Help a Horror Hound out, please?

[Calla Lily]

Starting when I was a horror pup at age 5 in 1966, my Dad and I watched horror together on Friday nights. That year we watched a show in which an angry young man stabbed his horrible father's portrait--and the portrait started to bleed. I have been looking for this show ever since I hit adulthood (I'm 60 now). I HAVE HAD ZERO LUCK. I want to see this again before I croak. This is all I remember, except Dad thinks it was part of a half-hour or hour-long series. I've searched both movies and series from 1945-1966. It could have been in color, but we had a black-and-white TV, so that's no help.

I have a long list of what it isn't. Especially, it isn't The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, even though in that movie someone stabs a woman's portrait with garden shears and the portrait bleeds. This is ruled out because 1. it's a woman's portrait and 2. neither Dad nor I can stand Don Knotts movies. Here's my list of shows ruled out:

Movies:
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken Blood Bath A Bucket of Blood
Color Me Blood Red (Dad did *not* introduce me to giallo at age 5!)

TV series:
The Outer Limits
'Way Out
13 Demon Street
Great Ghost Tales
Karloff's The Veil
Karloff's Thriller
The Twilight Zone

TV series with possibles, since I haven't been able to track down all episodes yet:
Lights Out
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
One Step Beyond
Armchair Theatre (a UK series starting 1956)

Does this snippet of memory sound familiar to anyone? I offer a character named after whoever solves this 55-year-old mystery!

Thanks, Hounds.

Sounds like a riff on The Picture of Dorian Gray?

If only! Alas, that isn't it. When DG stabs the picture, it simply turns young again.

Wow, the power of suggestion runs strong with this! I can swear I've see this too, but who knows? I watched a lot of Twilight Zone (you've eliminated that) as well as Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In the late 70s and early 80s PBS played a lot of Vincent Price shorts filmed many years earlier, but those were mostly Edgar Allen Poe adaptations as I recall. "Vincent Price's Gothic Horror" was the name of the show, and the voiceover for the funder was hilarious, some bored Masterpiece Theater type trying to sound ominous--I'll edit with a YouTube link if I can find one.

If I have seen it, and there's no guarantee I'm not only thinking I have, it would be one of those.

Thanks! I haven't seen all of Hitchcock Presents. Haven't heard of Vincent Price's Gothic Horror. I'll look it up.

ETA: the Price show seems to be from 1982, which would rule it out.

I think the shorts in the Price show were filmed long before, and likely aired in other places before then. I seem to recall Price was significantly older in the intro/outro parts starting and ending each show than in the films. But I agree, it's a slim chance.

ETA: wow, I had no idea that show was filmed in Des Moines! I was watching it as a local show!

I've not a clue, but maybe ask these clever people?
