The Vincent Price London Legacy Tour | Thanks for making it so special

Thanks to everyone for making the first-ever Vincent Price London Legacy Tour such a success and thanks to Victoria Price for being such a trouper joining us in the celebrations which included her fantastic presentation at Barts Pathology Museum, breakfast at Harrods to celebrate the UK launch of the 50th anniversary of her parent's Treasury of Great Recipes, and an all-day trip to Lavenham in Suffolk where we visited the town square and Guildhall where Witchfinder General was filmed, as well Kentwell Hall for an informative tour of the magnificent Tudor mansion (off season) which was led by the Hall's owner Mr Philips.

Lots of people have been asking if we could do this tour again and the answer is 'Yes!' I plan to organise another event next year, which will include one night in Burys St Edmunds (where the cast and crew of Witchfinder originall stayed) and a visit to Orford Castle, plus all the other locations used in the film. If you are interested then register your interest by emailing peter@thesoundofvincentprice.com

Now here's some pics from our last couple of events.

We Belong Dead, the UK fanzine dedicated to classic horror, is back from the dead

 WE BELONG DEAD, the UK magazine devoted to the classic age of horror and fantasy films, is being resurrected after 16 years.

Available from Thursday (28 March), issue nine is packed with articles that will have classic horror fans shivering with delight as they bring back fond memories of films like Twins of Evil, Witchfinder General, Night of the Demon, Tombs of the Blind Dead and Salem’s Lot. 

There also exclusive interviews with horror icons Barbara Shelley and the late Jean Rollin, an in-depth look at Peter Cushing’s Amicus roles and an hilarious alternative look at Hammer’s Dracula films. Plus, for aging Monster Kids (like me), there’s a wonderful nostalgic feature on the Aurora monster model kits of the 1960s.

The best thing about this horror fanzine is that is written by fans for fans, so it cuts to the chase with some very original and entertaining articles. I’ve just started on my copy and I can’t put it down (except to write this blurb, of course). I’ll be posting a full review soon.

To order a copy, contact Eric McNaughton at: wbdmagazine@yahoo.co.uk
