Dead Heat should go in the first post as well.

Hello, Great Owl!

Have you seen this film? I posted this earlier today, but it probably won't get seen too much now as it's on the previous page:

I've never seen 1988's DEAD HEAT. I'm guessing it's probably not worth owning if you're only interested in it for V.P., but can someone tell me what role he plays, and if it's somewhat substantial, or just a scene or two?

I was wondering the same thing...

Also, how about Monster Club and also From A Whisper To A Scream? Are these: 1) any good? 2) do these feature much of Price... or is it pretty small roles? Thanks!

small roles in both with the latter only in the opening and closing book-ends of the film.

Monster Club is cheesy as all get-out, with average at best stories and a particularly obnoxious habit of wasting time with groan-inducing "filler" of an awful pop band in a night club to pad the running time....you really have to see it to believe it!

From A Whisper To A Scream offers more memorable stories but it's a truly nasty piece of work that I was always surprised that Price appeared in! My guess is that he didn't realize now distasteful the stories played out when he signed the dotted line.

Neither film is "good" in my opinion but being a shameless horror fan typically doesn't stop me from adding mediocre genre flicks to my collection!!

From what I've read, he really regretted doing it.

I've got it on a double feature DVD with Theatre of Blood, and while it's enjoyable enough (in that nasty 80s horror movie kind of way), it's certainly the lesser of the two films.

A bit late to the conversation, but The Monster Club is brilliant IMO. You either get it or you don't I suppose. It is very cheesy but isn't meant to be taken seriously. You get a mix of stories, some with lots of humour and the last one is more serious horror.

I just forwarded through the band's performances lol

Has anybody mentioned THE FLY (1958)? Nice color and widescreen, and it ends with a notorious "gross-out" scene that was pretty intense stuff for 1958.

It's included in the first post of this thread. I always liked The Fly (1958 version). Especially like the "help me!" line

Price plays quite a small role in this, he's only in a couple of scenes in the end of the film. He plays a mad scientist character, who would've guessed But the film itself is highly enjoyable mix of cop comedy, action and zombie horror. Bad humour, lots of action and neat special effects.

Sadly, Dead Heat is still in my unwatched stack. Soon...

Does he have a big role in Captain Fabian ?

Whales of August (1987) with Vincent Price and Bette Davis was just announced today. I've added it to the first post.

I caught part of this movie on TCM awhile back... will be good to watch the entire thing on Blu.

it's a nice little film, a definite change of pace for Price--- I think I had it on VHS decades ago.... will be glad to add to my blu ray collection

I was also wondering this.

From the Blu-ray summary review, it sounds like Price has a significant role.

This is on my "to buy" list, but I haven't gotten it yet.

I think The Great Owl has it. Maybe he can chime in (unless it's in that pile of unwatched Blu's with DEAD HEAT)

I just saw this today at my local Midwest chain store... I remembered it from this thread and picked it up off the shelf and started reading the back. I'm a sucker for the physical media cases. I came close to blind-buying it... but my trade-in credit at this store wasn't enough for it. Maybe next time!
