Agree fully but I wouldn't have clicked on it because im doom scrolling 😂Didn't he leave us a big goodie bag of posthumous treats anyway im sure he did ?
If this has been 2 hours I would have watched the whole thing. Or are you referring to a documentary that already exists? Dr Goldfoot & the Bikini Machine was a comedy & I love how he played the silly villain completely seriously. He was like Nicholas Cage in that him just being there could save a terrible movie from obscurity, & he would be the only good thing about that movie. Oh yeah, he was also the inspiration for Dr. Strange.
VP was a two weeks' guest at the hotel where i worked in harvard square in around 1989. he was there to tape intros for PBS' mystery series, and at that time mr. price was in need of some help getting around. so, every day i went to his room and we walked down to wait for his limo to the studio. we spent around 20 -- 30 minutes together each day, talking about art history and cooking. he was the model of a gentleman and he was brilliant. i have met the very biggest of A list stars, HOF athletes, big shot politicians, and billionaires and VP stood out from all of them in his humility, character, and grace. i was so fortunate to draw that assignment !
All the real horror greats have Price-less voices. And Price was in the top 3 for sure.....But just listen to Karloff, Lugosi, Rathbone, Rains, Lorre, Thesigher, Laughton, Mason, Cushing and Lee. Those voices could seduct complete nunneries into foregoing their vocation.
I discovered Vincent Price during his Spooky Grandpa phase in the 80s with 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, the Thriller music video, and Edward Scissorhands. His Edgar Allen Poe movies, House on Haunted Hill, The Tingler, and Theater of Blood were my favorites.
@@biguy617 Dr. Phibes is a darkly funny movie. For instance, one man is killed by a bust of a unicorn catapulted from outside; to get the body off of the wall the cops have to unscrew the corpse!
When I was a very wee girl, my parents would take me along to the all-night creature features at the local drive-in. It was usually a bunch of older movies (even for the mid-70s). So, I grew up with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. It was a wonderful early intro to horror. 🥰 Price’s voice is as soothing as a lullaby.
My late sister talked about meeting Mr. Price at a hotel where she was doing night audit. I don't remember the reason he was in town (may have been the new Art Gallery), but he stayed at the hotel. She recognized him (of course she did) and he sat and talked with her for about an hour. All three of us were big fans of his, each with a different favorite. The Raven is still my favorite. She said he was so debonaire and smart, could talk history as well as art and cooking. We both cried when we heard he passed away. Can you imagine the horror reunion in Heaven when he got there?
I'm Canadian and I remember watching The Hilarious House of Frightenstein when I was 11 years old. I loved Vincent Price and I just loved the show. It was so trippy especially for a young kid. I'm sure many adults tripped out on the show too. I grew up on Vincent Price movies of the 70s. I can remember begging my folks to let me stay up late to watch them on weekends. I would usually get scared and have to sleep with the lights on, but I didn't care. As an adult I got into his earlier movies. To me he was a real gem and I am so glad as a fan that he left behind such a wonderful body of work to enjoy.
"Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y'all's neighborhood And whomsoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell" ''The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grisly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller'' Vincent Price's speaking part in Michael Jackson's Thriller
I was severely depressed about 10 years ago and due to a gunshot wound ( I'm a repo agent) I was stuck at home and the last man on earth and I started finding all of his films and I fell in love with his hilarious characters
I think Frederick Loren in "House On Haunted Hill" was the perfect role for Price because he got to be urbane and dryly humorous, yet menacing and even oddly sympathetic.
I LOVED House of Frightenstein and always got up early Saturday mornings to watch it. It was a big part of this Canadian schoolkid's life, and I'm so glad to hear it's available on Tubi. Time to binge watch my favorite Professor and Librarian.
Mr. Price was my favorite actor. His skill, talent and voice were beyond compare and he could charm or scare the bejesus out of you, all in the same scene. I too love him as Doctor Phibes but listening to him perform the intro to "Black Widow" on "Welcome to my Nightmares" by Alice Cooper is nothing short of chilling! Great vid!
Vincent Price is a legend. I've always felt he deserved Oscar nominations for "The Abominable Doctor Phibes" and "Theatre of Blood." Always amazing. Always great. He never gave a bad performance.
I still remember watching reruns of Hilarious House of Frightenstien when i was growing up in the late 80s early 90s. It was only a few year later that i realized it was shot at my local tv station here in Hamilton. And all my appreciation for Price grew from there. ❤
So much fun facts about Vincent price!! I remember growing up with the 13 ghosts of Scooby doo. When I saw Vincent in Edward scissorhands as a kid, i cried because I recognized him. It felt so surreal. RIP to an absolute legend. I'm so happy to have grown up in his cinematic era.
I’m quite surprised that you overlooked one of his last, best and most touching roles, the wonderful “The Whales of August”, from 1987. As a kid I grew up with his Edgar Allen Poe films, one featuring a young, just starting out Jack Nicholson (also not mentioned in your commentary), and never missed the chance to watch him acting, even in films which didn’t deserve his brilliance. A true genius!
Loved him. I was born in 1964, so I grew up watching his movies on TV in the 70's. So talented, and a man of class and kindness. His two friends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were a lot like him: brilliant, talented and pure class. A great Amercan actor, fun, and in some ways a pioneer in horror. Up there with the greats, the above mentioned Lee and Cushing, with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Fay Wray, Barbara Steel, Peter Lorre, John Caradine, Lon Chaney, etc.
Knowing that he and Dame Diana Rigg worked together on multiple films, I wonder if he's the reason she took over hosting duties after he got too sick to continue.
Mr. Price did a fantastic job in Norman Corwin's radio play, "The Undecided Molecule", as a prosecutor who demands a variety of grisly punishments for said molecule's refusal to become part of the world.
Fun Facts: One of Vincent Price's early rolls was Joseph Smith in the 1940 film 🎞 Brigham Young. He also played the Master Builder in The Ten Commandments (1956)
Price had the classical Mid-Atlantic accent the actors strove to aquire back in the days of old Hollywood. This type of accent was considered a necessity for actors from both sides of the pond. Examples of it include Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, who came from opposites sides of the Atlantic, but shared a common accent.
Peter Cushing had his birthday on May 26th! I love that the three biggest horror icons also shared birthdays and were best friends. So much so that one year, Lee and Cushing had a joint birthday party at Madame Tussauds Chamber of Horrors.
Vincent Price is such a talented actor that made so many great movies, including my top 3 favorite horror movies! Both Phibes films and Theater of Blood! His audio series "The Price of Fear" are one of my favorite audio drama series!
Im Canadian and got my first views of Price in the House of Frightenstein, Laura and Leave Her to Heaven on the weekday movie channels....I thought the TV show so silly but it also introduced me to the Horror Genre and the Horror stock characters of the Werewolf and Mad Doctor etc. But curiously, you omitted that Vincent was Bi but married to Broadway player Edith Barrett of I Walked with a Zombie (43) fame.
Despite the cheap special effects, The Tingler has some real psychological terror. Price is determined to scare his wife to death, so he gives her LSD and presents her with a bathtub full of blood and a death certificate on the bathroom mirror. It's the first film I know of that explored the use of LSD. He had a real presence and his voice is memorable.
"The Crowned Prince of Horror" had a magnificently long and successful career in film, taking even the worst or silliest of scripts and making it enjoyable by approaching the worst script with the same dedication he approached the best. He was a gourmet Chef, and had published numerous cook books AND was an avid collector, and devoted promoter of modern art, having lectured on the subject at numerous universities and art schools. WTF happened to Vincent price? He lived happily ever after to the end of his days LOVED and respected by family, friends, and co workers. Remembered FONDLY by fans he is part of a PANTHEON of actors who built their careers on scaring the Sh*t out of movie goers, then laughing along side them afterwards. Price was in every sense of the word a true Gentleman, and a GREAT performer.
Mispronouncing Frightenstein, when Price says it in the opening of every single episode, brings more chills to my spine than any of the horror he was involved in. Harvey Wallbanger disapproves!
When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to be Vincent Price. *Edit - I discovered Vincent Price on the Hilarious House of Frightenstein. A wild and trippy children's show.
I accidentally bumped into Vincent at a Brooks Brothers store in Santa Monica around 1992. He was being fitted while I was shopping the racks. There was a woman with him along with the tailor. She was trying to get Vincent to behave because the actor was being difficult with the tailor, making a scene, being quite vocal. That's what attracted my attention in the first place. Vincent was visibly cranky. The woman had her hands full. I just left them alone and continued browsing the racks. He'd lost a lot of weight and was visibly frail.
Oh my God! The hilarious house of Frightenstein is an absolute gem. I didn’t even know it existed until I stumbled across it on Tubi a few years ago. I try to watch at least one episode every single day. It’s amazing. I really feel like Rob Zombie probably watched that show a lot when he was young lol. It’s so good and it’s an absolute must see. I wish there were still shows like this nowadays for children.
We had a VHS in the 80's, Tales of Horror it was called (or something like that). It was clips of classic horror movies that V. Price intoduced and commented on... "They're coming to get you Barbara...." My siblings and I got a kick out of it, as did mom. It was our first introduciton to the man.
Wonderful tribute to such a talented, treasure of a man. He just seemed so nice on the talk shows or interviews. ( I still have nightmares from the Dr. Phibes movies though!). Thank you for the video.❤
Vincent Price was such a class act of a human being. I'll never forget being scared to death of him when I first saw "House of Wax" when I was seven. I immediately watched anything with him in it. I later found out what a kind man he was in life, as well as his love of art. When he passed away back in the early 90s, I remember genuinely feeling as though we all lost a true artist and downright decent human being. Think I'll pop on "House of Wax" tonight.
He was the kind gentleman trying to pursue one of the sisters in The Whales of August. He did two versions of The House of Seven Gables. The first one was a direct adaptation and the second one, horror based on.
My grandpa looked like Vincent Price. As a kid in the 1970s I watched a lot of his movies on Sunday matinees and late night public access horror shows and one of my all-time favourite Saturday morning tv shows was The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein. Also as a comic book fan in the 1970s I really wanted him to play my favourite Marvel hero Doctor Strange on an episode of The Incredible Hulk or even that terrible Spider-Man live action show and maybe get his own spin-off.
No one, absolutely no one, has a better evil laugh. I’ve loved him since I was very very young and watched House of Wax on tv about 1964. Been a fan ever since. I still like his type of horror movie over today slashers. I’m a boomer after all.
Honest Vincent Price Story from my life: When I was a kid we had to learn to write letters in elementary school. One letter had to be written to a "celebrity' requesting them to reply somehow. I loved Jerry Lewis back then (do not judge me...he was funny to a kid in elementary school). So, I wrote a letter to Mr. Lewis asking for an autographed picture. I figured I would get something great for "show and tell" at least once a year with an autographed picture of Jerry Lewis. A couple of weeks go by and suddenly I got a letter from a Hollywood address. I ripped open the letter, excited to find my own personalized autographed picture of my comic hero. But what I found was an autographed picture of some stranger...a man I had no idea who it was. I was so heartbroken. I took the picture to my Mom and Dad asking telling them how disappointed I was. Dad told me, "Well, that's Vincent Price. He's a very famous horror actor." Yes, I received an autographed picture of the famous scary actor. I was so disappointed that I slowly unceremoniously dropped the photograph into the trash in my bedroom. Yes...I threw away an autographed photo of one of the worlds great horror actors, not knowing or caring who he was. Years later when "Thriller" came out I remembered this and felt sorry that I had not kept the picture.
Vincent Price used the now outdated Mid-Atlantic or Transatlantic accent. It was a learned accent a lot of actors throughout the 1920s-1940s used, such as Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis. He was also educated in Northeastern US and England so all that combined is why he sounded the way he did.
In my opinion, Vincent Price was the best of the best, standing tall among the greats like Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and even Abbott and Costello (Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) and Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951)😁). His presence, talent, and iconic voice set him apart. As a Canadian, I grew up watching every episode of The Hilarious House of Frankenstein-a show that brought together some of the most memorable figures in horror and comedy. Vincent Price truly left a legacy that continues to inspire. 🎬👻
Vincent Price is a one of a kind actor he's from Missouri he's a cook he had a children's show in canada he was on The Muppets and there was a muppet based on him he narrated the Thriller music video he was on Scooby-Doo he had a museum and he was the idol of Tim Burton and he narrated his short film Vincent when he was at Disney and appear in Edward Scissorhand and was going to be the voice for Sandy Claws in The Nightmare Before Christmas and he was the voice of Professor Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective and don't forget he was in The Simpsons and he appeared in a lot of commercials this man is a horror legend it's been 30 (or 31) years since he's been gone from this planet i'm glad people included horror fans remember this legend 31 years later this is the best Joblo Horror video i ever watch Vincent Price is a legend and thank you for honoring this horror legend Joblo he alongside Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing will be remembered by a lot of horror fans and everybody else including me. Vincent Price Thriller Music Video: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
watching reruns of 13 ghosts of scooby doo on carton network in the 90s was my first introduction to Vincent Price. Vincent Van Ghoul is one of the best scooby doo characters.
VP was a huge 'get' for Frightenstein but that intro scared the hell out of me as a kid. Used to have to change the channel and wait it out until I was sure the music had started.
Ohhh this man deserved a near 2 hour documentary.
Agree fully but I wouldn't have clicked on it because im doom scrolling 😂Didn't he leave us a big goodie bag of posthumous treats anyway im sure he did ?
Indeed
If this has been 2 hours I would have watched the whole thing. Or are you referring to a documentary that already exists?
Dr Goldfoot & the Bikini Machine was a comedy & I love how he played the silly villain completely seriously.
He was like Nicholas Cage in that him just being there could save a terrible movie from obscurity, & he would be the only good thing about that movie.
Oh yeah, he was also the inspiration for Dr. Strange.

What a treasured memory to have!
I am a little jealous of your experience
Mr Price was old school British class!
@@Plasmastorm73_n5evv he was born in missouri and was american all the way, but he was from english ancestry.
@@arcdawg5425 I am hugely jealous.....
What a voice that man had, there is nothing better than curling up to one of his movies.
I agree.
All the real horror greats have Price-less voices. And Price was in the top 3 for sure.....But just listen to Karloff, Lugosi, Rathbone, Rains, Lorre, Thesigher, Laughton, Mason, Cushing and Lee. Those voices could seduct complete nunneries into foregoing their vocation.
I'm Canadian and loved watching The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein as a kid. That show got me interested in Vincent Price's movie history,
"Heroes are remembered, but legends never die" - The Great Bambino
Sooooo true
Mr. Price also had a small, but effective, role in "Laura" (1944). Thanks, JoBlo Horror!
A wonderful homage to an absolute legend. Well done!
I discovered Vincent Price during his Spooky Grandpa phase in the 80s with 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, the Thriller music video, and Edward Scissorhands. His Edgar Allen Poe movies, House on Haunted Hill, The Tingler, and Theater of Blood were my favorites.
Yeah, I have known him as Vincent Van Ghoul, not Vincent Price. I forget about his real name some times :).
13 Ghosts was one of my favorite Scooby Doo cartoons
House of Wax is a great movie and the first movie to be done in 3D
Dr Phibes is a great movie
@@biguy617 Dr. Phibes is a darkly funny movie. For instance, one man is killed by a bust of a unicorn catapulted from outside; to get the body off of the wall the cops have to unscrew the corpse!
I literally had my legal name changed to Vincent because of my love and admiration of this singular talent.
Didn't forget:
Vincent Price debuted as Simon Templar, also known as "The Saint", in the radio detective drama The Saint on July 9, 1947
Yes indeed he did.
I grew up on Price's movies. He was one of the true gentleman horror icons, as I like to refer to them. He is sorely missed.
When I was a very wee girl, my parents would take me along to the all-night creature features at the local drive-in. It was usually a bunch of older movies (even for the mid-70s). So, I grew up with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. It was a wonderful early intro to horror. 🥰 Price’s voice is as soothing as a lullaby.
Gentlemen all three, along with Boris Karloff
My late sister talked about meeting Mr. Price at a hotel where she was doing night audit. I don't remember the reason he was in town (may have been the new Art Gallery), but he stayed at the hotel. She recognized him (of course she did) and he sat and talked with her for about an hour. All three of us were big fans of his, each with a different favorite. The Raven is still my favorite. She said he was so debonaire and smart, could talk history as well as art and cooking. We both cried when we heard he passed away. Can you imagine the horror reunion in Heaven when he got there?
I also loved him as a Host of Mystery on PBS.
Thank-you for reminding folks of this! Wasn't he fabulous? The spine tingling answer to Alistair Cook! 💐

To me he was a real gem and I am so glad as a fan that he left behind such a wonderful body of work to enjoy.
VP was a serious dramatic actor before specializing in horror film. He was a gem on many levels. Acting, cooking, art lover, and as a father.
"Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whomsoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell"
''The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller''
Vincent Price's speaking part in Michael Jackson's Thriller
Yesss
I was severely depressed about 10 years ago and due to a gunshot wound ( I'm a repo agent) I was stuck at home and the last man on earth and I started finding all of his films and I fell in love with his hilarious characters
I think Frederick Loren in "House On Haunted Hill" was the perfect role for Price because he got to be urbane and dryly humorous, yet menacing and even oddly sympathetic.
I LOVED House of Frightenstein and always got up early Saturday mornings to watch it. It was a big part of this Canadian schoolkid's life, and I'm so glad to hear it's available on Tubi. Time to binge watch my favorite Professor and Librarian.
Mr. Price was my favorite actor. His skill, talent and voice were beyond compare and he could charm or scare the bejesus out of you, all in the same scene.

Vincent was the absolute best!! He is my horror idol, thank you for this great video
What man the skill, talent and all-round good guy Vincent has and will be forever missed RIP Vincent Price
He also had a nick-name in Hollywood, he was called "The Gentleman of Hollywood", because IRI he was always a gentleman.
I’m quite surprised that you overlooked one of his last, best and most touching roles, the wonderful “The Whales of August”, from 1987. As a kid I grew up with his Edgar Allen Poe films, one featuring a young, just starting out Jack Nicholson (also not mentioned in your commentary), and never missed the chance to watch him acting, even in films which didn’t deserve his brilliance.

My favorite thing he ever did was his poem in Michael Jackson's Thriller. Idk who wrote that poem but his delivery of it is fantastic.
Loved him. I was born in 1964, so I grew up watching his movies on TV in the 70's. So talented, and a man of class and kindness.

I've adored him since childhood. God bless always. Thank you

I can't imagine what it would be like to work with all those fine gentlemen mentioned in this podcast
Vincent Price hosted Mystery! on PBS when I was a kid and I was soo very happy to find the opening for the show on UA-cam!!! Rest in Peace, Mr. Price
Knowing that he and Dame Diana Rigg worked together on multiple films, I wonder if he's the reason she took over hosting duties after he got too sick to continue.
He gave so many so much. And what a connoisseur!
I wish this was an hour long! 😍
Mr. Price did a fantastic job in Norman Corwin's radio play, "The Undecided Molecule", as a prosecutor who demands a variety of grisly punishments for said molecule's refusal to become part of the world.
Fun Facts: One of Vincent Price's early rolls was Joseph Smith in the 1940 film 🎞 Brigham Young. He also played the Master Builder in The Ten Commandments (1956)
The Ten Commandments is such a leaden movie. It's not until he's onscreen does the movie breathe!
Price had the classical Mid-Atlantic accent the actors strove to aquire back in the days of old Hollywood. This type of accent was considered a necessity for actors from both sides of the pond. Examples of it include Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, who came from opposites sides of the Atlantic, but shared a common accent.
I loved old horror movies, an Vincent Price was the best. I love his voice, whether is be villainous, creepy, suave, or just plain fun !
Fun thing about birthdays. I share the same birthday day May 27th with Vincent Price and Christopher Lee.
Peter Cushing had his birthday on May 26th! I love that the three biggest horror icons also shared birthdays and were best friends. So much so that one year, Lee and Cushing had a joint birthday party at Madame Tussauds Chamber of Horrors.
I’m a Missouri boy myself. So that’s cool to find out that Vincent Price was born and raised in Missouri.
Same here.
Vincent Price is such a talented actor that made so many great movies, including my top 3 favorite horror movies! Both Phibes films and Theater of Blood! His audio series "The Price of Fear" are one of my favorite audio drama series!
This was really fascinating. Its obviously told with the level of passion & respect only a "true" fan can tell.
Im Canadian and got my first views of Price in the House of Frightenstein, Laura and Leave Her to Heaven on the weekday movie channels....I thought the TV show so silly but it also introduced me to the Horror Genre and the Horror stock characters of the Werewolf and Mad Doctor etc. But curiously, you omitted that Vincent was Bi but married to Broadway player Edith Barrett of I Walked with a Zombie (43) fame.

He was in The Song of Bernadette as a bad guy too.
There will never be another like him. A Prince of the horror genre.
He is truly the kind of actor we need today because he was sincere in all he did.
Well done video. So much better than the previous narrator. Only thing missing was Vincent’s appearance on the Brady Bunch!
"The Crowned Prince of Horror" had a magnificently long and successful career in film, taking even the worst or silliest of scripts and making it enjoyable by approaching the worst script with the same dedication he approached the best.
He was a gourmet Chef, and had published numerous cook books AND was an avid collector, and devoted promoter of modern art, having lectured on the subject at numerous universities and art schools.

Oh my God! The hilarious house of Frightenstein is an absolute gem. I didn’t even know it existed until I stumbled across it on Tubi a few years ago. I try to watch at least one episode every single day. It’s amazing. I really feel like Rob Zombie probably watched that show a lot when he was young lol. It’s so good and it’s an absolute must see. I wish there were still shows like this nowadays for children.
He was an excellent actor with a great theatrical voice.
He lived a full life and passed away peacefully.
Horror roles aside two of my favs are His Kind of Woman and the Baron of Arizona. What a legend!
We had a VHS in the 80's, Tales of Horror it was called (or something like that). It was clips of classic horror movies that V. Price intoduced and commented on... "They're coming to get you Barbara...." My siblings and I got a kick out of it, as did mom. It was our first introduciton to the man.
I got to know him through Edward Scissorhands and continue to follow all his films ever since.
My favorite Vincent Price movies are The Raven and The Abominable Dr. Phibes..
Wonderful tribute to such a talented, treasure of a man. He just seemed so nice on the talk shows or interviews. ( I still have nightmares from the Dr. Phibes movies though!). Thank you for the video.❤
Vincent Price was such a class act of a human being. I'll never forget being scared to death of him when I first saw "House of Wax" when I was seven. I immediately watched anything with him in it. I later found out what a kind man he was in life, as well as his love of art. When he passed away back in the early 90s, I remember genuinely feeling as though we all lost a true artist and downright decent human being. Think I'll pop on "House of Wax" tonight.
I grew up on Hilarious House of Frightenstein
He was the kind gentleman trying to pursue one of the sisters in The Whales of August. He did two versions of The House of Seven Gables. The first one was a direct adaptation and the second one, horror based on.

One of my favorite actor in general, but perfect in horror.
This is a very cool video, Vincent price is one of my favorites .
Excellent documentary! I love Vicente Price! Very well done! Thank You for your time and hard work. 💞

Honest Vincent Price Story from my life: When I was a kid we had to learn to write letters in elementary school. One letter had to be written to a "celebrity' requesting them to reply somehow. I loved Jerry Lewis back then (do not judge me...he was funny to a kid in elementary school). So, I wrote a letter to Mr. Lewis asking for an autographed picture. I figured I would get something great for "show and tell" at least once a year with an autographed picture of Jerry Lewis.
A couple of weeks go by and suddenly I got a letter from a Hollywood address. I ripped open the letter, excited to find my own personalized autographed picture of my comic hero. But what I found was an autographed picture of some stranger...a man I had no idea who it was. I was so heartbroken. I took the picture to my Mom and Dad asking telling them how disappointed I was. Dad told me, "Well, that's Vincent Price. He's a very famous horror actor." Yes, I received an autographed picture of the famous scary actor.
I was so disappointed that I slowly unceremoniously dropped the photograph into the trash in my bedroom. Yes...I threw away an autographed photo of one of the worlds great horror actors, not knowing or caring who he was. Years later when "Thriller" came out I remembered this and felt sorry that I had not kept the picture.
I loved him. He was excellent in all the movies he was in. ❤❤❤❤
And if you're ever at Disneyland Paris, be sure to stop by Phantom Manor; the narrator is none other than Vincent!
YesYesYes!!
Definate Horror Flick LEGEND!!!
The Monster Club! What a brilliant film. An absolute classic.
Vincent, the legend and the voice 🙌
Nice presentation, thank you!
What a beautiful beautiful man! God I wanna cry! I miss being a kid so much! I’ll always remember you Vincent!!
He just seemed like a lovely man.
Vincent Price used the now outdated Mid-Atlantic or Transatlantic accent. It was a learned accent a lot of actors throughout the 1920s-1940s used, such as Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis. He was also educated in Northeastern US and England so all that combined is why he sounded the way he did.
Don’t forget some of the small roles he did in Rod Serlings Night Gallery. “Class of 1999” and more
“Like Vincent Price I’m nice I’ll bake and cook you twice”👨🏽⚕️
Awesome piece! Thank you
Loved how he was featured in Michael Jacksons music video thriller
Legend
SOOOO true. He will be missed. 🙏🙏
In my opinion, Vincent Price was the best of the best, standing tall among the greats like Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and even Abbott and Costello (Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) and Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951)😁). His presence, talent, and iconic voice set him apart. As a Canadian, I grew up watching every episode of The Hilarious House of Frankenstein-a show that brought together some of the most memorable figures in horror and comedy. Vincent Price truly left a legacy that continues to inspire. 🎬👻
Vincent Price did not 'rap" it was a narration
Thank you so much!
Me. Price is by far my favorite person! Just an amazing man in every way!
While I've always loved his horror movies, films like Tower of London, Dragonwyck, and especially Laura, wouldn't be the same without him!

Vincent Price Thriller Music Video: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
watching reruns of 13 ghosts of scooby doo on carton network in the 90s was my first introduction to Vincent Price. Vincent Van Ghoul is one of the best scooby doo characters.
Quiet, Dodi. Great video!
Thank you!
Rest in peace to the true legend you was my childrenhood in scooby doo 😢😢😢
I had such a crush on Vincent Price when I was young! And the more I learn about him, the more it seems justified! ❤🌹
Would have been so awesome to see Price star in a Twilight Zone episode!
VP was a huge 'get' for Frightenstein but that intro scared the hell out of me as a kid. Used to have to change the channel and wait it out until I was sure the music had started.
Back in VHS days I would watch him in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Ruddigore" every Halloween. Wonderful!
He was funny in the Bionic Woman episode, "Black Magic" in 1976.
RIP Vincent Price, he was a great actor and his work will be immortalized
I love Vincent price
