to see the actors who played Egghead and both versions of the Riddler on the 60s Batman show together again in one TV special Gorshin and Astin played the Riddle and of course Price played Egghead.
@@janel.8921 Peter Cushing's date of birth was 26th May 1913, the day before Vincent Price and Christopher Lee's birthday (Vincent Price's date of birth 27th May 1911, and Christopher Lee's 27th May 1922). So Vincent was the oldest of those three horror legends. Funny that their birthdays fall so close together, I guess an astrologer would say it's all in the stars!
Would love to have met vincent price and boris karloff great actors only recently discovered the colonel march series with boris so good, loved the fact that vincent loved to cook
I have watched this more times than I can count. I had this on VHS. Shame they didn't do more of these back then, since everything had these kinds of shows.
"Revamps"? Not quite...but there were some other similar specials into the 90's, like one in the early 90's which John Astin hosted called The Halloween Monster Bash. I just found out my old rip of that one is already here on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/jOTRtmZRx_M/w-d-xo.html
I am surprised that neither Frank Gorshin nor Vincent Price mentioned their shared Batman TV Series experiences !! Also surprising is no mention of John Astin's portrayal of the Riddler on the 1966 Batman show .
I recognized that first guest instantly even though the name means nothing. Its the Riddler. This wasnt that long after Batman TV show so I guess he should look the same. sadly died 2005.
For Music there was Elvis, for horror movie's there was Mr. Vincent Price. Thanks to the creator of TH-cam you have you personal favorite one's at the tip of your fingers. Thank you You Tube, no one really watches television any longer we are all on TH-cam.
igor is played by billy van in this show and in case you forgot vincent and billy worked together on the show frightenstein but they were never on camera at the same time!!
The merchandizing from 32:00 onwards makes me wonder what the brilliant mind and talents of Mel Blanc would have done with animated versions of characters from this genre...
Peter Lorre didn't want to make Mad Love. When he came to America he wanted to film Crime and Punishment but they made him make that creepy movie Mad Love first.
Once I saw these familiar sets, Vincent Price, Billy Van, and heard the bad jokes I figured this had to be from the makers of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
Being Romanian (Transylvanian), I found the reference to Vlad Țepeș (especially the way they pronounced it) most amusing. Glad to see they did some research. Not everything they say is accurate, though...
What channel did this air on at the time? My Pops and I watched everything classic horror movie stuff as I was growing up in the 70s. I am sure we watched this, but I was only 8 at the time. Thanks so much for sharing! This was wonderful fun!
I love how Vincent Price always sounded like he was having the time of his life!
He really does!
cuz he was.
I like how Vincent Price is respectful to the people he interviews, even in this fun, silly show. He appears to be listening carefully.
Vincent Price is the all time greatest- I am so glad I got to watch this
Vincent Price was one of our great Actors & a real Gentleman A Great Chef & Art Collector etc May he RIP & is Sadly missed by all of his Fans etc.
A fine actor and a fantastic show.
They need to bring this Halloween tv event back and have DC icon TheBatMan host this Hollween tn event Halloween 2021.
Coziest special ever
No doubt!
I love that he was always in on the joke. Completely embraced his persona. We are all luckier for it.
Agreed, the great Vincent Price was a true star, and a gorgeous human being. The world is a lesser place without him, but a better place because he was here.
Vincent Price is the man
Indeed!
Vincent Price had a classy distinctive voice a voice that can be used in different movies and shows RIP Mr Price
Vincent Price on the radio was also awesome , The Saint is worth buying the entire set
I recently downloaded The Saint volume 1 and 2, however every episode I purchased didn't allow access from ITunes. I love listening to it, his Char is such fun. You can see the story play out in your head so vividly..
Vincent Price will forever be a national treasure. Thank you for uploading this Doc!
I love how Vincent embraced his Horror roots. Even today its looked down upon as a genre. But Vincent always seemed proud of being known for it.
You can tell Vincent is having too much fun with this, as were everyone here
Totally!
Price's laughter at Gorshin's "Antipasto" joke seems completely legitimate. Wouldn't be surprised if Gorshin threw that one at him unrehearsed. Great moment. :P
Vincent price is my favorite acter of all time
He was a one of a kind!
Pure classic. Days long gone. I do miss the 70s TV programming.
What a brilliant show. Vincent Price was a true horror talent.
I loved all the Universal monster movies, can't believe I never saw this. Love anything with Vincent Price in it.

I loved the horror show . saw on tv when I was a kid . I'm 48 !
Thanks for this!.It was like going back and reading the old “Famous Monsters” Magazines I loved so much as a kid
Frank Gorshin was one of the best/funniest impressionists I've ever seen. I wish they had more of that kind of his work preserved. He just eclipsed Rich Little - who was no slouch! And, of course, Price was...priceless!
All the greats of that era were so talented!
This is an American media treasure. Charming, spooky, and very funny. I demand a 4K restoration! Thank you for posting this!
Such a great actor! He could take any role and turn it into gold! I love his narration in the Alice Cooper song Devil’s Food!👍👍👍 R.I.P. Mr. Price
There are definitely no more talented artists like Vincent Price! Definitely a class act!!!
Vincent was kind and wonderful soul RIP
Haven't seen this since the 1970's. Thank you.
+James Grassia They don't make TV like this anymore, unfortunately!
🦇💀🕷 Love it,delightful from start to finish.
This is really good stuff they should put this on DVD and clean it up thanks for posting it
I was born in 1972 and I can recall so many things had Mr Vincent price involved.
Simply wonderful. thank you for posting this. I can't help but notice how similar Vincent's dress here is to his garb in Theatre Of Blood.
It was shot around the same time, so probably not by accident.
Lionheart lives!
That was a total fun time, Thanks for posting
What great actors! I loved all these old horror movies with them.
I am enjoying this. I checked Price’s IMDB listing, and I don’t see this listed. Anyway, this man had a legendary career, thanks for posting this Doc.
Thank you for sharing this! Finding a special about classic horror movies is always a treat, but when it stars Vincent Price, Frank Gorshin, John Carradine, and John Astin it's especially great for us monster-kids!

Ohhh ive loved Vincent for all my life ' especially alongside Lee an Cushing
Thank you so much for this. I'm 60 years old so I am one of those original monster kids lol.
Awesome! They don't make em like this anymore!
I sooo love the classics and the horror movie hosts them. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
He was such a delightful man and by far the funniest of 'em all. Sent me an inscribed photo and note when I was ten. I can't tell you how thrilled I was (and still am)!
Nice! That's extremely cool
Wow this via great. What a nice find
His Dr phibes films prove what a natural comic talent was. Sheer class.
You know nothing will be Halloween without Horror because Horror Hall of Fame I believe watching it came back from the past grave
Never seen before. Great. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
R.I.P To a Great Actor Vincent Price,The True King Of Horror
That was very cool, thanks! @10:15, Frank's cig ashes go on the ground and Vincent is staring at the carpet, lol.
I saw this on television when I was a kid. Thanks for posting this.💀
My first encounter with this fun movie tonight! Thank God for VHS. Would love to see this cleaned up and HD'd.
Me too, this is a real gem. Glad someone recorded it so we can at least see it, but an HD version would be fantastic!
@@drgangrene I would prefer a black and white version , this colour technology ruin the picture quality

Vincent Price referring to himself as “Lady Killer”! My god he was such a ham 😂
Indeed he was! A loveable one!
I adore this man, as you know. Thanks so much!!!!
Yes indeed! This show was so much fun! Love that they mention Famous Monsters of Filmland too.
I loved that magazine when I was a kid. Internet Archive has a lot of them to read and download. Oh such fun.
wow great to see the actors who played Egghead and both versions of the Riddler on the 60s Batman show together again in one TV special Gorshin and Astin played the Riddle and of course Price played Egghead.
Very true, it was indeed a bat-reunion.
@@drgangreneand Carolyn jones Marsha queen of diamonds
Vincent was a CLASS A act for sure. Very good friends with Sir Christopher Lee aka Dracula. And he was a very learned man of Shakespeare.
The kind of friend , you will never have 😊😊 , the power to make you fell better , cozy ,
Vincent Price is the perfect "Versatile Villain".
He could be anything he wanted, even funny!
@@corishehorn1331 agreed
It's always been said that the horror stars like Boris and Lee and price are among the nicest people around.
Great!! Thank god for , u tube love the old stuff . Especially Vincent Price he's a mentor and freind.
This kind of content is a real gem, I'm glad it was preserved, there's nothing like it anymore.
Ahhhhh…..You Are My Hero Mr.Vincent ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you !
Vincent calling him "Chris Lee" at 45:31 is so beautiful and wholesome! The two shared a birthday together (May 27) and became close friends 🥺
Wasn’t Peter Cushing’s birthday May 26 or May 28?
@@janel.8921 Peter Cushing's date of birth was 26th May 1913, the day before Vincent Price and Christopher Lee's birthday (Vincent Price's date of birth 27th May 1911, and Christopher Lee's 27th May 1922).

This is great!!!!
I have watched this more times than I can count. I had this on VHS. Shame they didn't do more of these back then, since everything had these kinds of shows.
I agree, it's just so much fun.
If Sunny and Cher can have 18 special in the 70's, then these guys could too. Even the revamps in the early 90's wasn't as good as this one.
"Revamps"? Not quite...but there were some other similar specials into the 90's, like one in the early 90's which John Astin hosted called The Halloween Monster Bash. I just found out my old rip of that one is already here on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/jOTRtmZRx_M/w-d-xo.html
Watching the Bill Hader SNL skits makes me appreciate this more.
Bill Harder sucks!
Nope!
Horrid humor, but interesting discussions.
John Carradine DID play monsters...Dracula 1945's "House of Dracula" Invisible Alien in "Invisible Invaders" 1950's...
I am surprised that neither Frank Gorshin nor Vincent Price mentioned their shared Batman TV Series experiences !! Also surprising is no mention of John Astin's portrayal of the Riddler on the 1966 Batman show .
That is true! Maybe they all compared notes offscreen. I'd like to think so!
...but at least Price and Carradine shared their experiences of each making an Invisible Man movie. :)
I recognized that first guest instantly even though the name means nothing. Its the Riddler. This wasnt that long after Batman TV show so I guess he should look the same. sadly died 2005.

Vincent Price, Legend.
Bless his soul in heaven. Rip Mr price
Gonna watch this on Halloween.
Interesting.
So awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vincent Price is the goat!
BEING CANADIAN, GREW UP W/ HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN! VINCENT WAS GREAT!
igor is played by billy van in this show and in case you forgot vincent and billy worked together on the show frightenstein but they were never on camera at the same time!!
Very true!
Named my first born son after Vincent Price !
Well done!
Very cool! It's a great name, and how nice to memorialise such a great star and human being, through your beloved son.
This is a good one
Here! Here! Well done! Cheers!🧟♂️🍷
I still love your show.i haven't got to catch it.i hope and wish we can do a video.
Forgot how much I loved John Austin
Astin
The merchandizing from 32:00 onwards makes me wonder what the brilliant mind and talents of Mel Blanc would have done with animated versions of characters from this genre...
That would have been something!
Has anyone seen him roast Bette Davis? He is a natural comedian, so funny, it’s on here
Peter Lorre didn't want to make Mad Love. When he came to America he wanted to film Crime and Punishment but they made him make that creepy movie Mad Love first.
Stuff like thsi should have gotten him a Leading man Academy award.
I watched this Hollween tv event.
Such an intelligent man
"guests? guests are invited. I dont remember inviting you"
Boris had a point
miss our gentleman so much why everything has to be transient
Once I saw these familiar sets, Vincent Price, Billy Van, and heard the bad jokes I figured this had to be from the makers of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
Could be, that had never occurred to me. I love thesesets though, would love to have those for my own use.
3:05 Billy Van Playing Zuckman , A Co star of Frightenstein that show with Vincent Price In it too.
Vincent Price is awesome!
I would love Vincent Price to narrate my life.
Price did a lot of gigs for the money because of his love of collecting art
GORSHIN AND PRICE!!!! WOW ALL I CAN SAY!!!
GREAT pair!
The voice... the cardiac arrest ...
