1974 Horror Hall of Fame - hosted by Vincent Price

- In 1974 Vincent Price hosted the Horror Hall of Fame, a light hearted and fun-filled look at horror movies through the years. Price's assistant was a hunchback named Zuckman, played by none other than Billy Van, the host of the Hilarious House of Frightenstein, a Canadian horror host program in which Price also appeared. Special guests for the night were John Carradine, Frank Gorshin, John Astin, makeup artist William Tuttle and actress Candy Clark, and Raymond McNally (author). There are tributes to famous films (and Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine), but the best parts are the sit down interviews between Price and the special guests. This is a wonderful piece of TV history that I'm truly glad survived. Price appears to be having a blast.

I love how Vincent Price always sounded like he was having the time of his life!
He really does!
cuz he was.
I like how Vincent Price is respectful to the people he interviews, even in this fun, silly show. He appears to be listening carefully.
Vincent Price is the man
Indeed!
Vincent Price was one of our great Actors & a real Gentleman A Great Chef & Art Collector etc May he RIP & is Sadly missed by all of his Fans etc.
A fine actor and a fantastic show.
They need to bring this Halloween tv event back and have DC icon TheBatMan host this Hollween tn event Halloween 2021.
Coziest special ever
No doubt!
Vincent Price had a classy distinctive voice a voice that can be used in different movies and shows RIP Mr Price
You can tell Vincent is having too much fun with this, as were everyone here
Totally!
Vincent Price on the radio was also awesome , The Saint is worth buying the entire set
I recently downloaded The Saint volume 1 and 2, however every episode I purchased didn't allow access from ITunes. I love listening to it, his Char is such fun. You can see the story play out in your head so vividly..
Price's laughter at Gorshin's "Antipasto" joke seems completely legitimate. Wouldn't be surprised if Gorshin threw that one at him unrehearsed. Great moment. :P
Vincent was kind and wonderful soul RIP
Vincent Price is the all time greatest- I am so glad I got to watch this
He was such a delightful man and by far the funniest of 'em all. Sent me an inscribed photo and note when I was ten. I can't tell you how thrilled I was (and still am)!
Nice! That's extremely cool
Vincent calling him "Chris Lee" at 45:31 is so beautiful and wholesome! The two shared a birthday together (May 27) and became close friends 🥺
Vincent Price will forever be a national treasure. Thank you for uploading this Doc!
I'm very glad people are enjoying this...This appears to be my rip I did years ago from a VHS tape someone sent to me, and I got recorded onto DVD. I believe I posted this on a couple of horror sites. I recognize the particular imperfections and such in this recording, which is how I knew it was the one I shared years ago. I'm pretty sure I saw this the night it originally aired on late-night network television.
Will see what I can do about trying to clean it up a bit, and get it into HD resolution...but I doubt much can be done with this recording. Would be much better if someone found the original video master or even a secondary broadcast tape.
There's also a similar one done years later hosted by Anthony Perkins called The Horror Show. Will have to see about getting that up also.
I really wish there was a proper dvd release, its a real treasure. But I'm just glad it exists. I'm not monetizing it, btw, it's monetized by the copyright holders (MGM and Warner Brothers). I just put it up here for folks to enjoy. If you have a cleaner copy you should definitely post it!
I'm going to try and work with the recording I already have on DVD. Otherwise, I can try digging out the VHS tape I have and making a newer, possibly slightly higher quality recording to work from. Depending how this turns out I'll let you know.
Well, I tried on both specials using Handbrake, and it really didn't help a whole lot. I can still upload what I did here, but there really wasn't a great improvement. If a recording is bad enough, there isn't a whole lot that can be done with it to improve it.
I loved the horror show . saw on tv when I was a kid . I'm 48 !
Watching the Bill Hader SNL skits makes me appreciate this more.
Frank Gorshin was one of the best/funniest impressionists I've ever seen. I wish they had more of that kind of his work preserved. He just eclipsed Rich Little - who was no slouch! And, of course, Price was...priceless!
All the greats of that era were so talented!
wow great to see the actors who played Egghead and both versions of the Riddler on the 60s Batman show together again in one TV special Gorshin and Astin played the Riddle and of course Price played Egghead.
Very true, it was indeed a bat-reunion.

My first encounter with this fun movie tonight! Thank God for VHS. Would love to see this cleaned up and HD'd.
Me too, this is a real gem. Glad someone recorded it so we can at least see it, but an HD version would be fantastic!
@@drgangrene I would prefer a black and white version , this colour technology ruin the picture quality
@@MzuMzu-nx1em It originally aired in color, this is a copy from that broadcast, just not a great copy unfortunately.
Being the host segments were on video, an HD version would have to be simply upscaled...you can't copy old format video into HD like you can with film.
@@kriegerg69 Absolutely right. That's why taped TV shows like "All in the Family" will never look any better than the DVD transfer, and why "Gone with the Wind" looks beautiful in HD because it was originally on film.
Getting early start on Halloween celebration. So appreciate seeing and hearing these classy, eloquent, well spoken stars of horror from the Saturday matinees and late night movies of my childhood. Truly enjoyed hearing the admiration and knowledge of Mr. Price and the others of these iconic films. Thank you for posting.
Such a great actor! He could take any role and turn it into gold! I love his narration in the Alice Cooper song Devil’s Food!👍👍👍 R.I.P. Mr. Price
Thanks for featuring this in my recommended, I do indeed enjoy my regular horror. One of the incredible aspects to Vincent's career was his ability to play both the good or bad guy. Most people only talk about his sinister roles, of which he had an untouchable talent, but he also played the victim, with equal ease & ease. RIP Mr Price, your legend will live on, thank you for your work.
Vincent price is my favorite acter of all time
He was a one of a kind!
Vincent Price is the perfect "Versatile Villain".
He could be anything he wanted, even funny!
@@corishehorn1331 agreed
For Music there was Elvis, for horror movie's there was Mr. Vincent Price. Thanks to the creator of RUclips you have you personal favorite one's at the tip of your fingers. Thank you You Tube, no one really watches television any longer we are all on RUclips.
Agreed, Vincent was the best!
Haven't seen this since the 1970's. Thank you.
+James Grassia They don't make TV like this anymore, unfortunately!
The kind of friend , you will never have 😊😊 , the power to make you fell better , cozy ,
This is really good stuff they should put this on DVD and clean it up thanks for posting it
Simply wonderful. thank you for posting this. I can't help but notice how similar Vincent's dress here is to his garb in Theatre Of Blood.
It was shot around the same time, so probably not by accident.
Lionheart lives!
Vincent is always fun and thanks for this!!!
Thanks for watching!
I am enjoying this. I checked Price’s IMDB listing, and I don’t see this listed. Anyway, this man had a legendary career, thanks for posting this Doc.
I was born in 1972 and I can recall so many things had Mr Vincent price involved.
Vincent Price referring to himself as “Lady Killer”! My god he was such a ham 😂
Indeed he was! A loveable one!
Thank you !
I saw this on television when I was a kid. Thanks for posting this.💀
You know nothing will be Halloween without Horror because Horror Hall of Fame I believe watching it came back from the past grave
Vincent Price, Legend.
Great!! Thank god for , u tube love the old stuff . Especially Vincent Price he's a mentor and freind.
This kind of content is a real gem, I'm glad it was preserved, there's nothing like it anymore.
I am surprised that neither Frank Gorshin nor Vincent Price mentioned their shared Batman TV Series experiences !! Also surprising is no mention of John Astin's portrayal of the Riddler on the 1966 Batman show .
That is true! Maybe they all compared notes offscreen. I'd like to think so!
...but at least Price and Carradine shared their experiences of each making an Invisible Man movie. :)
Wow this via great. What a nice find
It's always been said that the horror stars like Boris and Lee and price are among the nicest people around.
igor is played by billy van in this show and in case you forgot vincent and billy worked together on the show frightenstein but they were never on camera at the same time!!
Very true!
This is great!!!!
Thank you for sharing this! Finding a special about classic horror movies is always a treat, but when it stars Vincent Price, Frank Gorshin, John Carradine, and John Astin it's especially great for us monster-kids!
Indeed!
I adore this man, as you know. Thanks so much!!!!
Yes indeed! This show was so much fun! Love that they mention Famous Monsters of Filmland too.
I loved that magazine when I was a kid. Internet Archive has a lot of them to read and download. Oh such fun.
Vincent Price is the goat!
I would love Vincent Price to narrate my life.
I still love your show.i haven't got to catch it.i hope and wish we can do a video.
Horrid humor, but interesting discussions.
This is a good one
So many wonderful memories of such wonderful people
I have watched this more times than I can count. I had this on VHS. Shame they didn't do more of these back then, since everything had these kinds of shows.
I agree, it's just so much fun.
If Sunny and Cher can have 18 special in the 70's, then these guys could too. Even the revamps in the early 90's wasn't as good as this one.
"Revamps"? Not quite...but there were some other similar specials into the 90's, like one in the early 90's which John Astin hosted called The Halloween Monster Bash. I just found out my old rip of that one is already here on RUclips. ruclips.net/video/jOTRtmZRx_M/видео.html
The merchandizing from 32:00 onwards makes me wonder what the brilliant mind and talents of Mel Blanc would have done with animated versions of characters from this genre...
That would have been something!
Bless his soul in heaven. Rip Mr price
Thank you so much for this. I'm 60 years old so I am one of those original monster kids lol.
Awesome! They don't make em like this anymore!
I sooo love the classics and the horror movie hosts them. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
I watched this Hollween tv event.
Interesting.
Named my first born son after Vincent Price !
Well done!
Here! Here! Well done! Cheers!🧟♂️🍷
John Carradine DID play monsters...Dracula 1945's "House of Dracula" Invisible Alien in "Invisible Invaders" 1950's...
So awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Forgot how much I loved John Austin
Astin
Being Romanian (Transylvanian), I found the reference to Vlad Țepeș (especially the way they pronounced it) most amusing.
Glad to see they did some research. Not everything they say is accurate, though...
The voice... the cardiac arrest ...
❤️
This is classy stuff
miss our gentleman so much why everything has to be transient
This is hilarious!!
Gorshin looked like Rutger Hauer.
Once I saw these familiar sets, Vincent Price, Billy Van, and heard the bad jokes I figured this had to be from the makers of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
Could be, that had never occurred to me. I love thesesets though, would love to have those for my own use.
Dr. Murray Frankenstein!
He must have worn out that laughing track by his third episode.
❤❤❤❤
GORSHIN AND PRICE!!!! WOW ALL I CAN SAY!!!
GREAT pair!
Master of macabre in deed
Without question!
🌟🖤🖤🖤🌟
I wonder if Bill Hader watched this.
Could have!
I watched this when it first aired, and felt then as I do now; entertaining, but would have been better if played straight.
Maybe if Cheyenne Jackson as Hades hosts Descendants: Horror Of Fame, that might be good
What network did this air
ABC
29:07
You didn't say two or one.
Oh, you don't say two or one.
Why not?
Because your voice will be heard when you go on the air!
King of horror
he real Dr Strange
Bill Hader is a genius
I'm guessing John Carradine didn't think of Dracula as a monster?
Could be!
A laugh track?
Dr jeek-le? Have we all been pronouncing it incorrectly, all these years?
Right? LOL
It is "jee-kyl".
GET ZUCCED ZUCCMAN
A bit hammy or something. Cheese and camp?
This isn't worth for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach.
I think it's pretty awesome.
❤️
