Publisher Description

Twenty tales of terror and suspense, brought to you by sinister storyteller Vincent Price Horror legend Vincent Price presents an anthology of eerie, unsettling tales with a devilish twist - some purportedly based on his own adventures, others narrated by him in his own inimitable style. Listen to his horrifying accounts of an unnerving piscatorial experience Down Under, a violinist with very special hands, a Bonfire Night party when a bullying father disappeared and a secretary's murderous revenge. Here, too, are the spine-chilling stories of a beloved cat with an unusual inheritance, a scientist whose experiments on his own son lead to unforeseen danger and a phoney clairvoyant and her client, who seeks a preview of eternity... Among the star casts are Garard Green, Peter Cushing, Bill Kerr, Coral Browne, Christopher Bidmead, Adrienne Corri, Betty Huntley-Wright, Freddie Jones, Edward Woodward, Annette Crosbie, Maurice Denham and Hywel Bennett.

A must-listen for any classic horror fans

Vincent Price presents these stories in his wonderfully soft spoken yet chilling manner.

A mix of narration by Price and full cast (with one episode seeing him alongside Peter Cushing!) are complimented with sound effects to really help set the scene.

A good balance between horror and comedy, sometimes both at the same time in that classic grim fashion.

The only downside to this is that only 20 tales are included whereas the series had 22 tales. Sadly one (Never Gamble With A Loser) appears to be lost of the mists of missing media, however another (Speciality Of The House) is not included for unknown reason despite the fact that it was recorded and can be found on YouTube.
