Boingboing pointed out this page with old hokey horror movie trailers, but they failed to mention that a whole mess of them are Vincent Price movies (they have the trailers for _both_ Dr. Phibes films, which I love to small lumpy bits). Also there's the Raven, The House of Usher, (they do mention) the Pit and the Pendulum, and the Tomb of Ligeia. Maybe there's more, but those are the ones I've seen and recognise as Vincent Price pictures.
Hm, watching said trailers, the sound on Dr. Phibes Rises Again craps out about a fifth into the file.
Anyhow, I am disappointed at the absence of Theatre of Blood and Twice Told Tales, but I guess this is supposed to be a Serious Horror Only list, and oh well.

Speaking of old movies, is this (from here) really what the Monster from the Id was supposed to look like? Check out the little playset-looking thing (from here). I mean, where'd they get the coloration? All we ever see of it is shots like these. Maybe there is a maquette somewhere that people are going from. I do enjoy the apishness (probably will never say that again) of the model, there; it's an interesting distortion of its human source.

Aww, vole behavior regulation. Also, interesting how pair bonding and social behavior in general seem to be correlated in some cases.
