Time to watch this classic:

It should be noted that these men were also excellent actors that managed to bring gravitas to some rather mediocre films.

Before his acting career, Christopher Lee served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as an intelligence officer, attached to the No. 260 Squadron RAF during the Second World War as a liaison officer for the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

I had no idea their birthdays were so close.

The young kids probably think that the order you listed them is the same order as the photo. It is not. Vincint Price is in the middle of the photo, not the end...

Classic scary movies I loved Vincent Price in the Edgar Allen Poe movies!

Maybe Peter Cushing 26th May 1913 Vincent Price 27th May 1911 Christopher Lee 27th May 1922 ?

The Mount Rushmore of horror.

Is it just me or do these three men appear to look like brothers? Fascinating

Love these guys! Find their movies and watch.

The trio of horror !

As a kid I watched them every Saturday night in the late 60's.

My sister & I were really into Vincent Price movies. That hiked up eyebrow & horror movie laugh though...

Legends. I'm currently reading a biography of Vincent Price written by his daughter.

FWIW, Vincent Price was American.

All deserved much higher caliber films in their entire careers, much better actors than Olivier, Burton, and Welles. At least Cushing and Lee got acknowledged with roles that fit their skills. Price stood out despite seemingly being stuck in B-movie land.

The thing about Cushing and Lee (at least) is that successive generations who discover Dr. Who and STAR WARS, or the LORD OF THE RINGS films might also wonder about these guys and check them out on the IMDb. What wonders await! 😆 Price has his Thriller voiceover, enough to endear him to newer fans.

Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable, I have seen him on his bicycle, I have seen him buying vegetables....

Jeezus! Central casting had a type, eh?

I feel like we're looking at Asimov's Dawn, Day and Dusk in a parallel universe. (I know--their ages are too close together, but still...)

We the People will not forget January 6, 2021!, 86-472

All three are legends as is John Carradine, who was the oldest of the group, 1906. We lived in the same neighborhood for a few years.

Christopher Lee was in a heavy metal band. Legend says that during the filming of LOTR he told Peter Jackson what the sound of someone being stabbed in the back was like.

I will watch any movie that they appear in…I don’t care if it’s mediocre. 😜 In fact, I just watched Dracula A.D. 1972 with Peter and Christopher. And I will never forget how ecstatic I was when Vincent did the closing lines of Thriller. 🙌🏼

They don't make them like this anymore.

ReneeMarcelle2

They all look like brothers!

Cheeky Alpha Monkey2

For a minute I thought those were the monsters on the SCOTUS6…but nope, these men only played monsters in films

Abbe Normal🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦No Fascists! No DMs please!2

They look alike in this picture!
