Favourite Vincent Price movie?

This was mentioned in the House on Haunted Hill thread, but to avoid hijacking it, I decided to start this.

I love any VP movie Ive seen, heres a breakdown:


House on Haunted Hill: Amazing Movie, and IMO his secnd best performace. 1st of his that I saw.

Pit and the Pendulum: Best Vincent Price movie ever. Heck, one of the best horror movies ever, period. The scene in Catherines crypt was incredibly chilling!

House of Wax: Very good movie, although I found it to be one of his lesser performances. But the opening with the wax all melting, the museum burning....Awesome

Fall of the House of Usher: Very similar to P&P, however the storyline wasnt quite as strong. Mr. Price's performance could quite possibly be teied for his best.

Dr. Phibes: Although I didnt care much for part of this movie, as a whole it was amazing. A different side of Vincent, he relies much less on his outstanding voice, but when he does speak in this one, it chills the bone. One of my all time favourite horror quotes came from this masterpiece "9 Killed you....9 Shall Die....9 eternities in doom!". Very quoteable film.

The Bat: His charcacter was grossly underused, but this movie was just plain fun. Definatly a great murder mystery, really keeps you guessing, I loved it.




Thats all Ive seen, Witchfinder Gereral[AKA Conquerer Worm] is on order from the library, and should be in before Christmas.

Gah!

I forgot The Tingler! Pretty good movie, ice to see VP as a kinda good guy for a change. And the use of colour was damn good. I only wish I would have seen it in theatres back in the day, with Castle's little shocker thingys.

I love The House on Haunted Hill. Vincent Price gives me chills no matter what movie I watch with him though.
