Book Presentation:
In 1953, Vincent Price adopted the mantle of the macabre which had been left vacant by Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff to play a deranged sculptor in House of Wax. As a result, he became the face of film fright for a generation of moviegoers. For more than twenty years afterwards, Price embodied the spirit of the Hollywood horror film in almost 60 features, from House on Haunted Hill and House of Usher in the 1950s to Witchfinder General and The Abominable Dr Phibes in the 1960s and '70s. Merchant of Menace is a celebration of this legendary actor's remarkable life and work; it covers the entirety of Vincent Price's film career with a wealth of fascinating detail and explains why, to many fans of the genre during the 1960s, Vincent Leonard Price was the horror film. This new Hemlock edition of Denis Meikle's acclaimed biography of Vincent Price has been completely revised and expanded and now contains well over 300 illustrations! 390pp, 8pp in colour, fully illustrated.
