The Vincent Price Blogathon Is Here – Day 1 Recap

Gill Jacob of Realweegiemidget Reviews and I proudly present the first day of The Vincent Price Blogathon! To say that response to this three-day blogging extravaganza has been tremendous would be an understatement. Our talented bloggers have risen to the challenge, doing what they do best, to show the many aspects of this multi-talented thespian, epicurean, patron of the arts, and raconteur. We hope their contributions make things a little brighter, while Mr. Price keeps you company during this pandemic-imposed isolation. A giant thanks to Gill for helping to make this event a reality. Additionally, I would also like to extend a big thanks to Classic Movie Hub for helping promote our blogathon, and Westgate Gallery for sponsoring the related blogathon contest.

Watch today’s post for further updates. If you plan to participate but you’re not quite ready, don’t worry, we’ll post your link on Day Two. And of course, it’s never too late to join. Post a comment below, email me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, or reach me on Twitter (@barry_cinematic). You may also contact Gill by commenting on her post, through her blog’s Contact Me page, or on Twitter (@realweegiemidge).

Also, a quick reminder: It’s not too late to enter the contest to win an Italian poster pair for The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), courtesy of Westgate Gallery.

The deadline to enter is 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Saturday, April 18^th. The contest is open to all blogathon participants, followers on Twitter, and blog visitors. To enter, all you need to do is answer the question: “What’s your favorite Vincent Price film?”

1. Send your answer by commenting below, emailing me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, or by contacting me on Twitter at @barry_cinematic.

2. Only one entry per person, please. Entering multiple times will not increase your chances.
