As I remember, Vincent Price more or less narrates (apparently fictional) adventures he's been on. The ones I've heard have him as himself, with the other characters getting involved in murder, mayhem, etc. You definitely get plenty of Vincent in each episode. I don't remember it as a bad series. But I also don't think I listened to every one of them. That would indicate that they're a bit on the boring side. I believe that he was better in "The Saint." But if you're a collector, they're easy enough to obtain at a very reasonable price at places like eBay and internet OTR dealers. Mine were part of a three-disc set called "Ghost Stories," featuring literally hundreds of shows primarily from the BBC, I think. Anyway, I got 'em for something like seven dollars.

The ones where he participates are the best and generally take place in a foreign location where Vincent is shooting a movie, often incorporating Price's knowledge of art and food.

Unlike many of the OTR discs I have, there are no dates on the CD I have with Price of Fear, just a list of episodes. But I think you're dead on about the 70s. Hard to believe THAT was 30-plus years ago. Just like CBS Radio Mystery Theater, which premiered when I was a senior in high school....

A selection of 11 of the best source stories from the first three years of the show; it had a nice introduction by Price and forewords by the producer and editor.
