Behold! The poetic grandeur of not one but two classic Vincent Price performances, his singular visage projected in all its emotive glory on our big screen!  

The master of villainy and heroically huge theatricality, Price’s imposing frame has long loomed large amongst the pantheon of horror icons. His turn towards the genre began in the 1950s with the likes of William Castle’s camp classic, House on Haunted Hill, now one of Price’s best-known pictures. He soon found steady employment with director Roger Corman in a string of low-budget and high-style Gothic horror flicks adapted (loosely) from Edgar Allan Poe’s tales of the macabre. This collaboration ended in 1964 with two films, including the psychedelically tinged fantasia of depravity, The Masque of the Red Death.  

Experience the joy of vintage terror, filtered through the sonorous voice and unmatched enunciation of a master thespian, with nearly three hours of horror at the Senate. It's a spooky season miracle!
