#art#history: he was horror’s adonis with a wicked wit; a ‘muppet show’ favourite, a culinary whiz & an artist. alice cooper’s ‘welcome to my nightmare’ wouldn’t have achieved such iconic heights had it not included vincent price’s 'black widow' soliloquy. but his dramatic socio-political conclusion to the radio programme, ‘the saint’, which aired on 30 july, 1950,may come as a surprise to anyone who thought of him as merely a panto character. #vincentPrice#horror#illustration#film#cinema
in honour of vincent’s birth #otd in 1911, i’m leaving this part of the text:
‘ladies & gentlemen, poison doesn’t always come in bottles. & it isn’t always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. poison can take the form of words & phrases & acts: the venom of racial & religious hatred. here in the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must learn to recognise the poison of prejudice & to discover the antidote to its dangerous effects.’
This Sunday at 9pm eastern #MONSTERDON returns once more! This week we're giving ol' Roger Corman a salute, since he shuffled off to that great box office in the sky recently. Meaning we'll be watching THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961), which also features Vincent Price :D
This evening's viewing: Vincent Price, Robert (Count Yorga) Quarry, inept policemen, clockwork snakes, elaborate deaths in the desert & hidden Egyptian tombs, in a revisit to the delightfully daft Dr Phibes Rises Again.
