Show Notes

We return to one of the earliest series that we featured on this podcast, The Price of Fear! Today we hop on a train with the series’ star Vincent Price for the episode, “The Man Who Hated Scenes,” featuring fellow horror icon Peter Cushing. Price sits down for breakfast with a stranger who has a macabre tale to tell. Why was he traveling without his wife? Is he truly as nervous as he seems? How difficult is it for a Minnesotan to send food back at a restaurant? Listen for yourself and find out! (And thank you to our mysterious listener Terry for this illustration of Vincent Price!)
