Eva Gabor would, dahlink, so let's pick this flick for tonight...
Yes, it's a lesser light cash-in on House of Wax - but the second horror flick on Vincent Price's resume' certainly gives it the old college try - and it's also in 3-D - just like HoW!
This time out Vinnie P is a hard working magician whose new illusion gets taken away by his wicked employer. That just won't do - so - murder! From there the story does get weird as Vincent starts impersonating the dead guy using a rubber mask (really fantastic makeup from Gordon Bau and Gustav Norin - with Price actually playing the masked character - not the other actor pretending to be Price wearing the mask).
Of course, murder here is like Lay's potato chips - you can't do just one. More masks, more magic tricks, and more murders ensue, It's fun because it's Vincent Price - and while my DVD is only 2-D, we could still be watching stuff get poked at the camera at any time - even this very evening if you care to come join me.
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
You had me at more masks, more murders and potato chips...oh, and Vincent Price.
