Vincent Price built a career playing men audiences loved to fear. Lord Edward Whitman might be one of his cruellest.
In this scene from Cry of the Banshee, Whitman’s men tie an innocent tavern wench to a wheel and burn her alive, not out of justice, but to keep an entire village in line through fear… A key film in the British folk horror boom of the early 1970s, Cry of the Banshee pairs Price’s icy authority with a genuinely unsettling look at mob cruelty and abuse of power.
