Watch Rogues' Regiment (1948) starring Dick Powell and Vincent Price

Even when decked out in a Foreign Legion uniform, Dick Powell looked, talked and acted like an urban private eye. In 1948's Rogues' Regiment, American secret agent Whit Corbett (Dick Powell) joins the Legion in order to track down Nazi war criminal Carl Reicher (Stephen McNally) in French Indo-China.

Hampering his search is a native uprising which consumes most of the film's running time. Vincent Price contributes an amusingly despicable supporting role as Mark Van Ratten, an erudite art collector who sidelines in gunrunning.

Watch the entire film now which I have uploaded on my MrPrice07 Youtube channel.

Sick and tired of the endless festive themed film fare already? Want something a bit grittier than It’s a Wonderful Life, but just as dark? Then why not check out BBC2′s Film Noir season, a collection of classic drama from master director Fritz Lang, including Vincent Price in While the City Sleeps (Thursday 22 December, 12.40am, BBC2) starting today and concluding on Christmas Day. Here’s a sneak peek.

The legacy of Vincent Price | The Vincent Price Art Gallery in East Los Angeles

The revamped Vincent Price Art Museum on the campus of East Los Angeles College looks amazing.

Originally opened back in 1957 by Vincent and his wife Mary, the collection includes artworks from Africa, New Guinea, ancient Egypt, Greece, Mexico, North America, South America, and works by important artist from the Renaissance to the present day, with some 2000 items from the Price's personal collection

The new art museum (which opened in May of this year) is the centerpiece of the college’s US$89m Performing and Fine Arts Center that includes workshops, seven gallery spaces and a 120-seat lecture hall for art history classes.

The museum is open to the public four days a week, Tuesday and Wednesday from 12noon to 4pm and Thursday and Friday from 12noon to 7pm.

Bloodbath at the House of Death on The Horror Channel tonight!

Ten years after a gruesome murder takes place at Headstone Manor, a scientific team investigates strange reports of radioactive readings at the grim location. Unknown to the scientists, the Sinister Man (Vincent Price) is conducting a secret ceremony, known as the Night of Blood, in a bid to resurrect The Master. What follows is truly awful.

Don't get me wrong, I love the late Kenny Everett's style humour, but try as I might, I just don't like Bloodbath at the House of Death. It's seems such a waste as it boasts some great talent, including Don Warrington, Gareth Hunt, the divine Cleo Rocos, and Pamela Stephenson (it was probably this film that made her give up acting and become a therapist).

And, as for Vincent swearing, well I still shudder ever time he does.

Showing on The Horror Channel (Sky 319, Virgin 149)

Guess who features in Famous Monsters' Vincentennial report?

Got the shock of my life today! Famous Monsters (a magazine I loved as a kid and even got a photo published in Issue 151) have featured yours truly in its Vincentennial report, The Presence of Price, on its website.

Click here to read what I had to say about the celebrations in Vincent's hometown of St Louis back in May, plus there's some great comments from the likes of former Fly's David Hedison and Brett Halsey, and Video Watchdog's Tim Lucas.

This has really made my day.
