• Resumen

  • Mixing a sarcastic ironic tone with personal memories, the filmmaker evokes his first image of Vincent Price -playing the part of a psychopathic assassin in House of Wax (1953)- and goes on to bring back the actor´s reputation as Master of Evil, earned in the early sixties in Roger Corman´s adaptations of various Poe stories. The last part focuses on the tribute paid to the actor by Tim Burton, who in two of his films commemorates the most legendary figure of a genre that has since disappeared.
