From a Whisper to a Scream (also known as The Offspring) is a 1987 anthology horror movie starring Vincent Price and directed by Jeff Burr.

In a small Tennessee town, a historian relates four horror stories to a reporter.
The film was written and shot under the title From a Whisper to a Scream, but it was changed to The Offspring for the American release. However, when it was released on DVD it was released under its original title.
Vincent Price disliked the movie. In a letter to German actor and puppeteer Gerd J. Pohl, Price wrote: You're right about "From a Whisper to a Scream" - terrible! My agent misrepresented it and I was trapped in it. However, before filming, Vincent Price readily agreed to star in it because he was impressed with the confidence in the director, who was just a young and new filmmaker at the time.
The movie was filmed during the periods of 1985, and 1986, and was finally released in 1987. During filming, Vincent Price's scenes for the framing story were the last to be filmed.
