@JuanPaul: Growing up in Thames Television’s catchment area, I first heard of VIncent Price when he did a cookery show in the early 70s (around the time of ‘Theatre of Blood’) and only found out he was a film star later. He’s probably single-handedly responsible for introducing creole and cajun cuisine to Blighty.
As for the cover – doesn’t Svengoolie own the original?
This actually isn’t too bad. It’s recognizable as Price and it’s the sort of pose he’d do for publicity. Only one font though it’s a little eye-straining.
@JuanPaul: I did know that and about his art collecting. He was quite a well-rounded person.

Sure, that pit and pendulum was all a bit of fun, and now look at you!

The Price is Right …

I think this particular piece of art spends all its time stuck in a closet.

They missed a trick, not giving old Vincent a pair of goat horns.

Did you know that Vincent and his wife, Mary, were food connoisseurs?

I own a reprint of ‘Come Into the Kitchen’ which sounds very ominous coming from Mr. Price.

The world’s most boring “put your head through the hole and get your seaside postcard taken” attraction. (There must be a snappier name for those).
