Shot as a Halloween TV special, shortly after the release of The Exorcist, The Horror Hall Of Fame is a horror themed talk show, hosted by Vincent Price (alongside his hunchback helper Zuckman); and filmed before a live studio audience, with appearances from Frank Gorshin, John Carradine, John Astin, makeup artist Bill Tuttle, and vampire historian Raymond T McNally.
It's meant to celebrate the world of horror cinema; and all that is involved with, has influenced, and taken influence from it.
Together Price and his guests reflect on their own experiences working in this dark realm of fantasy; while looking at a selection of some of the most classic performances and scenes from some the most infamous titles in the genre. Films like Der Golem & Cabinet Of Dr Caligari to Aadam's Family and The Exorcist...even Blacula; as well as those featuring Karloff, Lugosi, Lorre, Carradine, Chaney Jr, Cushing, Lee, and, of course, Price, himself.
There's a pretty cool moment when Carradine tells of how he was first offered and turned down Frankenstein- which led to Karloff being offered and taking the role.
They also include a running gag through the great grandson of the original Dr Frankenstein, who promises his newest creation will be revealed before the night is done.
Though, it unfortunately escapes before we get to see it...
A fun little gem, that is a big part of the treasure hunt I used it for.
So that alone gives it value.
6 out of 10.
