Film Synopsis
Vincent Price: The Sinister Image (1987) centers on an extended on-camera conversation between actor Vincent Price and film historian David Del Valle conducted near the end of Price’s career. As the program moves through discussions of Price’s horror roles, artistic interests, and experiences in film and television while incorporating archival television material and radio performances, it builds a broader portrait of the actor’s public image and personal warmth beyond his sinister screen persona. This documentary tribute examines the legacy of a major horror icon through retrospective conversation and archival material, as memories and media history converge, with genre cinema, celebrity identity, and career reflection.
