*beckoning* See my vision. Two have anxiety and drink to forget, two pray hard and pay taxes.

Roderick and Saul get an honorable mention but I don't think they'd get along at ALL.

The Price May Be Right - Number 26

Welcome to “The Price May Be Right!” I’m counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances & Appearances! The countdown will cover movies, TV productions, and many more forms of media. Today’s pick features Vincent as one of a whole cavalcade of creeps! Today we focus on Number 26: Lionel Grisbane, from House of the Long Shadows.

I talked about this film last year, when I discussed my Top 31 Christopher Lee Performances. “House of the Long Shadows” is a horror-comedy cult classic, and one of the few good movies (in my opinion) produced by the schlock masters of Cannon and Golan-Globus. The film is a typical murder mystery movie, set inside an equally typical creepy old Victorian mansion. However, the movie manages to become something special largely due to the actors involved, as the movie features four of the greatest horror icons who ever lived: obviously, this includes Vincent Price and Christopher Lee, but also their mutual friend, Peter Cushing, and the great John Carradine. For those who are new or do not recall: the film focuses on a young writer, Kenneth Magee. After receiving a special author’s challenge, he decides to spend the night in a seemingly abandoned old manor house to try and whip up some inspiration. However, things begin to go askew when the Grisbane Family – the owners of the mansion – return for a bizarre reunion, along with the mansion’s future owner, a businessman known as Mr. Corrigan. Price plays one of the Grisbane brothers, Lionel: a drama queen of the highest order, Lionel is given to grandiloquent speeches and seems to say and do nearly everything in a florid, theatrical manner. He is arguably the most prominent of the Grisbanes, as it is Lionel who delivers much of the exposition around why the family has come home…and what the dark secret they all share pertains. Once again, this is essentially a self-parody role for Price, and once again, those are always fun to see. What really makes this particular instance of such a part special, however, is simply the presence of so many great stars of the genre onscreen together, and the chemistry they share. The fact that three out of four of them were best friends in real life is a big part of what makes their interactions so memorable, and the differing personalities of their characters rebound off one another in a way that’s truly wonderful. The plot has many twists and turns, and Lionel is an active participant in several of them, either by helping to relate seeming facts to us, or being involved when the ACTUAL truths are unveiled. There’s really not much more to say; if you’re a fan of these performers, you owe it to yourself to give this picture a look. Tomorrow, the countdown continues with my pick for Number 25!
