In a previous video I pointed out a possible future reference to The Beatles' 1995 release of music single "Free As A Bird" in 1964 Roger Corman horror film The Masque Of The Red Death. Based on the 19th century story by Edgar Allen Poe, the adaptation featured a cast with Vincent Price, Jane Asher & Patrick Magee.

Amazingly, this may not be the only such visual reference to song titles or lyrics of The Beatles in a Vincent Price film. An Easter Egg To The Beatles' 1966 song Yellow Submarine may be seen in a 1967 episode of sci-fi TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
- Price guest stars in S4.E2 "The Deadly Dolls", playing a puppeteer professor who attempts to hijack the sub. While not yellow in color, The Seaview was sold as a toy in that color. For season 2, a mini "Flying Sub" was added, seen in the above story, which is indeed yellow.
- Another good reference involving Price may be the 1966 Mario Bava directed comedy Dr. Goldfoot And The Girl Bombs. At 27 minutes, 45 seconds Goldfoot can be seen standing at a periscope (partially yellow in color) spying on a meeting of generals.
- 19th century author Edgar Allen Poe appears on the album cover to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) (center image, back row). Price starred in several film adaptations of Poe's material.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In a recent video, I pointed out what I thought may be a predictive Easter Egg reference to the Beatles'
00:131995 song release of Free as a Bird.
00:17You can see this visualized in 1964 Roger Corman horror film Mask of the Red Death, which starred Vincent Price
00:26and Jane Asher.
00:27I thought about this and was amazed that I could think of some other instances of movies featuring Price where
00:37ideographical references to Beatles' song titles or lyrics can be seen.
00:44And I'll give another one.
00:46Yellow Submarine, one of the Beatles' most well-known songs, released on their 1966 album Revolver.
00:54It was written as a children's song by Paul and John.
00:57It features vocals by drummer Ringo Starr.
01:01I thought up a couple of examples.
01:03The main one, I think, is an episode of science fiction TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
01:11This is based on the 1961 movie created by Erwin Allen.
01:16The cast includes Richard Basehart, David Hedison, and Robert Dowdle.
01:21This ran between 1964 and 1968 on ABC in America.
01:28Vincent Price guest stars in Season 4, Episode 2, entitled The Daily Dolls, broadcast in 67.
01:36A futuristic submarine is featured in this, not yellow in color.
01:42However, some toys have been sold based on this that are indeed yellow.
01:48For Season 2, the Sea View was updated and now carries the Flying Sub, a two-man mini-sub.
01:56And this one is indeed yellow in color.
01:59There's another good Vincent Price submarine sequence.
02:03In the 1966, Mario Bava directed comedy, Dr. Goldfoot, and The Girl Bombs.
02:11This cast included Fabian Forti, Franco Franchi, Laura Antonelli.
02:17So in this, fast forward to the 27-minute, 45-second mark.
02:22While he's not in a submarine, you'll see Price's character.
02:26He's standing at a periscope, partially yellow in color.
02:31And he's spying on a boardroom meeting of generals in this sequence.
02:36My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
02:38There I go back, I look at movies and television from the past.
02:41I analyze these for possible references to future media.
02:45These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
02:49Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
02:55likenesses of the actors.
02:58And what I've found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:04and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
03:10that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
03:17My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com.
03:24Thanks for watching.
