voice of the crimson executioner.


since this was originally an italian film, it was obviously dubbed in english for the u.s. market. is it just me or does the voice of THE CRIMSON EXECUTIONER sound very much like VIC PERRIN? for those unaware, VIC PERRIN was the control voice/narrator on THE OUTER LIMITS TV series. he had an exceptional way of speaking & a true gift for narration. has anyone else noticed this as well? anyone have some info on this subject? just wondering. by the way, i LOVE this movie. the music, the imagery, its a gem of a film.

You're right! watching the english dubbed version now, and he does sound like Vic Perrin!

It's the first time I've seen this film, and it is a neat 1960's drive in film!

Hello my Friend. Thanks for your input. even though we haven't conclusively proven that it was indeed VIC PERRIN doing the Narration [as of yet] im still glad i was able to introduce a fellow classic Horror/Sci-Fi fan to sometimes forgotten Gem of a film. very happy you enjoyed it. :)

I came here specifically because the voice reminded me of the voice from some episodes in the original Star Trek series. Sure enough Vic Perrin does those voices. I call it Myth Confirmed.
