You'll have to show me! :-) All kidding aside, Price was always fun to watch whether he was in urbane thrillers like LAURA or one of his marvelously diabolical thrillers, like Team B's beloved DR. PHIBES movies, or THEATER OF BLOOD. When I was working with our friend, author David Hajdu, one of my duties was to briefly interview stars for VIDEO REVIEW, and I was lucky enough to interview Vincent Price. I have a feeling I might have unwittingly called the great man at a bad time, as it sounded like there was a lot of hubbub in the background. Nevertheless, he was nice enough to give me interviews about LAURA and other films of his -- even a few words about the animated TV series THE 13 GHOSTS OF SCOOBY-DOO, in which he was the voice of Vincent Van Ghoul! What a guy! :-) DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-23838825566911698232012-09-16T11:31:14.797-04:002012-09-16T11:31:14.797-04:00Pat: The visuals didn't bother your daughter b...Pat: The visuals didn't bother your daughter but the voice did.
