FROM A WHISPER TO A SCREAM is one of the most disgusting, horrifying, and just plain nasty movies I have ever seen. It touches on subjects such as incest, necrophelia, and also has some strange stories that include voodoo, a traveling carnival, and a bunch of depraved and creepy kids (a la Children of the Corn). If you like horror movies, though, and think you can stomach this, I say give it a try.
It was a nice suprise to see one of my all time favorites, Vincent Price, presenting the four-part anthology. His atmospheric voice and often creepy face are perfect for a movie like this.
The stories revolve around the fact that Price's niece is presently being executed for murder. Price is explaining to a reporter how it is not her fault she is like that, but...

William Castle's gimmick-laden comic thriller is not so much a horror movie as a fairground funhouse come to life. Vincent Price stars as a deliciously silky millionaire married to a greedy gold digger (Carol Ohmart) who refuses to divorce him. When he turns his wife's idea for a haunted-house party into a contest--$10,000 to whoever will spend the night in "the only truly haunted house in the world"--it seems he may have found an alternative to divorce. Five strangers gather to test their stamina, Price hands each of them delightfully twisted party favors (loaded handguns, delivered in their own tiny coffins), and the spook show begins. Blood drips from the ceiling, zombielike apparitions float through rooms, severed heads and skeletons suddenly appear, and then a guest is found hanging...

I have not seen Madhouse, so this review is a reprint of one I wrote on the previously available single film DVD version.
In an interview with NPR's Terry Gross, the daughter of the late great Vincent Price was asked which of her father's films was his favourite. She said he loved Theatre of Blood because he got to do Shakespeare (albeit with a bit of poetic license).
1973's Theatre Of Blood followed the two Dr. Phibes films which were marvelously devilish black comedies. In Theatre Of Blood, Price tops his Phibes performances. Price plays Edward Lionheart, a Shakespearan actor loved by his fans but mercilessly reviled by a group of snobby theatre critics who berate his performances in print and later humiliate him at an awards ceremony. Lionheart sets out to get... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Vincent Price DVD Release Date: Released the 15 February 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

"Nine killed her..." - his wife - "...and nine shall DIE!..." - his promise of revenge - "...nine eternities IN DOOM!!" - which is the basic premise of the Dr. Phibes movies. Mess with Anton Phibes, and you might as well pick out your casket now. That is, if he leaves anything left to bury...
The incomparable fear-film figurehead Vincent Price essays Dr. Phibes as a well-read and devious fiend; a disfigured, high-class mastermind. Phibes is quite the Renaissance man, with interests ranging from music to science to theology, and Vincent Price is convincing as any and all of these. He's also convincing as a twisted soul bent on revenge, which is key to the Phibes movies.
In "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", he seeks retribution on nine doctors that he blames for the botched... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Vincent Price DVD Release Date: Released the 15 February 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
