He would be 101 today.

My mom and Mr. Price dated for awhile during the 1950s. It didn't last long because he wasn't in the market for a trophy wife.

I have four of his cookbooks on 33 rpm LPs. Pretty awesome stuff.

Aw, this isn't about a weirdo who kills people using roller coasters? I am disappoint.

my very most-favorite show as a wee monster-mad lad.

You're missed, Mr. Price. You're missed.

This program shows the prototype suspended coaster that became The Bat that opened at Kings Island a few years later.

brantgoose: I'll try to watch something I've never seen in his honour tonight, web speed permitting.

I saw The Ωmega Man last night.

/netflixed The Last Man on Earth a few months back.

Subby here. You will notice the model includes a corkscrew. Don't know if you heard the story about the prototype version with the corkscrew built. It was cycled ONCE. The original car was a wooden platform with tires on it for weight ballast. During the corkscrew, the car pretty much fell apart, pieces flying far, hitting the manufacturing building side. So that was the end of trying inversions on suspendeds. (friend who worked there told me about that).

//meeting the producer of the movie in 2 weeks, am excited. Coaster media day :D

Going to Kings Dominion myself Friday, so glad Cedar Fair owns it now. Even more coasters, 2 since they took it over!

Price + Poe + Corman = Pure Awesome!

"He's my favorite *everything*", as Dana Gould would say.

CSB time:

I used to live in the City(Hamilton ,Ontario, Canada) where they filmed that little slice of ghoulish delight. I had helped out a cameraman when I was working down the road from the old studios and he shared this little Gem on Mir Price.

They shot all of the bumpers and the intro/outro in one week. It was during one of those that everything that could go wrong, did.. boom in shot, noise off stage, the works. So, after a while of this, Vincent got up, and asked for someone to call him a cab. They all though he had mentaly said "FTS!" and bailed. About a half hour later, he comes walking back in with a 24 pack of beer, sat it down on the craft services table, and started passing them out. Naturaly they called it early that day. And the rest, is history.

chestermania: Guess is Vincent was not much of Coaster enthusiast, revealed by his calling them "Rolly Coasters."



Also: shut your mouth. Vincent Price can be anything he wants. Shut up.

I have been a HUGE Price fan since i was a kid.. but about 5 years ago i saw a movie of his called Theater of Blood, to me its by far his best work.. the movie is cheesy as hell, but his acting is just perfect.. and he gets to spout off alot of Shakespeare, so if you can find it please check it out

No matter how bad the script, or how low the budget, Vincent always gave 101%.
