      all great horror actors had a wonderful turn of pharase, voice: Karloff, Lugosi, Lorre, Rathbone, (Price of course), Lee, Cushing, Donald Pleasence, - and they all had a wicked sense of humor. Morgan Freeman's is like stale wonder bread compared to those.
      Actors who had a shot at playing a Disney Villain / or other iconic villain : have a shot there as well : Hans Conried, Verna bloom, Eleanor Audley, James Earl Jones (also check out his Tulsa Doom), James Woods, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Hopkins,
      they could read the telephone book and it would sell tickets.

      Here's a little secret: there are a few things Humor and Horror have in common:
      Timing
      Pacing
      Tension and Release
      Subversion
      Surprise
      The two genres appear to be vastly different, but they are as close as Professor Quirrel and Voldemort.

    My brother and I were friends with the manager of the Lexington KY opera house in the mid 70’s. He was friends with Vincent Prices PR man. When Price did his one man show “Diversions and Delights” playing Oscar Wilde in Lexington, our friend hosted a dinner party and Price and his PR man came! We all sat around the couch listening to Vincent tell stories. It was a magical night. I have a signed playbill and a signed poster from Price. I will never forget that night!

    • @moeball740
      @moeball740 Місяць тому +157

      I also saw Diversions and Delights bitd! The best story about Vincent Price that I've heard was from Richard O'Brien, who not only played Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Richard actually wrote the story and the songs. He basically is the creator of the Rocky Horror phenomenon. At any rate, before Rocky Horror became a popular movie, it was a very successful stage production. On opening night in London, however, no one had any idea about how amazing it would be. Richard O'Brien stood in the wings on stage looking out at the crowd in the theater, nervously waiting for the show to start, wondering whether all the work he had put into "his baby" would pay off. The lights went down, here we go! Just then a thunderstorm was going on outside, adding to the ambience, "it was a dark and stormy night". According to Richard, when the house lights went down, the theatre became dark, and just at that moment a flash of lightning happened outside! There was a skylight in the ceiling over the audience, and when the lightning flashed it illuminated a few seats directly underneath the skylight. Richard could easily identify who was sitting there, illuminated by the lightning, and it was none other than Vincent Price! Richard said he smiled at that point and took it as a sign that things were going to work out fine, as if his horror creation had just been blessed by the master of horror himself!
