\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Decades after his death in 1993, Vincent Price remains one of cinema\u2019s most distinctive and distinguished Gothic icons. A multi-talented performer, Hollywood\u2019s silver-tongued, moustachioed master of menace introduced a rich dose of elegance and refinement into the horror genre, even in his most ghoulish roles. Behind the scenes, Price was just as much of a class act. A noted art collector and gourmet, Vincent penned celebrated cookery books and even recorded an EP dedicated to his love of fine wine. \"\"<\/a>So it\u2019s particularly apt that the latest venture dedicated to celebrating his eclectic legacy is a prestigious new wine collection.<\/p>\n

Devotees of vintage horror might also consider the tribute particularly appropriate. In his first horror role, in the ghoulish historical thriller \u2018Tower of London\u2019 way back in 1939, Price\u2019s character the Duke of Clarence is drowned in a vat of Malmsey wine. In one of his best-loved scenes, that demonstrated the actor\u2019s talent for comedy, Vincent loses a wine-tasting contest to fellow horror icon Peter Lorre in the 1962 chiller \u2018Tales of Terror\u2019. \"\"<\/a>It was one of a series of horror films, loosely adapted from the work of the legendary Gothic author Edgar Allan Poe and directed by B-movie legend Roger Corman, which cemented Price\u2019s iconic status in the genre.<\/p>\n

Devote yourself into vintage horror using the hand crafted Beast’s Claw Walking Cane [WS3]<\/a>  This cane portrays a true gentleman with its mystical crystal ball will pay true homage to any early horror film. Immortalise Vincent Price by adorning yourself the the Ravenine Pendant [P697]<\/a> in tribute to his film The Raven. This hand crafted pewter pendant with exquisite detailing upon the wings can be paired with the Black Raven dropppers[E333] <\/a>to complete any vintage horror look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Vincent Price Signature Wine Collection features four wines, each with a label designed by an artist associated with the macabre, with a name referencing Poe\u2019s prose and poetry. There\u2019s a Lenore Chardonnay, Raven Cabernet, a Prospero Pinot Noir, and a Bartolome Red. Sadly we can\u2019t comment on them personally, as they are currently only available in the USA, but we gather they\u2019ve impressed some connoisseurs.
