He’s not here as a ghoul, a tortured wax sculpturer, or the last man on Earth. This is just Vincent Price. The legendary actor whose career spanned from 1938 until the early 1990s. Super7 is honoring the Master of Mayhem with his own 3.75″ ReAction figure. Sadly, the estimated shipping time is not until November. So, the $20 Price won’t be joining your Halloween decorations, but regardless, Price was so much more than just a staple of creature features and fright flicks.
Interestingly, Super7 lists this as the “Ascot” version of Price, which leads me to believe we may see more variations in the future. For example, maybe Super7 can team up with Disney, and we’ll get a Muppet Show version with vampire Kermit? Or an Edward Scissorhands appearance?
What, I feel, people didn’t know about Price was his love of food and art. Aside from being a horror genre icon, the man was a very kind and eloquent soul. If you’ve ever perused his cookbook, A Treasury of Great Recipes, you’ll see that the well-traveled Vicent and Mary Price look at food and its preparation as an art form of its own. I was lucky enough to find an original copy from 1965. It’s full of not only recipes but stories and anecdotes from the Prices’ travels worldwide.
To be fair, the dishes are often not very appetizing to the modern palate, but a select few are quite amazing. Over the years, I’ve made the apricot mousse many times for my house guests. While it is heavy on sugar, today, we luckily have adequate substitutes that found our varying dietary needs. Another favorite was the mustard-glazed cornish game hen. Vegetables are as rare as ghosts in this tome. So, you’re dealing with many sauces and simmering meats in pans. For those used to today’s cuisines, you’ll need to add your own side dishes to fill out the other necessary vitamins.
