Welcome to the all-new Vincent Price Legacy UK website

portraitWelcome to the Vincent Price Legacy UK website, which has been set up by Peter Fuller, a leading expert in the life and career of the iconic actor, in response to the success of the first-ever festival dedicated to the actor to be held in the UK in November 2015.

This site celebrates Vincent the Anglophile – in both his life and films. Having first visited the UK in 1928 at aged just 17, as part of a European art vacation, Vincent fell in love with London and returned in the mid-1930s to undertake an arts degree at the famed Courtauld Institute. It was a fortuitous stay, as it was while studying in London that Vincent took up acting in a couple of productions at the Gate Theatre, one of which, Victoria Regina, would propel him onto Broadway and beyond. In the mid-1960s, the Hollywood star and the newly-crowned Master of Menace returned to the UK to work on a series of horror and fantasy films for American International Pictures. And this he would continue to do over the next two decades.

Set up as a community forum, where fans can share their stories, art and reviews of Vincent’s UK-made films, this site is hoped to become a companion to the official site run by Vincent’s daughter, Victoria Price, who works tirelessly to promote her father’s legacy in both the US and in Europe.

If you would like to contribute to the site in anyway, please do let us know. Just click on the contact button at the top of this page.
