Sunday night's double feature at the Mahoning was the third annual Vincent Price Twice event.
The special at the concession stand was inspired by a recipe in the Mary and Vincent Price 1965 cookbook: A Treasury Of Great Recipes.
The cookbook is available to read at the Internet Archive. The recipe for Dutch Meatballs is at the bottom of page 128.
The meatballs we had aren't exactly the same as the the recipe (for one thing, there's no ground veal in ours), but they were pretty darn tasty!
While I think Vincent Price was an incredible actor and a very cool human being, I can't say that I was in love with either of tonight's films. The 1970 British film Scream And Scream Again started off strong, but the story sort of goes all over the place and doesn't really make a whole lot of sense; at least to me. I enjoyed the 1963 Roger Corman film The Raven more than the first film, but it's pretty dull if I'm being honest. Now that I think about it, I wasn't especially crazy with either of the films shown at the Vincent Price Twice double feature last year either. Maybe next year's films will be a little closer to my tastes.
