“Christopher Lee and I were born the same day, he claims 10 years later, but that’s a lie, and Peter Cushing was born the day before: the 26th of May and Christopher and I are the 27th of May. Well, one time I was here doing a film with both of them and I thought it would be kinda fun to have a party. So I looked around for a place and found the marvelous place that was The Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud’s. And we had a birthday party there. It was wonderful fun. You couldn’t tell who were the actors!”
-Vincent Price on Terry Wogan, 1982.
Happy Birthday Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee!

“I don’t want to sound gloomy, but, at some point of your lives, every one of you will notice that you have in your life one person, one friend whom you love and care for very much. That person is so close to you that you are able to share some things only with him. For example, you can call that friend, and from the very first maniacal laugh or some other joke you will know who is at the other end of that line. We used to do that with him so often. And then when that person is gone, there will be nothing like that in your life ever again.
“My criterion for accepting a role isn’t based on what I would like to do. I try to consider what the audience would like to see me do and I thought kids would adore Star Wars.”
- Peter Cushing
