How many names in the All-Time Horror Hall of Fame rank higher than that of Vincent Price? Not too damn many. In the world of horror Vincent Price is Babe Ruth, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison … a master and an innovator. He took an entire genre and elevated it with his performances. To celebrate the fact that Price would have turned 100 this year, the Portage Theater in Chicago, Illinois, has a special evening planned.
On Sunday, October 30th, Victoria Price, Vincent’s daughter and an accomplished author (Vincent Price: A Daughter’s Biography), will be on hand to help host a fantastic double-feature of her father’s films. It is the ultimate Halloween event!
The details for the Vincentennial are below. The films to be screened are The House on Haunted Hill (1959) and The Last Man on Earth (1964).
