I swear when I first skimmed the email with info about a Vincent Price food event, I read “recipes from the cookbook for the 5 corpses.” When you read that name in the subject line, you are prone to scary, creepy thoughts, I reckon.

Just 3 weeks before Halloween 2015, Vincent’s daughter Victoria Price will be back in her dad’s hometown (STL), promoting the 50th anniversary re-release of A Treasury of Great Recipes, a cookbook by Mary and Vincent Price.

The Vincent Price Tenacious Eats event is set for Saturday, October 10. Chef Liz Schuster will be whipping up recipes from the cookbook for the 5 courses. Each course (not corpse) is served with a creative cocktail. The film to be featured will be Theatre of Blood, starring Vincent Price.

Live music and cash bar at 6:30 p.m. The movie and the first course begin at 8:00 p.m. Cost is $75/person. Advance tickets may be purchased by clicking HERE. Location for the event is STL Banquet Center, 5700 Leona Avenue in South St. Louis (63116). Costumes are encouraged! (To learn more about Tenacious Eats, click HERE.)

Victoria Price will be at the Tenacious Eats event and will have copies of the cookbook available for purchase. The book, which features a lengthy historical preface by Victoria and an introduction by Wolfgang Puck, contains recipes and menus ranging from haute cuisine at Europe’s finest restaurants to Dodger Stadium hot dogs. Cost of the book is $50.

Victoria Price will be making other appearances in St. Louis during the weekend of October 9. Those will be announced soon. For more info about the book and Vincent Price, click HERE.
