“Vincent Price: What Keeps Us Alive” is a fully authorized documentary that reveals far more than the man behind Hollywood’s master of the macabre.

Through rare archival materials and intimate interviews with Price’s children, Victoria Price and V.B. Price, alongside cultural icons and admirers, the film traces a life of elegant contradictions: a classically trained actor who redefined screen villainy with charm and intelligence; an erudite art collector, educator, and gourmand who moved effortlessly between high culture and low-budget horror; and, perhaps most surprisingly, a warm and generous mentor figure whose influence extended far beyond the screen.

Victoria Price will be in attendance for a special post-screening Q&A.
