You just can't wait for All Hallows Eve, can you?

Vincent Price - a great actor.

My all-time favorite movies when it comes to Halloween include the masterful Vincent Price.

I have not seen that! Will have to check it out though...sounds excellent.
Detective Mark McPherson investigates the killing of Laura, found dead on her apartment floor before the movie starts. McPherson builds a mental picture of the dead girl from the suspects whom he interviews. He is helped by the striking painting of the late lamented Laura hanging on her apartment wall. But who would have wanted to kill a girl with whom every man she met seemed to fall in love? To make matters worse, McPherson finds himself falling under her spell too. Then one night, halfway through his investigations, something seriously bizarre happens to make him re-think the whole case.
I am caught between The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Theatre of Blood.

She was not only stunning but one of the most beautiful actresses during the 40's. She suffered from a mental illness and had quite a sad life.
I particularly liked her in the following movies : Leave her to Heaven (also starring Vincent Price) and The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
She also starred in a movie with Vincent Price that was set in a castle but I can't remember the title.

I did? Oh, I guess I forgot. I must have been suffering through a nasty heatwave like the one I'm suffering through right now, and couldn't wait for Halloween to arrive - a sure sign of autumn and cooler weather.

It's a great film. My dad loved Gene Tierney, with what they called her "sexy overbite." [emoji1]

The chemistry between Mrs Muir and the captain was amazing.
