Have you seen the Rifftrax version of the original House on Haunted Hill? It's hilarious.



I agree about the remake by the way.


Vincent Price was the man.

My Top Ten Favorite Vincent Price Movies:

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

The best version of Richard Matheson's classic "I Am Legend." This should be as highly regarded as The Night of the Living Dead imo. They are very similar films in many ways.

The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

Price made several movies with Roger Corman that were loosely based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. This is my favorite. Unlike most of Corman's movies, this one never feels limited by its budget. The colors are lush and vibrant, Price is excellent as the black hearted Prince Prospero, and Corman does an excellent job of blending a couple of Poe's stories into one low budget masterpiece.

Theatre of Blood (1973)

One of my favorite horror comedies. Price really hams it up. He looks like he's having a ball acting out his character's Shakespearean themed revenge plot.


House of Wax (1953)


The film that turned Price into a horror icon. The first color 3-D feature from a major American studio.

The Tingler (1959)


Schlock, but damn fun. It had to have been an absolute blast to watch this in the theater with all of William Castle's gimmicks.



The Fly (1958)

Another classic. I was really creeped out by the ending as a kid. It isn't gory or anything, but there is something... terrible... about it. There are very few horror movies that are actually horrifying. This one is to me. It will probably just be corny to most of you though.


Pit and the Pendulum (1961)


Another great Corman/Price Poe movie. This one features scream queen Barbara Steele.

An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe (1970)

From the eight movies he made based on his writings it's obvious Price had a love for Poe's stories. This is the culmination of that, as Price does a one man show of four of Poe's most famous stories.


Witchfinder General (1968)

Of all the bad guys Price played, Matthew Hopkins is easily the most evil.

House on Haunted Hill came highly recommended to me - I'd not yet seen it but I plan too!! I agree on VP, I've seen many of his movies - Unfortunately I was very young and couldn't name many of them.

Please don't watch the remake of HoHH it ruins it really. HoHH is my favorite haunted movie by Vincent Price and he is my favorite horror movie actor.

My favorite director is Alfred Hitchcock and my favorite movie is The Birds.


I also have Vertico I was enthralled to the end and the ending had a suspenseful twist I was like oh wow.

And I have a two disk three movie set of some of his earlier work one Murderer is quite intriguing and also unrespecting ending. I have yet to see the other two Sabotage and Jamaican Inn I am saving to watch them on Halloween. I plan watch a lot of horror movies on Halloween all night long.

If it wasn't for playing Dying Light and Dying Light the Following about every night I'd be watching scary movies every night. I just happen to enjoy killing Zombies a lot and keep from getting killed myself. That ending was about as good of a horror flick as I've ever seen too. That bitch 'Mother' was a bitch to beat. I was like stay down bitch! Stay down bitch! Still fun playing it because it's like living in a movie.

I think you may be disappointed if you save those two for a special occasion. "Sabotage" is ok and it's fun to see how cute the old lady from Beetlejuice used to be...



... but Jamaica Inn is really bad. On paper it should be amazing: the source book by Daphne Du Maurier is a pretty good potboiler with a lot of atmosphere, Charles Laughton was at his peak, and Maureen O'Hara was beautiful, but none of it comes together. It's terrible. What makes it even more surprising is that Hichcock was able to make the somewhat similar movie "Rebecca" into a classic just a year or two later.

There is a made for tv version of "Jamaica Inn" from 1983 that is much better, imo. It stars Jane Seymour and Patrick McGoohan.



Have you watched any episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"?
Those may make some good Halloween viewing.


A few good episodes off the top of my head:


Alfred Hitchcock Presents:

Revenge
Where Beauty Lies
Specialty of the House
Man from the South
No Pain
Apex
Poison
A Man with a Problem
The Right Kind of House
None are So Blind


The Alfred Hitchcock Hour:
The Jar
An Unlocked Window






A few more non classic movies for the less discriminating:

Deathdream (1972)
The Entity (1981)
Martin (1977)
Dead & Buried (1981)
Razorback (1984)
Rituals (1977)
Society (1989)
Slither (2006)
Dead Heat (1988)
Long Weekend (1978)

Suspense:

No Place to Hide (1981)
Murder by Natural Causes (1979)

I have seen Alfred Hitchcock presents before That's why I love him so much he is very charming and sets the tone for the movie.

I doubt I'm too disappointed because I know it's his early work and he became a master.
