Cinematic Catharsis and I are now going into familiar yet uncharted territory with our blogathon subject, Vincent Price. Price is not just a renowned presence from our annual blogathon on all things Hammer and Amicus…

He is also well known for delightful appearances on the radio, stage or the big or wee screen. We’re hoping to celebrate many of his acting performances from his early days as a character actor to a leading man. This jack of all trades also had an interesting life off-screen too…

This actor’s captivating off-screen life story includes his claim to fame to some famous ancestors. He had other passions away from the camera, with his well-publicised loves of art and gourmet cooking.

His films and TV performances include characters in horror, thrillers, film noirs, parodies and animations. In his acting performances, he acted with the best of them.. with everyone from Charlton Heston to Bob Hope and Jack Nicholson to Christopher Lee. Actresses in his many, many films included Judy Matheson, Ava Gardner, Caroline Munro, Ruth Gordon and Diana Rigg.

He worked with directors including Cecil B. DeMille and Roger Corman. His distinctive voice has also been heard not only on the radio but accompanying the music of some famous pop stars. Price even released his own pop single in the 1970s.

It’s up to you how you want to tribute this actor.. and if you want to bounce off a more random choice of tribute, I’m happy to consider your suggestions. All we are asking is that in your post you are respectful of Price in your post as we are not accepting derogatory posts.
