Welcome! |

A word of explanation:
2009 is the 10-year anniversary of this site. To celebrate, I'd like to be
able to expand the collection as much as possible. In particular, I'd like
to be able to bid on items being sold on eBay by Victoria Price from her
father's estate. It breaks my heart that so many personal family items are
going to private collections where no one else will be able to enjoy them.
As you know, this site is my way of sharing memorabilia with the world at
large. All of VP's fans should have access to it! If you'd like to donate,
please do. If you don't or can't, that's OK too! 100% of what I receive in
donations will go toward expanding this site. Please see the new
'Friends of
the Exhibit' page for the names of those who have kindly given. Thanks!

This poster-size crayon drawing of
Vincent Price was done by artist and illustrator Don Freeman, best known for his
children's books about 'Corduroy,' the little stuffed bear. Freeman, who died
in the 1970's appears to have drawn it at an American Libraries Association
conference. I purchased it on eBay!

A Request |
|
I have spent many hours putting this site together,
using items from my own collection. If you desire to use an image from
this site, either ask for permission (at the above email address), or -- at
least -- include a credit or link to this site. It's very frustrating to
find my scans on other sites, used without any mention of their origin. This is stealing!

June 23, 2008: Attention Phibes fans!
As a librarian, I run across all types of useless information every day.
Today, however, I ran across something pretty cool! North of Houston,
Texas, in the town of Spring, there is actually a street named Phibes Trail!
What a great place to have your picture taken! Click on the button for
the Vincent Price Tour Guide in the right column to see where it is on a
map!
June 18, 2008: 'Dragonwyck' coming to
DVD! The 1946 20th Century Fox production that first cast Vincent
Price in the gothic world he'd preside over in the 1960's Poe films is being
released on DVD in September.
Here's more!
June 16, 2008: FanCon dedicated to
Vincent Price! If you live anywhere near Pittsburgh, PA, you might
want to look into attending
The Monster Bash Expo &
Film Fest June 20 - 22. It's
got some great guests and is dedicated to VP!
Here's more info.

Bluewater Productions

announcement at Bluewater for the full story. |
April 17, 2008: Hazel Court has died.
Sad news indeed. Beautiful VP costar in The Raven and Masque

Must-See DVD! |

Definitive Todd
Slaughter!
If you're a Vincent Price fan, then
you've GOT to get to know Tod Slaughter! He was England's answer to
Karloff and Lugosi in the 30's and 40's, but -- sadly --never became as widely
known. Now -- thanks to the aptly named Johnny Legend -- it's your chance
with this 2-film DVD of two of his greatest films, featuring restored and
reframed prints of both! I just got mine, and there's no better way to see
the scenery-chewing greatness of Mr. Slaughter! Order your copy today from
either
Amazon.com, or directly from
legendhouse.net
PS I get NO portion of the
profits for advertising this DVD...that's how much I love it!
