For Day 2 of 32 Days of Halloween, we generally go with a bit of Poe. And when we originally found a video that purported to be the brilliant Zero Mostel reading Poe? We were hooked! But very quickly we realized it’s not Poe at all–but instead a Jerry Juhl original that he’s reciting. But that’s so fantastic we couldn’t hold back from throwing it at you.
And while we’re on the subject, might as well throw some Vincent Price into the mix. With additional Muppets.
The Zero Mostel episode is available on the Season 2 DVD collection and the Vincent Price episode is available on the Season 1 set.
And hey, we have a history of Price on this day as well, so we stuck with tradition regardless. Speaking of which, previous Day 2 fun has included: the trailer for Scream and Scream Again, Vincent Price performing “The Cask of Amontillado” then “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and the trailer for The Masque of the Red Death! Last year’s entry was a meeting of Price with John Carradine.
