The Vincent Price Collection II Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman October 18, 2014

Vincent Price’s career spanned everything from classic noir ( Laura) to somewhat questionable biographies (he played a rather unlikely Joseph Smith in Brigham Young in a film which always delighted this non-Mormon Utah native), but Price’s lasting legacy will probably always be the horror films he started making in the 1950s with the now iconic House of Wax 3D. Scream Factory, the horror themed imprint of Shout! Factory, gave Price fans a great Halloween present last year when they released The Vincent Price Collection, which included a gaggle of Price’s American International Pictures releases, often made in collaboration with Roger Corman. Scream is back now with a second volume just in time for this year’s Halloween festivities, casting a somewhat wider net that features some of Price’s horror themed outings for other production entities (as well as some AIP features). Once again generally strong technical merits and some fun supplements make this an enjoyable “treat” for horror fans.

The Vincent Price Collection II Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This second set of Price outings may be even more enjoyable than the first set, despite the fact that at least some of these films aren't in the top tier of either Price's or Corman's output. With generally fine technical merits and some very appealing supplementary material, The Vincent Price Collection II comes Highly recommended.
