Vincent Price on Blu-ray

[glennstl]

I'm a huge fan. I was wondering if there's anyone here who already have a similar thread. I'm curious as to trying to compile a list of any Price Blu-Ray already release.

Here is a list of what is currently available in the U.S. (thanks to member cakefactory for explaining! )

[BD]207223[/BD]BD][/BD]BD]


NOTE: Price only appears as a cameo voice in Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein. Price only appears in the Batman episodes with Egg Head. Price only has a cameo in Scavenger Hunt. In the Invisible Man set, Price only appears in the 2nd movie in this set, The Invisible Man Returns.Price only appears in the movie, The Tower of London, in the Universal Horror Collection, Vol. III. In the Fly Collection, Price appears only in the first Fly (1958) and Return of the Fly (1959) movies.


Note: Below is a list of exactly what Price movies are included in each of the 3 Vincent Price Collections.

contains the following Blu-ray movies:

I own all three volumes of the sf blu ray sets( I had to go through hell to find volume 1 at a decent price. I also own: Mad Magician, Madhouse, Twice Told Tales, Tales of Terror, Monster Club, From a Whisper to a Scream, Theatre of Blood, House of the Long Shadows, House of Wax, The Fly, The Oblong Box, Edward Scissorhands, The egghead episodes from batman. I also own a vincent price episode from Night Gallery. Everything is on blu ray except for Night Gallery.

[The Great Owl]

I own all of Vincent Price's movies that are available on Blu-ray, except for Scavenger Hunt, where he is featured in a cameo. I'll probably grab that one soon.

45 of the Blu-rays in my collection star Price.

There are only a handful of Vincent Price horror films left that have not made it to Blu-ray (The Tingler being one of them), so it's just a matter of time.

[PissedOffPeoN]

The Tingler is on Blu ray in Germany ;-)

I'll have to get that disc. I have their release of Night/Curse of the Demon and it is really great. The Tingler is one of the few major horror/sci-fi titles of that era I still haven't seen.

[moviebuff75]

I have "The Ten Commandments," "The Fly," "House of Wax," "Laura," and "Batman" episodes on blu.

You can get an approximation of Vincent Price releases by just looking at releases that have him tagged with the US filter on:

https://www.blu-ray.com/Vincent-Price/67103/#Bluray

Any thread about him has the issue that it would probably include the serious films that have him in a tiny role. I think many of us are interested mainly in all the horror/sci-fi/fantasy where he's in "Vincent Price" mode.

Minor Spoiler:

Vinnie does a surprise cameo in BEACH PARTY (but it isn't on Blu-ray yet).

[glennstl]

Absolutely love Vincent Price.

The prize of my Blu-ray collection ( probably tied with the Halloween 15 disc box set) is Scream's Vincent Price Collection I. I just wish it would somehow ( I realize there are film right's issues preventing this right now) come back in print.

I've got a bunch of Price on Blu: Vincent Price Collection Vol. I, II, III, Laura, House of Wax 3D, The Bat, Tales of Terror, Mad House, The Oblong Box, Twice Told Tales and House of The Long Shadows.

I just ordered Theatre of Blood from Twilight Time due to their March Madness sale (it runs one more day, through March 31 if anyone is interested... $19.95).

I'll eventually get Mad Magician.

Hope any remaining Price is released on Blu soon. I can't believe The Tingler hasn't been released yet. Someone has to get on that ASAP.

I randomly saw this a few months ago on TCM... and was shocked when he randomly appeared! Very cool!

[octagon]

Wow, was this really not a thread already?

That's a hell of an oversight, actually.

[chriszilla]

We should have a running list as part of the first post here, with the cover artwork, as many threads have. It makes for a handy checklist for people keeping track of what they have, and what they still need to get.

The only Price genre titles I'm lacking on Blu are HOUSE OF 1000 DOLLS, HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS and FROM A WHISPER TO A SCREAM. Of his dramatic roles, I still need to get LAURA, ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN FABIAN, LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, KEYS OF THE KINGDOM and SONG OF BERNADETTE. I've actually never seen those last 4 films.

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

Here's hoping HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES, CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER, and oh, yeah, an obscure one called THE TINGLER get a release on Blu-ray soon! THE TINGLER has got to be one of the more popular vintage B-movie horror films not available on Blu at this point!

Part of the problem is it would have to have movies separated into vincent price movies and movies that happen to have him in it for it to be usable. Big headache!

If you don't know enough about the movies to differentiate, though, it wouldn't really be much work to just copy all the blu-ray IDs from that actor link I posted and just make a big randomly ordered list of all of them using the BD tags.

Somebody like NoirFan needs to do this.

Come on, NoirFan. You're letting us down!

1) Defintely agree about making a running list with artwork....wish I knew how to do this, but unfortunately no idea. Hopefully another fan here does.

2) Never seen Confessions of an Opium Eater. Is this an actual horror movie, or is it more like the Bikini series?

Also, what purely horror genre titles with Price haven't been released yet? Besides The Tingler? Thanks!

It's really easy, you just go to the page for the blu-ray, copy the id at the end of the url, and then paste it into a forum window and click the "BD" button next to the spoiler tag. This turns it into a picture of the artwork that links to the disc.

Ex: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Theat...lu-ray/131107/ = 131107

Then take that number and put the [BD ] tags around it :



I'd do it if I had a good list of Vincent Price movies with any sort of note as to which are genre flicks and how much screentime he had. I banged out the first version of the Hammer list in my signature in a couple hours, since I was working off a DVD list I'd found elsewhere, and had also done a bunch of reading on their films beforehand so I had a very good idea of what else was out there for the second post that included all their other non-horror genre flicks. It's mainly just difficult to add new things since you have to shuffle all the lines of BD links if you're keeping them in some kind of order.

I have a Vincent Price-related story. My parents live in Albuquerque (I live in Denver) and I was visiting them last year. I walk into a grocery store and Price's son and daughter are in there shopping together. I recognized Price's son because I'd seen him speak before and recognized his daughter from various interviews she's given on her dad. I work up the nerve to walk over to them and introduce myself. The one question I had was what their favorite Vincent Price movie is. His son told me "Theatre of Blood" and his daughter told me "Laura". They could not have been nicer and more appreciative of my enthusiasm for their dad's work.

Oh wow. Confessions Of An Opium Eater. I saw that on the big screen last year courtesy of Joe Dante. He curated a selection of films for a theatre here. What a blast that was. Opium Eater is a strange film, certainly not designed to please everyone. I thought about picking up the dvd but held off thinking they might upgrade that to blu-ray. In some ways it could be seen as a sort of pre-cursor to Big Trouble In Little China, but not nearly as slick. Plot-wise however, there are several similarities. The beginning of the film is a full-on action scene that goes on for several minutes without any dialogue. Really kinda threw me off actually. There's also a drug-fueled hallucination sequence in that movie that really stands out. A strange oddity, this film. Yes, I love it.

Cakefactory,

Thanks so much, I'm on it now

[Jobla]

I think it's Warner Archives that released the MOD of CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER. Their print actually has the original title. All other prints of it that I saw over the years, including one I screened in 16mm, bore the alternate title SOULS FOR SALE. The MOD's cover art is pretty great.
