An Evening with Edgar Allen Poe - Starring Vincent Price

[45Machine]

Vincent Price was a True Artist in the craft of performance, I Miss Him Deeply

[danante69]

I love this version of "The Tell Tale Heart"! He plays to perfection the raving lunatic!

[Greysteelknight]

Mr Price was a Real Gentleman to meet I will never forget meeting this kind Herro of so many Great Films God rest you old friend!

[DocWyldeCard]

The all-time Master of the horror story's works being performed by the all-time Master of horror in acting:

EPICNESS beyond measure.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Vincent Price was amazing.

He was perfect for Poe.

[markfreemon]

Poe + Vincent = Pricless

[markfreemon]

Brilliant

[GanjaZombi2]

For some reason, to me; Vincent Price could never be scary and omnious like Christopher Lee - great actor though

[Deathsiren]

@GanjaZombi2 Eat my balls.

[TheSnowballEarth]

@GanjaZombi2 And Lee takes much better care of himself, e.g. doesn't smoke. A good reason why Lee is still alive and acting at almost 90 years of age.

Thank you for uploading this in its entirety!

[GreenGal984]

Due to Halloween I've spent the last several weeks watching most of Vincent Price's movies. I have to say that this film is the best of his work regarding Edgar Allen Poe. Mr. Price is allowed to shine and do EAP's stories justice.

[Altmetalpunk]

2 of my favorites put together... i am loving this

[andrewdeangelo1]

I felt i had to contribute to the praise of vincent price,he is the greatest dramatic actor i have ever watched...if you want to see him perform shakespear he played a shakespearian actor on an episode of have gun will travel which is available on youtube where he does a scene.....i hope you enjoy it....it's a good show.

[forzamicha46]

Edgar is for sure smiling now :)

[ThoughtTraveler]

I look at the CRAP that passes for movies these days....remake of remakes of remakes......pathetic.

I do not see ONE good actor anymore that captures that old school Shakespearean charm that Vincent Price exuded in every performance.

We are not evolving to a higher level but degenerating to the savage and mundane...

[shangandtweety]

@ThoughtTraveler Absolutely! All we have left are memories.

[AntiqueLightCompany]

Jesus, Price was a good actor.

[BloodySawBlade]

I went to Barnes & Noble, and I bought the The Complete Tale and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. It's a great read.

[phrenology888]

IT IS THE BEATING OF THIS HIDEOUS HEART!!!

[rawrkid9573]

Edgar allan poe is my inspiration to write poetry, I love him.

[FreeIpodsCorp]

My heart grew sick! On account of the dampness of the catacombs.

Absolute Classic!

[klevesmith]

anyone know where I can buy this video - heck would take a VHS version - LOVE IT!!!

[soulamonglions]

@grimlockfire, it's actually The Cask of Amontillado, one of my all time favorites. Working on an updated screenplay of it, set in New Orleans!

[jeaniewryly]

Someone needs to remix this video with "thriller"! That would be stupendous! 8 –)

[BloodySawBlade]

@jeaniewryly and ruin a classic by tainting it with shit music that came from a now-dead pedophile? Go elsewhere, man.

[Versgolem]

Only 16 000 views for such amazing work? I hate to sound arrogant, but people don't know talent when they see it. Truely, this is theatre and literature at its best.

[lovlye]

Is this really THE Vincent price? Even the man in the beginning of the tell-tale heart?

Because he really looks very different then what i'm used to...

[TheYognaught]

@lovlye You're an idiot.

[Night0fTheLivingNES]

Tell-tale heart is so awesome.

[dina95saur]

I love how just gives chills by just reading a story his voice is so captivating that you just want him to read stories forever and ever :D

[zenoist2]

edgar allen poe was quite briiliant.

He wrote the first detective stories(murder in rue morgue etc) years ahead of sherlock holmes stories.

Also the first horror stories.

He was a bit nutty i think though, you have to be to write stufff like he did.

[AORfactory]

Thanks for posting this! Brilliant.

[KentuckySunset]

Sending this to my daughter who writes.Often have called her my lil Poe in drag.

[WOW9521]

Scary, thrilling, a work of art!

[PissedFechtmeister]

Pure genius!

[DeathGrindRocker]

1 Person is scared to death of V. Price

[jakethesnake10000]

YEEEEEEESSSSSS

[CHAOSin8bits]

0 people missed the like but- wait- 0 people?! NOBODY NOSEN'T LIKE THIS!

yup, it's that good.

[grimlockfire]

hey does he do a casket of montello

[RcUniverseGuy]

did he memorize it or is he just that awesome?

[grimlockfire]

@RcUniverseGuy hes just that awesome!!

[andrewdeangelo1]

@RcUniverseGuy he is that awesome,he memorized it....he is the greatest dramatic actor to ever live.

[The911Shaman]

There's no audience. Not even a sneeze, a cough, a laugh. Not a peep.

[crystalship42]

I think is the best combination that will never exist. Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Price...No one can give life to the Words of Poe like Vincent Price

[vocabularyspills]

Edgar A. Poe would have been very much proud of Price's performance.

[Streety101101]

i couldnt bring myself to be the first dislike.....

[Flinty88]

100th thumbs up goes to me. perfect record so far 100-0 keep it going

[twolechesconquick]

this is golden. Poe is master and Price makes it that much better i just wanna three way with both of them

[CHAOSin8bits]

@twolechesconquick 2 rotted corpses in your bed?

[jakethesnake10000]

@CHAOSin8bits YES PLEASE! SEND THEM!

[LoveIsMyOnlyFreedom]

NOTHING can compete with this! He was and still is so AMAZING!

[FiveofHearts1]

GOD I love Vincent Price.

He makes a wonderful stage actor, I wish he had done some Shakespeare..

[FiveofHearts1]

@FiveofHearts1 Ooooh! Or maybe if he did Sweeney Todd. That would be unbelievable.

[ronssexybikerbae]

Thank you so much. I love these stories you made my day

[JollyJeff]

I remember as a kid, long before there was VCRs I tape-recorded this and listened to it over and over again. Since most of the magic of this is in his wonderful voice I was overjoyed at how well it was just to listen these two masters.

[JinxRuin]

Truly enchanting! My father had been telling me how he had seen this on t.v. when he was a little kid and so of course I really felt like I missed out on something. I'm so happy I found this, thank you, thank you soo much for uploading this!! Edgar Allen Poe and Vincent Price . . what an inspiring combination . . I feel October in my bones . .

[Godzie1]

Brilliant & distinguish man Vince was & the best icon of horror that ever lived. Thank you Vince for the best in entertainment of horror!

[marcuslaughton]

what a rare treat.

[threestoogesfan2]

Vincent Price + Edgar Allan Poe = WIN

[davidjb100]

Vincent Price was a master of horror and acting alike! I wish he was still with us.

[jakethesnake10000]

@davidjb100 no way Poe was the master of horror! actually no LOVECRAFT was

[evelsteev]

@jakethesnake1000 Yeah, it's not like Poe influenced him in any way. LOL

[jakethesnake10000]

@evelsteev poe influenced every author of horror who ever lived. does that make him better than all of them? NOPE!

[evelsteev]

@evelsteev I doubt the majority of literature buffs actually think that Lovecraft is, indeed, "superior" to Poe.

[TheScrewball1982]

@evelsteev I agree with you, I love both writers...there is this notion that Lovecraft is a sort of bridge from Poe to contemporary, which I can see I suppose, but even then, hit writing is too unusual...Regardless, both wonderful

[cha5]

@TheScrewball1982 Both writers are memorable, although Lovecraft acknowledged that Poe was an influence on him and some of Lovecraft's earliest stories resemble some of Poe's tales before he found his own voice and style. Arthur Machen was also an influence on Lovecraft especially with his emphasis on cosmic horror.

[RegressLess]

@davidjb100 He is! I just saw him. :D

[lichtbroeder]

@davidjb100 A master of horror like Price is ALWAYS "with us"....watching....waiting...

[Deathsiren]

@davidjb100 Truth.

[TheSnowballEarth]

@davidjb100 Well, he would've turned 100 years old last year (2011), and with his ill health asking him to still be around is a lot to ask for. I wish that he hadn't smoked. But whatevs, he was a great actor and a great man. He is missed.

[CzarodziejkaGore]

I love Vincent Price voice !!! Masterpiece!

[SuperDiabeetus]

thank you stumble...and thanks for the horror movie uploads, dude...you rule.

[AbbieH5]

[MikeandIke01]
