Clanking chains and creaking doors
Ian Gillan recently gave an interview to QMI Agency that was published in Toronto Sun:
As the ideas come from the jam sessions every day… you get them some kind of working generic title and this one sounded like the soundtrack to a horror movie so we called it Vincent Price.
And when I got to doing the lyrics, I said to Roger, ‘Listen, what would a producer of the ’60s or a director want as the ingredients for a horror movie starring Vincent Price?’ And I started writing down the lyrics: Clanking chains, creaking doors, bloodsucking vampires, howling dogs, sacrificial virgins, zombies. I said, ‘There you go. We’re finished. We’ve done the lyrics.’

Thanks to Blabbermouth for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
at least the good news is that they are touring Canada next year at the earliest!
