The Films of Vincent Price

 I recently revisited my Vincent Price series The Fantastic Films of Vincent Price, where I made a YouTube video spotlighting every Vincent Price feature film throughout the years. I compiled them into compilation videos from each decade, starting with the 1940s and going through his last few appearances in the 1990s - a total of six and a half hours of footage! This was a lot of fun to put together, and I hope you'll enjoy the series and celebrate the work and life of the merchant of menace, Vincent Price!
