By VICTORIA PRICE with LEONARD HUGHES It's no mean feat to whittle the best of the Vincent Price ouvre down to a mere 10 films. But we've engagedthe daughter of the fright-film legend to do just that -- and some of the selections may surprise you. 10. Service De Luxe My father was always very disappointed by this film. But when I finally saw it, I thought he was a lot better in it than he thought he was. And he was SO handsome. 9. Dragonwyck His first starring role. And a precursor to the Vincent Price of the Poe films. 8. Champagne for Caesar/His Kind of Woman He had so much fun making these two movies. And it shows. 7. The Song of Bernadette A classic film. And the first film where you can glimpse the future Vincent Price film persona. 6. The Raven Another film where he had a hell of a good time. And it comes through in his performance. 5. Leave Her to Heaven Not one of his biggest roles, but a very good one in a very good film. 4. House of Wax Well, what can you say. A classic. 3. Edward Scissorhands I loved my father's gentle performance in this film. It still moves me. 2. Theater of Blood He was an amazing speaker of verse. I loved to hear him get a chance to perform Shakespeare on film, even if he was force-feeding poodle pie or frying my future stepmother. 1. Laura I think this film allows me the closest glimpse of a side of my father's personality as a very young man that he rarely showed. The Southern young man. Not that he was a cad. But he was a well-off, well-bred Southern boy. But more than that, it was an extraordinary ensemble cast, a great director, and a wonderful story. I never get tired of this film.
