PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A horror film legend Vincent Price will get his own night at the neighborhood's newest dine-in theater, including a visit from his daughter and a themed four course meal.

Nitehawk Prospect Park announced Monday that one of its special screening events over the next month will be dedicated to the late actor, who is best known for 1950s and 1960s movies like "House of Wax" and "The Last Man On Earth."

The screening — called "I Like What I Know: An Evening of Art, Horror and Food Celebrating Vincent Price" — will feature the Roger Corman horror film "House of Usher" and Price's arts-related videos. It is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 29.

Before the film kicks off, along with a themed meal timed to cues in the movie, moviegoers will get to hear from Price's daughter, Victoria Price, who wrote a biography about her father.

Victoria will speak as the audience enjoys an Amuse Bouche and the next few courses, also inspired by Price's book, "Treasury of Great Recipes."

Nitehawk opened its Park Slope location, the second outpost for the dine-in theater, late last year. It is found in a refurbished 1928-building that once housed the Pavilion Theater. The 34,000-square-foot facility includes seven theaters, two bars and a mezzanine overlooking Prospect Park.

The theater is also holding horror-themed events at its Williamsburg flagship location, where there will be a screening of all the "Halloween" movies in the days before Oct. 31.

Nitehawk Prospect Park will also be part of Brooklyn's Horror Film Festival for the first time this year. The film fest kicks off on Oct. 17 and includes screenings at theaters throughout the borough.
