Hello, Brand! I'm glad they're finally making a movie about Edgar Allan Poe, but I'm rather alarmed to learn that Sylvester Stallone is directing it. Is Robert Downey Jr. actually going to play Poe, or is that just a rumor?

WarpedRecord, Hello again. I believe you are right about Stallone directing the Poe movie, which is due for release in 2009, but am not sure about the actor for the leading part. Somewhat to my surprise my local library obtained the biography of VINCENT PRICE in two days and I have just started to read it (hardback, 498 pages, published in 1999). Next week I go to the French Riviera for the Christmas break but when I have finished reading it I'll drop you a line with my impressions. I see by the way that he was a student at Yale - very interesting. Have a good Christmas.

Hello, Brand! I'm amazed you were able to get the biography through your local library so quickly. I haven't had time to look for it because I've been dealing with family and work issues, but I have a lot of good used bookstores near me so I should be able to find it.
I know Vince was a very educated man and, from what I hear, also religious. I think a lot of people would be surprised to learn that his off-screen persona was nothing like the characters he portrayed in film.
Have a great Christmas and New Year's, enjoy the French Riviera, and let me know what you think of his daughter's book! -

And isn't it funny? House on Haunted Hill, and The Tingler, both directed by William Castle and star Vincent Price, this movie was directed by Wilbur Crane, but somebody who reviewed it once commented that it's not a Castle movie but it's good enough that you could guess it as one.

This movie was more creepy for me than scary. When I first watched it, about 8 or 9 years ago, I wasn't horrified while watching it.
But movies like this have a funny way of creeping up on you. Afterwards, I noticed I was a little paranoid thinking about The Bat
