Cullen pointed out that Vincent Price played an actual vampire--and thus the only 'real' monster he ever played, although Phibes seemed bordering on the undead--in Monster Club, a late, 1980 Amicus anthology horror film.

Dorothy Cobb pointed out, after my assertion that Price never played an actual monster save for Phibes, his Phantom of the Opera-ish role in House of Wax. She's right, of course.

Warning: Movie may not completely cash the check written by the poster. Glad I got this one in before it fell off Prime. For last Friday's Watch Party we watched Konga, with the wonderful Michael Gough totally selling it. It was the perfect kind of flick for a watch party and it would be…
