I met Vincent Price when I was 12 around 1969 at the local Sears store. He was opening an art show. I followed him around all night. He was extremely nice to me. I asked him to sign about 10 cards that they gave out at this show. He asked if I was going to sell them. I said no, I was going to give them to my friends. He said “ in that case I will sign all you want”! He was super nice to this star struck little kid!
Cool
Would love to have one
Wow, such a great memory...you should be proud because he was both a great person and a great actor. Love, love Vincent may he R.I.P.
That's an amazing story and a treasure to have experienced. It's always nice to have confirmation that your heros are just as wonderful as you believe them to be. He seemed like such a kind hearted, humble man ---- that only amplifies his genuine talent.
Lucky
Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, pure class!
My sons favs. From Star Wars & Thriller. Also had him watch Laura for Price & Mrs. Danvers 👻
I agree, they were the top 3 during my childhood and adult life😁👍
And always will be. not like the rubbish they have today.
You forgot Boris Karloff
@@ajsmith5295 That’s right! From the Grinch! Also Lon Chaney Jr. the Werewolf ⭐️
The lady buried next to Vincent Price mother is his grandmother, Harriet. Vincent's mother was a Cobb. Thank you for sharing a little bit of his life with us. Happy Halloween 🎃🧡
I met Vincent Price once when he was on a lecture tour, right after he did the Thriller video. I was twelve years old.
After the lecture, me and my dad waited around the backstage door, next to his limo, until he eventually came out. There were a few other people who were waiting there with us. He was very tall and regal looking and had on a big, black coat (he looked like he’d just stepped out of one of his films). He walked up to me first and we spoke for a moment. What a gracious, remarkable gentleman he was. A legend…there’s just no one around like that anymore.
What a great experience!!!! Very lucky to have met him! ♥ I was far too young [He passed when I was in the 3rd grade.] Thank you for sharing your experience.
The clip you showed in the beginning was absolutely adorable Price and Karloff singing. Thank you so much for that. In fact, thank you for everything! Love from Minneapolis edit: You could not have picked a better day to film for Price, Dark and gloomy. It worked out in your favor!
Hello from a fellow Minnesotan...I'm from Anoka and recently emailed grimmlife about Anoka being the Halloween Capital of the World after seeing their video about the town in Kansas being the birthplace of Halloween celebrations...I soo think they should come to Anoka at Halloween or anytime in the fall to do a video...back me up on this???
@@yikezo i thought the same thing when i saw that video!
Grimlifecolllrctive rules love everything
I know right ! Benny Hill i think ... that was cool
I agree 2 horror icons with a comedy icon ...pure classic
Vincent Price was amazing. His voice was unmistakable and he could give you the creeps with a glare. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Halloween!
I actually MET Vincent in the mid-80's at a "Cousin's Subs" Commercial shoot in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
I was and always WILL BE a HUGE Fan! I didn't just get to meet him and shake his hand... he invited me to sit down and talk and we talked about his movies and cooking and art and I asked him to sign my copy of his cook book "Cooking Price-Wise". He was just... BEYOND COOL! I got the chance to tell him that One of my ALL TIME FAV Movies of his is and always will be, "The Last Man on Earth" which was the ORIGINAL "Zombie/Living Dead" movie that begat ALL of the OTHERS to come after!
He Gave us SO MUCH!
The night he passed... I actually had a dream about him that I was sitting and talking to him. I didn't know he had passed until that VERY Moring, when I was at my job at the time... and on the radio they announced that he had passed!
And I KNEW why I had that dream about him! His movies and characters will ALWAYS be an inspiration to me!
We worship Vincent Price in our house. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
Vincent was my first introduction to horror along with Edward Gorey.
😊
The first time I saw him it was in The Fall or the House of Usher.
We worship Jesus Christ at ours. But I totally get it. It’s important to believe in something bigger than yourself.
have you seen the Haunted Palace ?
Vincent Price once said "A man who limits his interests limits his life."
So I say stay unlimitedly interesting.
It wouldn’t be a Vincent price day without the rainy dark weather 😁👏🏻👏🏻
I grew up with him, Bela Lugosi, & Boris Karloff. Vincent Price was my favorite! He's who got me into being a spooky person who loves scary spooky movies, love for gothic, and everything Halloween. Thank you for this!!!! Great video . Love you guys!
He was great in (The House on Haunted Hill) That scared the heck out of me.
I have always adored Vincent Price!! 🖤 Thank you for this great tribute video!! Btw, thanks to the awesome musician playing away in the background. Love it!
The house of WAX, The Last man on earth, Dr. Gold foot, Egg head and Bingbing iron tail. Thank you Vincent for your amazing Art work, also being one of the Original Classic Horror Actors in the business and for being on the Muppet Show when I was a child. Love & much respect Rip good Sri ❤🌹
Ps he was also the narrator in Michael Jackson's Thriller
Egghead! Love the Batman villains
Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand,🧟♂️💀, rest in peace vincent🌹
The incredible Dr phibes absolutely brilliant
The abominable Dr phibes.
My Mom and Dad met Vincent Price in London back in the early 70s, he was putting his wife into a taxi.
He signed an old opera ticket for them, Mom said he was very kind, and gracious.
Mom also met Chrstopher Lee a few times at fan conventions in the 70s, he signed the novel Dracula for her, The Man With The Golden Gun, and numerous photographs.
Old school actors were always happy to meet their fans back then.
Awesome...I'm 60 now and Vincents films still scare me... 💙💙💙
Love love love Vincent Price! I was the weird little girl that would sit in front if the tv on Saturday afternoon watching old VP. films! His birthday was 2 days before mine. I remember exactly where I was when I found out he passed away.😢 Thanks guys, Happy Halloween!🎃🕷💀🕸🌚👻🌹
Yes, me too (on both counts of being weird/remembering where I was)! When I heard he died, I went to my local library and asked if they'd give me the New York Times (which contained his obituary). And they did! Back then, libraries would do that once the paper was out of date. I did the same thing with Peter Cushing.
Your comment really bubbled a lot of good memories to the surface. Cheers.
I used to go to the cemetery down the street from my high school. It is the most historic in Canada and I did my homework there with a friend because it was pretty and quiet. I have chosen that cemetery for my final resting place and have prepaid so I am certain I will be there. Love this channel.
@@csillafel8226 I just received your comment as I started watching House on Haunted Hill! LOL 😂 Vincent must be here with us, how cool is that!?👍💜😁
The thought of a Vincent Price Candy Factory sparks great joy in me to know.
I loved when he was on the Muppet Show.
You've convinced me to wear my Vincent Price t-shirt and pop in one of his movies tonight! I've loved this man since I was a kid. My dad used to rent old monster movies for me around Halloween (The classics were Ok. Once we got to the bloodier stuff, they didn't take that so well), and "The Fly" was one of my favorites. "Masque Of The Red Death" is my favorite.
"The Last Man On Earth" is my Vincent Price favorite movie.
@@bkkorner yes loved all his movies but that was special
@@wildbill7081 Yep
He's my favorite I even have his portrait tattooed on my arm. Best voice and laugh ever
I was terrified of Vincent Price as a child, now as an adult I love all of Vincent Prices works. Thanks for this very informative video on a true legend!
Oh wow! Vincent Price absolutely terrified me as a little kid. Imagine my horror as he appeared in the middle of The Brady Bunch Hawaii specials rerun. 😳 lol 🖤
Most Vincent Price fans are unaware of one of his best roles in the movie:The Song of Bernadette.
Awesome.....Vincent Price was a national treasure.
Excellent video. I live 40 minutes from Lavenham, a gorgeous English village where many scenes from Vincent Price’s Witchfinder General was filmed. Lookup Kentwell Hall also, just down the road from there where they filmed more scenes including the drowning of the witches. If you ever visited England, a trip here is well recommended.
I absolutely love Vincent Price! Thanks so much for the walk through history! Also your intro music is awesome!
Boris and Vincent don’t get any bigger than those 2
Icons to the industry
Vincent Price was the man, always love his acting and his cool voice. Great video. He will always be a legend. Hope that guy is still doing his thing in the afterlife.
You wondered if the family in the Price house were aware of its legacy. They were. In the mid 90s, I went to hear his daughter speak at a bookstore just a few miles west of the house. She said she visited the house for the first time in her life earlier that day. She knocked on the door and introduced herself. The owners welcomed her in and gave her a tour. I no longer live in St. Louis. Your video brought back some great memories. Thank you.
His voice was so distinctive and his movies are classic.
I never knew about his dad being a candy maker. That's so cool! Love ur videos so much. And RIP the Legend, Vincent Price.
Also the trumpet player u found was phenomenal! He slayed the vibes
Vincent Price's, The Last Man on Earth is one of my favorite horror movies. Based on the 1954 novel, "I am Legend," by Richard Matheson. This was the movie/novel that inspired all future zombie films like Night Off the Living Dead. A must watch -- great performance.
YES!!!!! THAT MOVIE WAS AWSOME!
Geez, What a sweet guy. Have to say, is there anything more perfect than Vincent Price talking and laughing in Thriller? Genius. Good to see you two. 💝
Vincent Price was a horror titan. One sentence uttered with those silky dulcet but spooky tones would render anyone's hair white with terror or pants brown with fear.
Bit of trivia both He came over to Britain, England to be exact, to star in the 1980 cult classic Monster Club with friend John Caradine. And during a break from filming travelled to Wales to research his Welsh family clan Price who emigrated to America the 1700s.
Also, his 2nd wife Eleanor Mary Grant was Welsh being born in the County of Pembrokeshire, West Wales. And their daughter Victoria in 2006 came back to Wales to attend a horror convention organised, and she too in her spare time off travelled to the National Library of Wales at Aberystwyth to continue researching on behalf of her late father & family. 😎 🏴 🇺🇸 🦇👻
I went to listen to him speak at Oklahoma State University in the early 80's. He was very entertaining. He ended with his part of the Thriller video.
Vincent price was the god of movies.. he'll be missed!!! RIP vincent
I'm the GM at what was once the national candy factory, we have a ton of things still left in the building that will remind you of times passed . The front entrance, the broilers , lots of little tid bits . And customers that come in daily to tell their stories and keep the memories a live . I walk the halls 6 days a week . The legacy will live on forever .
Vincent Price changed everything. Thanks for sharing his amazing history.
his movies were so creepy! but! he was a great actor and collector! but! his voice on Michael Jackson's thriller was legend!
He also did segments in the early 70s for a Canadian TV series called The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I suggest Googling it.
Great Canadian TV! 🇨🇦
Thank You Michael and Jessica. I was a huge fan of Vincent Price growing up. Some of the characters he played at times scared the willies out of me . I remember listening to Thriller the first time and hearing his voice at the end. Thank you Michael for paying respect to this wonderful actor. - Paul , St Petersburg, Fl
WOW. Delmar has changed soooo much since the early 90s when I'd hang out there. 😞 Always would stop and check out his star when there as a teen.
Never seen that singing duet with Price and Karloff---my two favorite horror dudes! Now, That, was an awesome surprise! Thanx a Mil, for showing us Vincent Price's childhood home and where he grew up. You guys did another great job on another great legend of film/horror...Thank you, GrimmLife, for always coming through! Rain or no rain, it was WORTH every minute! Peace and Happy Halloween!
This is so awesome! Vincent Price is a legend! I also love how unique and elegant his voice is. Always love going on these great adventures with you both! Happy Halloween.
Vincent Price was a legend. Love this.
What I like about Boris Karloff was the fact he was so decent. Reading a story about him where he had to smash up a laboratory and he had to smash a lot of glass. After the shoot, he got a brush and started cleaning up and a floor manager went up to him explaining a stagehand would clean it up. He said, "I made the mess, I'll clean it up." Not many actors today have so much humility as he did.
I too loved Vincent Price. So many movies and he was excellent in all of them. I was in awe of his voice. Think I read that he was also an artist, but nit positive. Sure wish he was still with us. He was in a class not shared by many. May he rest in peace.
@@ColeenFogle Strangely enough, I was watching an interview earlier today and he was explaining his voice over from Thriller.
Absolutely loved this video. I think this is now my favorite! It was so cool seeing Karloff do his growl and seeing them sing together. I think Vincent Price would have been tickled pink with your video. Thank you for the history!
Great video. I loved the clip of Karloff, Price and Skelton. Great history.
I've always loved Vincent Price. Grew up watching his movie's and still love watching them today. I never knew there was so much more to him. Thanks for sharing y'all. 😊👍
I was lucky enough in the mid-1970's to see a play in Delaware. Vincent Price and Roddy McDowell were the stars! It was a comedy. Can't remember the name of the play these many years later, but seeing them perform "live" was a memory I will never forget! Vincent Price is mainly known for horror, but he was a all-round great actor and performer!
I met him at IUS were he was giving a talk on horror films and after his talk he seat in the lobby and talk to anyone that wanted to talk and I got to talk to him . he was a very nice man.
Dang, I love his childhood house! But even more, I love all of the clips you added!
NO WAY! I’m a phd student at WashU and I pass this house all the time on Forsyth Blvd, I had no idea it was linked to THE Vincent Price!!! WOW!
Oh my god when he mentions the Muny in that clip my heart leapt, I LOVE the Muny. 🥰 I didn’t even know he was from here! This is incredible.
I recently watched The Song of Bernadette, and Vincent Price was in the movie. Such a great performance and was opposite of his horror flicks. Props to the musician, total respect for live music
Ahhh - it makes me so happy that you two visited all the place you did while you were in St. Louis. It's fun seeing you in my stomping grounds doing your thing. Thanks for all you do.
I think he is wrong about Washington University for 10 buildings were there before Vincent's family built house. Wash U started to be used in 1905. They waited until after the 1904 Olympics and World's Fair. Maybe that building was added later but 103 acres of land owned was owned by Wash U before the 1900s. He made it sound like they built the University after Vincent's family lived on street. A quick Wikipedia search would provide the information.
@@lm1314I believed you until you mentioned Wikipedia, it's at that moment I put you in the clown department.
Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. The man was a genius. He's just amazing I'm a huge Scooby Doo fan and I love that he was in the 13 Ghost series. Thank you so much for doing this video. Learned so much about this amazing man
That’s how he was introduced to my son when he was little. Then Thriller.
great actor and voice very unappreciated in his time because of type casting. Ad least we have his great performances .
Before it was a Uhaul facility, the candy company was abandoned for some time. Once during this period I went in with some friends. Great view of the city from the roof.
That opening number is pretty whimsical.
My favorite Vincent Price guest appearance is, hands down, his appearance on The Muppet Show®in season one. ua-cam.com/video/BmV-EissSM0/v-deo.html
Great video! Whenever I think of Vincent price I just think of thriller. Apparently he recorded it in one take
My Mom and Grandparents are buried there .. I didn't know Vincent Prices Family was there .. I saw head stones there 200 yrs old .. it's a awesome Cemetery
Great video and have loved Vincent forever. Of course who could forget Thriller with Michael Jackson? What a talent! Loved the pit and the ? Sorry can't remember how to spell the name but I loved it. Thanks for sharing his home town.
They were the best...I don't think anyone can be as scary, even without trying, as Karloff...and he was a gentle man too, lol. Price was so sinister!...and funny too.
Thanks for visiting my hometown! Would have loved to see you both in person.
Oh my gosh, I adored Vincent Price. He was a gourmet chef as well. ❤️ Perfect person to spotlight! Great opening clip with he, Boris and Red Skelton!
I used to own a cassette tape series of Vincent Price reading his recipes and talking about how to prepare them. I don't know what happened to them.
Vincent Price is one of my favorite ❤😍 actors for horror/thriller movies 🎥.
Thank you so much for posting. Vincent Price was such a generous and kind man who was kind to me when I was in high school. He gave me career advice. Many people know him for his campy style of acting, but he also was a great realistic stage actor as well. Much Love and Blessings... Thank you for your hard work! - Guy :-)
hey JESSICA and MICHAEL have a wonderful month of APRIL
Harriet Cobb is Marguerite's mother.
Oh NEATO!!! Vincent Price had one of my favorite voices of all time. I was 11 when "Thriller" came out, and I was ecstatic that he was on the song. I love his movies!
I have lived here all my life and had no idea where his house was. That is so cool. Looks like a beautiful house. I'll have to drive by it!
I'm a new subscriber. Your Exorcist house video was recommended to me. I've been binging your videos! They're awesome!
Thank you for showcasing some interesting stuff about my city!
I live in St. Louis, born and raised. This video gave me the warm fuzzies.
Wow, I always thought Vincent Price was English. I guess his name, accent and sophisticated style seemed English to me :) A great voice and a legend.
Thanks for posting He grew up in a gorgeous home
I LOVE Vincent Price!!! One of my absolute favorite actors of ALL-TIME!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Much love!!!
Love you both from London ❤️
I used to work at an amazon warehouse 12 hours a day.. NOW I review weed products on my UA-cam channel as my job✊
Michael and Jessica,, absolutely love your vlogs!!,
Grew up on Vincent Price,, his films are classics. I'm a recent subscriber and wish ld known of you way before now!!!, anyway thanks for sharing, and Jessica love your hair. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧❤️......................
Great job .. Show is on point . My grandma used to live close by . I live in St Charles about 25 minutes from the cemetery and his childhood home . Always doing a great job . Happy Halloween 🤟🏻✌🏻
This was absolutely great! I loved Vincent Price!! Especially when he did horror. The opening singing act showed me a side I never saw of him. Thank you!! 😊 He had a one of a kind voice.
I loved Vincent Price!! He was really a versatile actor though he was known for his horror films. What a thrill it would be to be able to say I lived in the house he grew up in. His appearance in an episode of the Twilight Zone haunted me for the longest time back in the day. I still think about it from time to time even now. This was a great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it for us.
Wow I had no idea Vincent price had such an affluent childhood! Purchasing fine art at age 12?! Haha crazy
I live in St Louis County and go to STL City often, why do you continually feel the need to say everything is brnd-down and deteriorated, I don't see anything like that when I travel through the city.
As a black person living here too, the buildings in the county and some going into the county are burned down, deteriorated or abandoned. But you don't find many like that in the city because they want to keep it looking nice/decent. These buildings are mainly found in our neighborhoods..
Loved this! I didn’t know about the candy history! The childhood home and cemetery are beautiful! I looked up Harriet Cobb and she was Margeritte Wlvox’s mother? I’m sure that was commented here since this was 6 months ago. But all very interesting! Love you guys!
Vincent Price was a great actor before he turned to horror movies. Karloff and Price are my all-time favorite actors for horror and non-horror. You two did an excellent job with the video.
The Exorcist and Vincent Price!
I live near these places, not originally from here, but have discovered some of these places. Also, maybe just as creepy now, an old official Playboy club is near the corner of Vandeventer and Lindell near SLU and the still has bunny logos on the sidewalk approach to the front door. Awesome youtube channel you guys produce.
Love Vincent Price. His voice alone brings me back to my early childhood, seems like he was always on tv. Even did an episode of the Brady Bunch! Thank you for this feature.
I watched an old episode of the Snoop Sisters & he was in it .
I really like Vincent Price's movies, especially those he made with Roger Korman. The fact his family was in the candy business, which I didn't know til now, makes him all the more cool to me, since I have a big sweet tooth!
That candy bar looked delicious! The fact that he and Chuck Berry, who helped make rock n' roll music popular, were both from the same city is awesome as well.
What a great video Michael and Jessica. VP was, is and will always be one of my favorites!! A true horror icon!
Thank You 🙏 so much for this information. Knew he was from Mo just didn’t know where. Have seen all his movies! Again thanks! It is sad so many historic places in St Louis have been left in disrepair! Or gone forever!
The king of the creepy voice, I love it!
Both you guys and your videos are so interesting! My partner and I have been subscribers for a while now. Both you two wonderful people be careful and we’ll see you in New Orleans sometime! Thank y’all for sharing and taking us with you.
Vincent's Dr Phibes movies hooked me in as a kid. He was my 'go to' from then on. Love his turn in 'Bloodbath at the House of Death'. Amazing comic timing! Thanks guys. Loving your stuff, so keep it coming!
Dr.Phibes was just one of his masterpieces!
I truly enjoyed this! Thank you for doing a video dedicated to Vincent Price. Hello from Branson, Missouri!
Vincent price was so great. All of his scary movies are so great.
I loved Vincent price. My one memory when he did a few episodes on the Brady bunch show ..bc I grew up with Brady bunch show .loved it..... Vincent was so good.....👍
You two keep making better and better videos! This one was wonderful. Your love for the subject matter is contagious.. Keep up the good work!
If you guys visit Los Angeles again, visit the East Los Angeles Community College, they have a museum named after Vincent Price and contains some of the art he collected, it was all donated from the family.
Love Vincent! When I can't sleep, I turn on his cooking recordings with recipes from around the world, and it lulls me to sleep. Nothing like waking up to Vincent Price telling you how to make guacamole 🙂
I had those tapes as well. Loved his voice
Oh man. You were here in St. Louis two or three weeks ago? It's really cool when UA-camrs that you watch are in your home town. And yes, our weather here in the Lou is never predictable. The other day it was warm and as soon as the wind picked up, the temperature had dropped about 25 degrees in about two hours. Welcome to St. Louis. LOL
"I'm not going to lie" Why would you lie?
I think you two are terffic. Thank You
His daughter Victoria wrote a really good book about him several years ago and it's worth the read. There's just one story about Mr. Price I would like to have heard that isn't in that book, but no one really knows it and it sort of died with him because he never really discussed it and his daughter didn't find out about it until going through his personal documents after he died. About the red scare issues he had during the 1950's. He avoided being blacklisted and his daughter only makes a small mention of it in the book.
