Many of the key films in the career of horror icon Vincent Price
(1911-1993) contain commentaries both obvious and subtle on the
role of women, not only in the context of the times in which the
films were created, but also during the historical periods depicted
in the storylines. This examination of Price's horror films focuses
on how the principal female characters--portrayed by such notable
actresses as Barbara Steele, Hazel Court and Diana Rigg, to name
but a few--are simultaneously villains, victims and objects of
veneration. Also considered are issues of gender and sexuality as
addressed in Vincent Price's most memorable movies. Included are
dozens of rare production stills, and a selected filmography that
provides significant background information on the films cited.
