Announcing The Vincent Price Blogathon

It had to happen. You knew it was inevitable. You just didn’t know where it was coming from or when it would occur. Without additional fanfare, I, along with blogging partner extraordinaire Gill Jacob of Realweegiemidget Reviews, proudly present The Vincent Price Blogathon. We hope to showcase, with your help, all things wild, wonderful and (yes), wacky about this true Renaissance man.

Aside from a handful of contemporaries, few would dispute his position as the reigning crown prince of horror, but his career has spanned multiple genres, and encompassed a multitude of interests that went far beyond the silver screen. You don’t have to restrict your topic to movies. Feel free to explore virtually any aspect of Mr. Price’s amazing life, including his work on the stage, numerous TV appearances, voiceover work, cookbooks, and philanthropic efforts. Oh, and don’t let the “blog” in blogathon scare you. We will happily accept submissions from your podcast, YouTube channel, Facebook/Instagram post, public restroom scrawlings (okay, maybe not); wherever your Vincent Price muse takes you. Surprise us!

Not sure where to start? You can find a list of Mr. Price’s movies here. 

Still stumped for a topic? Feel free to reach out and bounce your idea off us. We won’t bite (much)!

8.     Note: We will be publishing all links on both blogs, each day of the blogathon.
