Women in the Horror Films of Vincent Price
Author: Jonathan Malcolm Lampley
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078645749X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
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.

The Price of Fear: The Film Career of Vincent Price, In His Own Words
Author: Joel Eisner
Publisher: Black Bed Sheet Books
ISBN: 0988659026
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Prior to his death in 1993, Vincent Price was collaborating with Mr. Joel Eisner (author of the over 100,000 copy bestselling Official Batman Batbook concerning the ‘60’s Adam West Batman television series) to construct a definitive, official biography of his life and career in films. This is that book. Sanctioned by the Vincent Price Estate and daughter Victoria, THE PRICE OF FEAR is not only told through journalist Eisner’s personal interviews with Price himself but with the cooperation, direct interviews and quotes from many of those with whom Price worked with throughout his illustrious career. Before he passed away, all Vincent saw of this book was his fellow actor Peter Cushing’s heartfelt foreward. Introducing the true story of a man born within a moderately wealthy family of candy manufacturers in 1911 St. Louis, Missouri, whose interest in theatre during the Great Depression led him into eventually becoming, arguably, the most universally iconic personification of the horror genre in the entire encompassment of the 20st Century. That man was Vincent Leonard Price, Jr. What you now hold in your hands is the only authorized, official biography about Vincent Price’s entire life in films ever published in history with his direct participation and approval, in his own words. Never before has the story of Vincent’s life been told, how he rose from dramatic theatre and stage to joining the ranks of the early cultured Hollywood elite fresh from where motion pictures were first spawned to eventually spend his life behind horrifying makeup and horror genre movie roles at the sacrifice of a greater passion for fine art and comedy. For nearly a century, we’ve known the name. We’ve heard the voice. We’ve seen the many faces. At last, with The Price of Fear: The Film Career of Vincent Price, in His Own Words, we can know the man, directly from the legend himself, in this never-before-published highly entertaining and inspirational masterpiece.

Vincent Price Unmasked
Author: James Parish
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781719465199
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to Vincent Price Unmasked by James Robert Parish and Steven Whitney. Long known to movie fans as the "King of Horror," Vincent Price once reflected, "I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it." Over the decades, he appeared in such notable screen thrillers as Tower of London, House of Wax, The Fly, The Tingler, Pit and the Pendulum, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Madhouse. But the real-life Vincent Price was also the personification of a complete Renaissance man who insisted: "A man who limits his interests limits his life." This is the fascinating story behind the actor who became one of the most cultured-and popular-men of his time. From his appearances in more than 100 films and thousands of radio and TV shows the actor is well known. However, he also authored best-selling art books, lectured extensively on art and history, supervised the purchase of thousands of works of fine arts, wrote gourmet cookbooks, and served on the Indian Arts & Crafts Board. Vincent Price Unmasked is the engrossing portrait of this multi-faceted, highly talented celebrity. Completing this illuminating narrative is an annotated filmography.
