This is pretty exciting news. Shock, the wonderful company out of Australia, is set to release a 9-film Vincent Price Collection on Blu-ray on October 7, 2015. This is welcome news because as most of you may know the first volume of the Scream Factory sets recently went OOP and are now going for pretty ridiculous prices from third party sellers. Of the 6 films that were on that Scream Factory set, only one (The Pit and the Pendulum) is not included on this set. Still even without that one, this new set includes the other 5 films plus 4 more. Of course this set is Region B so you need a region free player, but still this is wonderful news.

And this set includes the House on Haunted Hill! To the best of my knowledge this will be the Blu-ray debut for what is arguably the best William Castle movie ever. Yes, I am very thrilled about this.

Currently you can pre-order the set from JB Hi-Fi out of Australia and it’s listed at $75 AUD. Once you factor in the exchange rate you’re looking at about $54 USD for 9 Vincent Prince films on Blu-ray. That is a smoking deal! And if you pre-order the set from JB Hi-Fi you get their lowest price guarantee, so if it goes cheaper than that before the release date, you’ll automatically get it at the cheaper price. You kind of can’t afford not to pick this set up.

Check out the full lineup of movies on the set below!

The Abominable Dr Phibes
One by one, Vincent Price kills off a team of doctors who failed to save his wife on the operating table. Due to injury in an auto accident, Phibes has no face or voice. He devises gruesome ends for the doctors, each death patterned after one of the plagues brought down on Ramses in ancient Egypt — from bats to locusts.

Dr Phibes Rises Again
This sequel to the stylish 1971 melodrama The Abominable Dr. Phibes once more stars Vincent Price in the title role. Long believed dead, Phibes arises from a state of suspended animation, in search of the means to bring his deceased wife back to the land of the living. With the aid of the enigmatic, never-speaking Vulnavia (Valli Kemp), Phibes follows an Egyptian expedition, seeking out an ancient elixir of life and killing everyone who gets in his way.

Witchfinder General
By consensus, Vincent Price’s finest performance among his gallery of horror-movie rogues comes in Witchfinder General, the intense 1968 film that erased any hint of camp from the actor’s persona. Price plays Matthew Hopkins, a sadistic 17th-century “witchfinder” who uses barbaric methods to identify (and invariably execute) supposed witches. Along with Price’s disciplined work, Witchfinder is also the best film by the talented and ill-fated director Michael Reeves, who was only 24 when he shot the movie. The final sequence is perhaps the most harrowing fade-out of any Sixties horror picture, and offers no comforting resolution.

Tomb Of Ligeia
Some years after having buried his beloved wife Ligea, Verden Fell meets and eventually marries the lovely Lady Rowena. Fell is something of a recluse, living in a small part of a now ruined Abbey with his manservant Kenrick as the only other occupant. He remains infatuated with his late wife and is convinced that she will return to him. While all goes well when first married, he returns to his odd behavior when they return to the Abbey from their honeymoon. The memories of Ligea continue to haunt him as well as her promise that she would never die.

The Haunted Palace
In this chilling adaption of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward”, Charles Dexter Ward (Vincent Price) travels with his wife Ann (Debra Paget) to Arkham to inspect a mansion he has inherited. The original lord of the manor was his Great Grandfather Joseph Curwen, a disciple of the devil, who placed a hideous curse on the villages as they burned him at the stake. Slowly Ward feels the spirit of his ancestor possessing him and seeking a desperate vengeance on the descedants of those who previously thwarted his plans. Accursed mutants…evil possession…will anyone escape The Haunted Palace?

House Of Usher
When a beautiful young woman’s suitor arrives to ask her hand in marriage, the doors of the mysterious house of Usher fling open…and terror begins. It seems the young woman’s brother is violently oppos- ed to her planned marriage and resorts to macabre ends to prevent the tainted Usher blood from spreading to future generations.

House On Haunted Hill
The sinister Price invites his enemies to spend the night in his decaying, old, creepy mansion with a violent past. He offers them $10,000 each if they can spend the whole night there. He gives each one a tiny coffin with a gun enclosed and then comes up with all sorts of devices to cause them to use the guns on each other.

Masque Of The Red Death
The Masque of the Red Death is Roger Corman’s, and most people’s, choice as the best of the Edgar Allan Poe pictures. Masque offers the expected creepy atmosphere and violence against peasants, plus metaphysical ponderings and pointed satanic cruelty. Death and Debauchery reign in the castle of Prince Prospero (Vincent Price), and when it reigns… it pours! Prospero has only once excuse for his diabolical deeds–the devil made him do it! But when a mysterious, uninvited guest crashes his pad during a masquerade ball, there’ll be hell to pay as the party atmosphere turns into a danse macabre!

The Last Man On Earth
Screen legend Vincent Price stars in this, the first, and finest, adaptation of Richard Matheson’s classic horror/sci-fi novel I Am Legend. After a plague wipes out the human race, Dr. Robert Morgan (Price) struggles with loneliness – and his sanity as the monotony of the unending days broken only by his daily hunts for vampires! One day on his solitary travels he runs across another human: is she a mirage, or real? This existential masterpiece ratchets up the tension, and keeps it up, until the last thrilling frame.
