#vincentprice — Public Fediverse posts

THIS SUNDAY at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy monster movie with a bunch of nerds!

This week, our monthlong Vincent Price-fest continues with THE BAT (1959), a murder mystery involving money, madmen in costumes, and you guessed it, BATS. Also stars Agnes Moorehead, so it should be pretty good :D

The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/351000/the-bat

Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/The_Bat.mpeg

Since it's public domain, even Wikipedia has a copy you can watch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat_(1959_film)

See you this Sunday!

Some of Castle's flying skeleton (aka "Emergo") gimmick equipment still exists. It has been resurrected for use during special showings of the film.

That's a real human skeleton rising from the vat of acid. Turns out that it was faster and cheaper to buy one from a biological supply house than having one created by the special effects department.

Producer William Castle became famous for gimmicks to pull in young audiences and frighten them. For "House", he rigged a skeleton in theaters that would appear and float over the audience near the end of the film.

⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱

House on Haunted Hill was a huge box office success and Alfred Hitchcock noticed. It inspired him to make his own low-budget horror film, Psycho (1960).

William Castle, in turn, imitated Hitchcock's work in his later films, for example Homicidal (1961).

Producer William Castle saw the play Dracula, starring *Bela Lugosi*, when he was 13. He loved it and watched performance after performance. He even met Lugosi.

Castle, in his autobiography: "I knew then what I wanted to do with my life—I wanted to scare the pants off audiences."

There is a special focus on Julie Mitchum's (as Ruth Bridgers) personal large Bahá'i ring. The Director thought it was cool. Julie is Robert's sister.

👂Listen for Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) saying, "It's close to midnight, Lance."
Recall the first verse of Michael Jackson's "Thriller":
"It's close to midnight."

Coincidence?

2/2
Producer Castle encouraged theaters to play up the fact that the movie was so frightening even the ads couldn't be shown. This added to the films huge box-office.

The movie posters, with a woman hanging from a noose and an image of Vincent Price holding a woman's decapitated head by the hair, were very gruesome compared to previous movie advertising. Some newspapers refused to publish them.

Acid is not your best bet for a Doom Spa. Go with lye - and heat it.

Most of the film was shot on sound stages. Vincent Price supplied several art pieces from his collections for set decoration in the film.

For years after this movie, owners of the Ennis house suffered young people at night climbing up the building and screaming.

The historic Ennis House in Los Feliz, California, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924 was used for exterior shots.

You've seen the same building in:
Blade Runner (1982)
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Twin Peaks (1990–1991)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
Rush Hour (1998)
House of Frankenstein (1944)
The Terminal Man (1974)

How about that opening?
Imagine you are a teen in a dark theater back in 1959 listening to those noises on a high-volume theatrical sound system. Pretty scary.

It was so powerful that it started the idea of novelty "haunting records" of spooky sounds, sound effects, and music that we use for Halloween, Halloween parties, and haunted house attractions.

Oh hey, in honor of Spooky Season and this #Monsterdon month of Vincent Price, I offer you one of my very favorite stupid paranormal documentaries:

THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE (1971), narrated by Vincent Price. It's goofy, it's hokey, and Vince is putting on his very best Deep Goth voice :D

It's the #ReMonsterdon watch party's first spooky month of October!

The #ReMonsterdon collection on NeoDB

#Monsterdon & #MonsterdonDoubleFeature are doing all #VincentPrice films, but:

• #ReMonsterdon sticks to the #Monsterdon back catalog for its choices
• there is not yet enough Vincent Price in the #Monsterdon back catalog to have a month of him in #ReMonsterdon

Instead we'll have a combination of alternative ideas raised in the threads below.

• Original thread
• "Opposite of Vincent Price" thread

So here's the #Remonsterdon program for the month of October 2026 (start time for all: 7pm GMT, 9pm C. Europe, 3pm US ET)

(The first film already in the #ReMonsterdon collection, I'll add the rest as I get links.)

4 October 2026

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)

• Trailer
• Because: Nothing do with Vincent, just because the 1st Sunday of every month is Godzilla Sunday! (If only Vincent had done a Godzilla film...)

11 October 2026

The Gorgon (1964)

• Trailer
• Because: If not Vincent Price, then let's have a film with the remaining two members of the 1950-1980 triumvirate of horror: Peter Cushing AND Christopher Lee!

18 October 2026

Cat-Women of the Moon (1953)

• Trailer
• Because: contrast-programming: the opposite of Vincent Price (one lovely, cultured man from Earth) is multiple ferocious women from spaaaaace!

25 October 2026

Blacula (1972)

• Trailer
• Because: contrast-programming: has "perennial fall guy" Elisha Cook Jr, nominated as another "opposite" of Vincent Price.
