I love Vincent Price and stand against anyone who dislikes how hammy he was. But hey, if you feel that way, perhaps you should avoid An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe, which features Price all alone on the stage - with props and outfits that change with every story - matched with only music by Les Baxter, recorded at the same time and with the same orchestra as Cry of the Banshee.
Produced by Samuel Z. Arkoff and Kenneth Johnson (who wrote, produced and directed this; you may know him from creating The Incredible Hulk TV series, as well as The Bionic Woman and V), this is an opportunity to see Price go wild telling the stories "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Sphinx," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Pit and the Pendulum."
The really cool thing about this is that it seems like every single story was shot in one take, which speaks to Price's ability as an actor as well as his endurance, as he really goes full Vincent Price on every one of these stories.
