Most horror film enthusiasts have a special place in their hearts for the works of Vincent Price. Some of us, though, got an extra benefit when NBC ran a special on carnivorous plants and other deathtraps in the spring of 1977, hosted by Mr. Price.

Today, the 20th anniversary of his death, it seems particularly appropriate to share this again. At atve vale.
