in honour of vincent’s arrival #otd in 1911, i gift you 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.’

'in a world where slaughter & vicious crimes are daily occurrences, a good ghoulish movie is comic relief.'

#art #history: horror’s adonis & wicked wit; a ‘muppet show’ favourite, a culinary whiz, an artist - vincent price MADE alice cooper’s ‘welcome to my nightmare’ with his black widow soliloquy. but his dramatic socio-political conclusion to the radio programme, ‘the saint’, may come as a surprise to anyone who thought of him as merely a panto character.

This wonderful man had one of the best voices on the planet. In honor of Vincent Price's birthday, do yourselves a huge favor and go purchase The Price of Fear. 20 fantastic tales from BBC Radio 4. He could have read the dictionary, and I would have been enthralled.

Happy Birthday, Vincent Price. 🖤
