During the past few years, to help improve your Halloween viewing experience, I posted lists of what I considered to be the top thirteen films of Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney, Jr. This year I decided to extend the same courtesy to Vincent Price, who co-starred with Karloff in TOWER OF LONDON (1939), THE RAVEN (1963), and THE COMEDY OF TERRORS (1963), Lugosi in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948) (though only briefly as the ethereal voice of the Invisible Man), and Lon Chaney, Jr. in THE HAUNTED PALACE (1963), the first official film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's fiction. Aside from these important films of the fantastique, Vincent Price also starred in a baker's dozen of quasi-surreal, phantasmagoric films over the course of four decades (from the 1940s to the 1970s), all of which will no doubt help enliven your All Hallows' Eve....
