Vincent Price plays a Shakespearian actor Edward Lionheart, who
re-enacts murder scenes penned by the famous bard, in order to gain
revenge on the nine theatre critics who have denied him the Best
Actor of the Year award. His accomplice is his devoted daughter
(Diana Rigg) and together they seek revenge in a most bloody and
violent way: one critic is decapitated in his bed, one is made to
murder his own wife and another is forced to eat his beloved dogs.
Sherlock Holmes' mouse counterpart Basil lives in the basement of
221B Baker Street, just below the great man himself. Hired to
locate a kidnapped toymaker, Basil and his trusty sidekick Dawson
soon find themselves up against their arch-enemy Professor Ratigan.
It seems Ratigan wants to use the toymaker to make a mechanical
replica of the Queen who will then bestow the villain with the
right to rule over rodent London - but not if Basil can find a way
to stop him.
1960s drama in which a couple on holiday in Tangiers find
themselves caught up in a mystery involving a missing woman and the
slave trade. Stephen Armstrong (George Nader) and his wife Marie
(Ann Smyrner) are horrified when they hear that a woman known to
them, the beautiful Diane (Maria Rohm), has gone missing. They duly
agree to help investigate and come across conniving magician
Manderville (Vincent Price) and his assistant Rebecca (Martha
Hyer), who appear to be affiliated to a mysterious place known as
the 'House of 1,000 Dolls'. Have the pair been using their hypnotic
abilities for evil purposes?
In the tradition of Anna Quindlen’s Good Dog. Stay., the iconic
star of the Dr. Phibes films shares the heartwarming tale of his
mischievous mutt. Actor Vincent Price won acclaim for his
performances as a menacing villain in dozens of macabre horror
films, such as House of Wax. Less well known, though, is Price’s
lifelong love of animals, especially his fourteen-year-old mutt,
Joe. From his wife’s passion for poodles to film set encounters
with all types of creatures, including goats, apes, and camels,
Price’s life was full of furry, four-legged friends. But it was
Joe who truly captured his heart. Intelligent, courageous, and
devoted to his owner, Joe was a special dog with a personality all
his own. In this touching and light-hearted memoir, with a
new introduction by Bill Hader and a preface by Vincent Price’s
daughter, Victoria, Joe gets involved in all sorts of hijinks: At
one point, the actor has to defend his canine companion in court!
Despite some bad habits, like stealing guests’ shoes, pursuing
lustful trysts with neighboring dogs, or belly flopping into the
garden fishpond—crushing more than a few fish—Price loves his
Joselito, whose unconditional loyalty more than makes up for his
minor indiscretions. And when Price’s elderly cousin who comes to
stay with him is stricken with cancer, Joe never leaves her side.
Price’s tender and witty recollections of his time spent with Joe
will bring joy to any animal lover’s heart. The Vincent
Price Family Legacy will donate a portion of the proceeds from this
book to the Fund for Animals.
Published in 1959, this book is what Vincent Price called his
“visual autobiography” — the story of his life through his
48th year as seen through the lens of his greatest passion, the
visual arts. Peppered with lively stories about both his art
collecting and advocacy as well as his career as an actor, I Like
What I Know is written in an approachable and entertaining style,
capturing what has drawn fans to Vincent Price throughout his
distinguished 65-year-career and in the two decades since his death
in 1993.
