Vincent Price Gives An Introduction To The Haunted Palace 

I know. Why is it every time he opened his mouth and says anything, it’s poetry?

I love this post. So true haha.

Well said, sir. So true. "True! Truuueee!! Trrruuuuueeeee!!!" [Forgive my attempt at humor here... I was just channeling my inner Price as Nicholas Medina from "Pit & the Pendulum"-- w/regards to his repeated, screaming response of "True!" as he flees in a fit of inconsolable guilt & horror upon seeing what he "believes" to be evidence that his suspicions were correct, in that he had accidentally had his beloved Elizabeth(Barbara Steele)interred alive!🙄 Another film gem!] The only thing I'd add to ur comment is that while the film breathes life into Lovecraft's magnificent work thru its mood & tone, it also still manages to capture that classic gothic aesthetic & atmosphere that is so commonly found in the rest of the Corman-Poe cycle of films! I know it's a cliche, but they really don't make 'em like they used to! I'm 42 yrs old, but have been told by just about everyone I know that I am "an old soul"... & I'm inclined to agree! Not that I don't like any contemporary horror films. Not at all! I luv a TON of contemporary horror films! There's just something about the older films that are like "movie comfort food"🥞to me, lol. Give me an A.I.P, Hammer, or Amicus horror film w/Price, Cushing, or Lee & I'm in Heaven! And the '30s & '40s Universal monster films are enjoyable alternatives, as well! I guess, as my OCD is spurring me on, lol... I will go ahead & state that, in terms of "older" horror, I am also a massive fan of the BBC "A Ghost Story for Christmas" series of short films(many based on stories by the great M.R. James). Thankfully they(Mark Gatiss, mainly)have revived that series on Christmas Eve the past 2 yrs(I live in the U.S., so I've had to wait till someone has posted the short film on RU-vid before I can see it; but I feel more than glad that they're being made again & that I'm able to watch them at all!). Anyways, just wanted to agree w/ur post, & ended up putting down all this stuff. Smh.😏 Regardless, "The Haunted Palace" is a fantastic picture! But then, as I stated, pretty much anything w/Price is fantastic in my book!😎👍🏻

VP was always good.

@@jeffreyberkin-ez3uh I agree. Vincent Price was always a class act.

And an incredibly SEXY man and talented, too! ;)

And an excellent cook.

There will never be another

i just called vincent price 😊

@jeffj-I especially liked the one he narrated about the rats that invaded the lighthouse. Creepy!

I do. i watch his films during the day and, at night, i fall asleep listening to his radio recordings. sometimes i have nightmares....

I believe it was in the 80s, but I don't know the exact year. Iowa Public Television asked him on a whim if he would come to their studio to film these intros (probably not believing he would actually do it), and he's such a good sport that he did, just because they asked! Such a great guy. :-D

On the one hand this almost guarantees death...but on the other hand, IT'S VINCENT PRICE! I can die happy knowing I got to see him at least once.

me too! And a great score by Ronald Stein .
