Reviews

[Katharine Holden · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting and enjoyable read. Lots of detail and photos. (Sorely needed a proofreader, though. Astounding number of obvious misspellings.)

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vincent Price is one of the greatest horror actors ever. His Tales of Terror and Poe adaptions are as frightening today as they were in the past. But how came this master of arts to horror and his roles? In this well researched autobiography with 3 excellent black and white photo sections you'll be informed on all the stages of his life: from his early years to first roles and job to his feature films. Besides you'll find inside a complete filmography, him on broadway, his radio and TV appearances and publications in print. Extremely good overview over this legend. Highly recommended!
