I had watched some Price as a teen. To return to it now as an adult movies like "Dr. Fibes" or "Masque of the Red Death" are intolerable. Wow did he make some drivel.
Haha! I know! Unfortunately, just like everyone else in that industry, as he aged he had a hard time finding leading roles. I kind of felt sorry for him but at the same time, fascinated too. For me, he became the ultimate prince of schlock. One of the earlier horror films he did in 1953 is a classic & also a favorite of mine - House of Wax. In it, his assistant (mute) Igor was played by a young Charles Bronson. In 1963 he starred in another favorite of mine, Roger Corman's campy horror film The Raven. He co-starred with Peter Lorre and a featured player was a young Jack Nicholson. Nicholson's acting was awful. AWFUL. LOL!
You asked a great question Whistle. I enjoyed that trip down memory lane. Thanks.
LOL! I loved that movie. Everyone else I know thought it was garbage but I don't think they understood the intentional campy tongue-in-cheek of it. Another B movie with Jack Nicholson! See my response above regarding The Raven. LOL.
- Women's Prison Massacre. (simply the best for the razor blade sex scene) - Ben and Arthur. (gay *heaven*) - Birdemic. (CGI *heaven*) - The Room. (cause Tommy Wiseau is the undiscovered Denzel Washington.)
I'm not sure if all these fall under the B-Movie "technical definition, though.
