La Mujer y Su Mar

29May09

The Wild and Fearful Tale

27May09

This is actually one of our favorite “Vincent Price” films. It’s short, and we don’t see the “real” Vincent Price but it’s really a lovely tribute. And just hearing Vincent Price’s voice gives us beautiful chills. more about “Vincent (Short Film) By Tim Burton/ N…“, posted with vodpod
