Program Description

Event Details

For the month of October, we will be showing movies starring Vincent Price.  Vincent got his start in the late 1930s, starring and supporting in a range of dramas, noirs, and comedies.  It wasn't until the 50s that he established himself as a horror icon and he remained so for the rest of his life.  These are 5 favorites from his work in the horror genre.

On this night, we are watching Vincent in Andre De Toth's 1953 film "House of Wax" also starring Charles Bronson, Phyllis Kirk, and Carolyn Jones.  It is rated PG.

An associate burns down a wax museum with the owner inside, but he survives only to become vengeful and murderous.
