At some point in his life Vincent Price told someone the following story: He and Peter Lorre were at Bela Lugosi's funeral. Bela was laid out in his iconic Dracula costume with Lorre and Price looking down at the body and saying their final farewells. Lorre leans over to Price and whispers, "Do you think maybe we ought to drive a stake through his heart just to be sure"?
@@oscarwilde5473 HeHeHe .. I'm not that familiar with Michael, to be honest, so thanks for this extra info. I'll try to find a few other video interviews for comparison.
A true legend who can be so friendly, but yet so frightening. That voice is pure gold and magnificent actor. I love going back and watching classic that alot of people younger than me have never seen. I was poor in the early 80s and remember the classics were late night frights.
Forget about actors like Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing - real gentleman that oozed class and dignity. Now is all about buff men-children filled with tattoos.
How right you are! Actors such as Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing we won't see again! Now it's just these crummy Slasher Movies that they try to pass off as Horror Movies!
He is just amazing I think he could have done anything so intelligent but just so happy he gave a bit of his self to the public he is so entertaining talking and the movies would not be what they are without him he is an amazing man
Being knowledgeable about art, he asked to see his co-star, Valli Kemp's paintings. He was so impressed that he paid for and arranged a gallery viewing of her work. As a result she was able to give up acting and pursue her dream of making a living from her art.
I met this lovely, lovely man when he was touring in the one man show, "Diversions and Delilights" portraying Oscar Wilde. He was a true gentleman. So kind.
I grew up in St Louis, Missouri, Vincent’s hometown. His brother was a portrait photographer. Vincent gave permission to use his name. Many of us had our school pictures done at Vincent Price Studios.
@mbrennan459 I've always been intrigued by Vincent Price's accent, because he sounded absolutely nothing like the way that people talk who come from St. Louis, Missouri. I always thought that Mr. Price's accent sounded vaguely like a New England accent.
@@shirleypena4133yes - he has somewhat of the Transatlantic accent or a New Englander accent. The way he speaks is absolutely delightful and delicious 😊
When he’s relaxed he has a more Midwestern accent but I think his theatre training in elocution and him playing so many English and European characters explains the rest of his accent that makes him hard to place phonetically.
Vincent Price was one of the great old school professionals. So clever, funny, and talented. Along with Lee and Cushing, we'll never see his like again.
I'm old enough to remember Vincent Price as a celebrity on Hollywood Squares. You might not believe it, but he was always one of the funniest on the panel. I also got to see him in a one-man show about Oscar Wilde. He was perfect.
Of all the famous people I wish I could have met, Vincent Price's name is on the top of that list...His gothic maccabre movies are a huge part of my childhood and implanted my fascination with fantasy/speculative fiction literature. If you look at his eyes and how they scan and study and are clear as ice, you can discern that Vincent is an old soul. From what I have heard from those who have met him, that he was a wonderfully cheerful, extremely intelligent on may subjects and a humble man who would converse with anyone .
My mother attended a gourmet cooking lecture he presented as a guest at her college back in the Sixties. She described him as a charming gentleman, with nothing sinister or scary about him.
My mom knew him back in the 50s when we lived in California. He was a wonderfully funny man. A prankster Supreme. He also was very interested in supporting new artists. Have such wonderful memories.
He was such a unique person that his image is still recognized all these years later. And his movies are just iconic. Really wished he could have had a few more years.
Vincent Price was not only an actor without equal, he was quite the bon vivant, and could match wits with ANYONE. He was always a joy to see and hear on a talk show. I remember seeing him on the "Dinah!" show back in the 70s where Alice Cooper gave Vincent a Gold Record award for his recitation about spiders at the end of "Devil's Food", introducing "Black Widow".
He was as urbane and eloquent as David Niven, with the quick, stinging wit of Paul Lynde. I know he was married, but...ehh, nevermind. Doesn't matter anyhow.
I too was very fortunate to get Vincent Price's autograph about a year before he passed, and felt fortunate to get it, a classic 8x10 b/w head shot and personalized with his autograph. I framed it and it has been on my wall for all to admire for all these years. Thank you Vincent Price for being a class act and a few of the real gentlemen left of his generation. RIP sir.
@@markzuelch7452 you’re right on all counts! I actually gave my autograph to my daughter. She has it framed and hanging on her wall. I’m an old lady but she grew up with Thriller and Edward Scissorshand. Cherish that autograph!✍️
There are very few famous people of the past hundred years I would like to meet, But Vincent Price always seemed like a really nice guy who could enthrall a person with endless stories. Never heard anything bad about the guy
Mr Price was a gentleman I always had on my “celebrity dinner party” wishlist. He would have been wonderful to talk to, as well as a gourmand in his own right. 😍🤩
When my mother was in college in the Sixties, she attended a guest lecture by Price where he discussed gourmet cooking. She remembers him as the consummate gentleman, with nothing at all scary or sinister about him.
I loved watching him when I was growing up. I remember when Thriller came out and was so happy to hear Vincent's part. He was a wonderful performer with versatility, grace, humor, and wit.
When he made sure to note that Michael Jackson was "dressed" in this picture, I laughed so hard, I was not expecting that at all. Vincent Price was hilarious and amazing man, what a special interview to have found. I'm so grateful for youtube.
I had the pleasure of meeting and sitting with Vincent Price for about an hour. some forty years ago. The man was as charming, witty, and humble as he was talented. Among my most treasured memories.
Dr Phibes is my favorite, too! Mr Price's best performance, IMO! The way he made his throat work like a man speaking without moving his lips is absolutely brilliant!!! 👏👏👏👏
@@tomstanziola1982 I love the bit where he tested the sprouts for quality when he was making the goo for the nurse 😆. His face during that bit was fantastic, you could see his humour shining through.
Such a darling man. My sister met him when he came through Amarillo and stayed at the hotel she was clerking at. She said he was a wonderful, polite man. I really with I had been there, he's been a favorite of mine (and hers) since we were young.
Do not look into what celebrities of yesteryear used to get up to....the modern snowflakes would have their hair turn white.... They're entertaining, on camera. Off camera, they are people. Normal, a different time, kind of people. Of course, much of it is pretty innocuous when you can seek to understand what is trying to be conveyed without crowbarring assumption and malice into it, instead of just listening for something to trigger on......but we all know how them youngins be......
In the 1970s I worked at a Milwaukee TV station who presented an hour long program called, "Dialing For Dollars" and had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with VP. After spending hours upon hours of sitting in a movie theatre thrilling to fright films like "House on Haunted Hill" in the 50s and then the Poe recreations by Roger Corman in the 60s, shaking this man's hand was a big thrill I'll never forget.
I've seen "The House on Haunted Hill" several times starting when I was a kid and it was iconic! Vincent Price was great in it and the actress who played his wife was so bad and so beautuful!
We had Dialing for Dollars in Fort Worth as well, was it syndicated? Seemed like it was a local show that came in in the afternoon. I saw House of Wax on it among other classic movies.
@@busterbluesun As far as I know, the concept was wide spread but I don't believe we paid anything for syndication rights. Being close to Chicago, there were a lot of show biz folks appearing there that did junkets to Milwaukee to promote their efforts. Plus Milwaukee had a fair share of theatrical happenings that would bring stars to the show. As an example, twice within a 3 month span, Leonard Nimoy was on our show and I got to spend a half hour with him before the show talking about Star Trek and everything else.
Price named it as one of his favorites because he always wanted to do more classical Shakespeare while at the same time poking fun at Shakespearean actors who maybe took theater a bit too seriously.
Always wanted to meet him. I had a friend who met him near the end of his life. He said he was very nice, but looked and sounded very tired. It's great to see him here in top form.
My mother saw him lecture on gourmet cooking as a guest at her college back in the Sixties. She said there was nothing scary or sinister about him, that he was fully a gracious, polished gentleman.
This man was an absolute treasure. I want to be that scathingly witty, hilarious and mischievous at that age. This was 40 years ago and it's still just as hilarious an interview today.
One of the greatest actors of all time. Uniquely distinguishable from all others. Completely inimitable. From the 30's to the 90's he starred in some of the best horror and drama movies of the Golden Age of Cinema and beyond.
This was back when interviews were interesting and not wholly to sell a stars product. I remember loving watching them for stars like Vincent Price. Good times ❤
Could any of the "stars" of today do ten minutes like this??? Witty, erudite, charming, no ego at all, no agenda at all, no film/series/book to pitch, just a respect for his interviewer and his audience, and an effortless ten off-the-cuff minutes of laughter and charm. Those people are all gone. All we get now is ego, ego, ego, agenda, agenda.....
I read an article many years ago that said Vincent Price really didn't care so much about his acting career, that it was just the means to support his expensive taste in art. The acclaim he achieved through acting was a bonus. I loved his movies and his sense of humor. One of those people I'd have liked to have crossed paths with.
He also had a foundation or program that was for getting poor kids in Los Angeles interested in art (not so much the making of it, but the appreciation of it, but it may have inspired some to create). I think the focus was on paintings, and he would lead conversations around it. Good man.
My family and I met him in Mexico, at a small little dinner with a parrot on a perch, and he was such a nice man! Very friendly and happy to sit with us and visit as if we were all old friends.
His dry sense of humor was epic. He still is my go to movies to watch on Halloween If I didn't know that he was from St. Lewis, you would think he was British.
@nans969 He had the classic Transatlantic accent that many actors of his era had. They were trained in the accent because the studios thought it was the best for their audiences to hear an accent that wasn't recognizably regional
The man did a bit part in a (obscure) 1970s Cdn TV Show.(Hilarious House of Frightenstien) He was cast as the narrator and filmed all his parts (for the entire season) in 2 days. The first was a 10+ hour shoot, and at one point there was a delay. the producer noticed he wasn't there and asked where he was. Given the hour, he wasn't surprised to be told he had left for his motel. except that wasn't what occurred. as instead he had left to get refreshments for the crew, and showed up a short while after with such. enabling them to finish for the day.
What a magnificent, delightful, intelligent, elegant, eloquent (and funny!) man. He and Peter Cushing are my absolute darling favorites in the world. It is weird that I have watched so many movies and interviews of Vincent before, but I guess, for some reason, I never noticed just how tall he is! Michael didn't know what to make of Mr. Price, I guess, or perhaps he wasn't sure that someone like him would have such a naughty and intelligent wit. I could listen to that voice all day, and he just seems like such a lovely, lovely man. I would have just wanted to hug him a million times. LOL Last Man on Earth is my fave of his, though there are way too many to choose from. RIP, gentleman Vincent. You were an international treasure.
The song that he impersonate a teacher on Alice Coopers is "The Black Widow"he made a presentation of the spiders..What a voice!ACTOR GENTLEMAN WISEMAN 💯🎭
What a charming man. Amazing sense of humor and sharp as a tack. Love this interview. It’s sad that all the legends of my childhood are just about gone now. The young kids today have no idea what they missed.
Wonder what it was about British actors of that era, They are all apart from the odd one or two, Charming and eloquent men with impeccable manners and speaking voices, and the tales they can tell are like mini movies in themselves! Vincent Price is up there with the best of them, like Peter Cushing Christopher Lee, David Niven Peter Ustinov, Sir John Guilgud etc etc the list is almost endless! Their charm and wit often come to the surface on shows like these with a host who knows how to lead the conversation then let the guest take centre stage!!!
Every report I've encountered from those who met Price describe him as a charming gentleman. This was my mother's impression when she attended a guest lecture he gave on gourmet cooking at her college in the Sixties. She said there was nothing sinister or scary about him.
At some point in his life Vincent Price told someone the following story: He and Peter Lorre were at Bela Lugosi's funeral.

I can really see that happening, sounds like something Lorre would say!
Funerals are not sad events. They are for the living.
"Some point"
...the day of the funeral?
@@thenifell LOL!
What an amazing personality. This man was 73 years old when this was recorded.
Mr Price's sense of humor was so wicked!!
Intelligence💯!
It's a gold standard! Wit, class, darkness.... so good... lol

Vincent Price was a gem. Gracious, talented with a great sense of humor. An old world gentleman who never took himself too seriously. Bravo.
What a charmingly accurate description.

Vincent was always my favorite of the horror actors. He was a very funny man and brought a level of humor to most of his horror films.

To think that the Errol Flynn - Bette Davis movie he refers to was from the 1930’s. He had an amazing career and what a wonderful man.
The actors of the golden age had it all, talent, charisma and brilliant raconteurs. Sadly very few like them nowadays.
He's charming, he's funny, Vincent Price truly is a cinematic treasure!
‘It’s wonderful how you keep up!’ Hahaha, he may have just arrived yesterday but he knew our kind of humour!
he said "it's marvelous how you keep up with things"
He also played the role of The Saint on the radio show. What a great actor and a gentleman.
What a sweet man and such a character! He could have been a comedian. But then again we needed him as the man of our nightmares! ❤
I saw Vincent perform in Washington D.C. in a one-man play portraying Oscar Wilde, reflecting on his life. That was 1978 lol.... it was Great !
I bet! He was a classical performer on stage as well on film. Well loved actor. His voice is unmistakable. RIP VP.😊
Such a witty and personable person.
My family and I met him in Mexico, at a small little dinner with a parrot on a perch, and he was such a nice man! Very friendly and happy to sit with us and visit as if we were all old friends.
His dry sense of humor was epic. He still is my go to movies to watch on Halloween If I didn't know that he was from St. Lewis, you would think he was British.
St. Louis, Missouri
He put that accent on.
@nans969 He had the classic Transatlantic accent that many actors of his era had. They were trained in the accent because the studios thought it was the best for their audiences to hear an accent that wasn't recognizably regional
And his voice is heard by millions every year at Halloween cos Thriller. :D
I love Vincent and miss him so much. Great showman. I didn't know he was so funny.
having met this man at a young age , i was star struck and he ripped me off playing checkers , lol such a great man , i miss our conversations
What wonderful memories to cherish. How many among us can say we played checkers with a movie star?
The man did a bit part in a (obscure) 1970s Cdn TV Show.(Hilarious House of Frightenstien) He was cast as the narrator and filmed all his parts (for the entire season) in 2 days. The first was a 10+ hour shoot, and at one point there was a delay. the producer noticed he wasn't there and asked where he was. Given the hour, he wasn't surprised to be told he had left for his motel. except that wasn't what occurred. as instead he had left to get refreshments for the crew, and showed up a short while after with such. enabling them to finish for the day.
I simply adore Vincent Price, my all time favorite actor!!!! Loved him since I was a little girl, God bless him!!! 🙏🥰❤️☺️
he's such a delightful comic!! he was one of the great, they don't have actors of his caliber now
"Pray speak quietly, every sound you make is exquisite agony to me."
My fav Vincent Price line. reading.
What a magnificent, delightful, intelligent, elegant, eloquent (and funny!) man. He and Peter Cushing are my absolute darling favorites in the world. It is weird that I have watched so many movies and interviews of Vincent before, but I guess, for some reason, I never noticed just how tall he is! Michael didn't know what to make of Mr. Price, I guess, or perhaps he wasn't sure that someone like him would have such a naughty and intelligent wit. I could listen to that voice all day, and he just seems like such a lovely, lovely man. I would have just wanted to hug him a million times. LOL Last Man on Earth is my fave of his, though there are way too many to choose from. RIP, gentleman Vincent. You were an international treasure.
Vincent Price was a Treasure.
He's been buried alive 3 times!!! LOL!! Just kidding!!
What a wonderful, gentle, charismatic mam Vincent Price was. No one today can match him.
What an icon! Consummate entertainer and a charming wit!
Oh my God one of the brightest and most charming men ever to be in a movie rest in peace Vincent one-of-a-kind. Truly
An amazing man ! As a child he scared me senseless in his horror movies ! He was and still is unmistakable.
I love Vincent, great HD quality at last.❤😊
The song that he impersonate a teacher on Alice Coopers is "The Black Widow"he made a presentation of the spiders..What a voice!ACTOR GENTLEMAN WISEMAN 💯🎭
What a charming man. Amazing sense of humor and sharp as a tack. Love this interview. It’s sad that all the legends of my childhood are just about gone now. The young kids today have no idea what they missed.
I'm 70, and have always loved him. First movie I saw him in was Son of Sindbad.
Oh my gosh! When he's just being conversational, Vincent Price was hilarious!
His dead pan humour. I am in awe of him. And I liked him before.
Wonder what it was about British actors of that era, They are all apart from the odd one or two, Charming and eloquent men with impeccable manners and speaking voices, and the tales they can tell are like mini movies in themselves! Vincent Price is up there with the best of them, like Peter Cushing Christopher Lee, David Niven Peter Ustinov, Sir John Guilgud etc etc the list is almost endless! Their charm and wit often come to the surface on shows like these with a host who knows how to lead the conversation then let the guest take centre stage!!!
He exudes charm like very few people.
It's clear the host was not expecting a personality this lively or with such good humor.
Vincent Price was just such a cool person! I grew up in the 1960's and to this day, I still watch his filmsl
I loved Vincent Price he was the true Master of Suspense I also found Michael the Host quite Handsome.
Vincent Price actually played a vampire in The Monster Club in 1981, only 3 years before this interview.
My God what a beautiful voice the man had.
Vincent Price was one of the greatest actors that ever put on television and loved hearing his voice such a legend and missed always
A great character, one of my favourite actors.
Vincent is my favorite actor ever. This was funny and charming and i wish I could have met him.
Every report I've encountered from those who met Price describe him as a charming gentleman. This was my mother's impression when she attended a guest lecture he gave on gourmet cooking at her college in the Sixties. She said there was nothing sinister or scary about him.
