The narrator in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.
Old-school actor, known for horror movies (The Fly, House on Haunted Hill).
Old thread:
Here’s his monologue from Thriller.
He also played the Batman villain Egghead.
Proof that movie villains have to have a posh accent, regardless of their nationality.
That was the camera we had. I wouldn’t call it tawdry at all. It worked fine. They weren’t stereoscopic pictures, they produced lenticular prints.
Anyway, he was a well respected actor, and very well known, but maybe not the A-list type that brings in big audiences and big bucks.
Vincent Price was quite handsome when he was young.
Early Tim Burton:
Vincent Price eggs on the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder.
Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Also, was.
Too soon?
I am friends with a woman who was married to a man who was roommates with Vincent Price in college.
Those under 40 might know Vincent Price from his brief (impersonated) appearance in the “Simpsons” episode “Sunday, Cruddy Sunday”…
or the spoof character Vincent Twice (Vincent Twice) from “Sesame Street.”
Are you Dark Helmet?
LMAO- I was going to post along the same lines.
The camera was the NIMSLO, and I think I still have mine.
Nimslo was partially sold to Nishika, and according to wiki the promotional video with Vincent Price was produced by Nishika.
See, all these details are why it’s going to be so hard to explain Vincent Price jokes to youngsters.
Price also guested on “The Brady Bunch” which guaranteed that children of the 70s and 80s would be well aware of him.
In any generation, some people are knowledgeable of icons of the very recent past, and others are proudly sequestered in their own bubbles.
I remember running into someone who was very angry a lot of people my age didn’t know who James Cagney was. Cagney only made two movies during my lifetime and he died when I was eight. While I recognized the name, the only movie I can ever recall seeing him in was Mister Roberts. I know Vincent Price because his movies were on television while I grew up, he played Vincent VanGhoul on the 13 Ghost of Scooby-Doo, and he narrated Thriller.
Did you hear about the man who was half Black and half Japanese?
Every December 7th he attacked Pearl Bailey. Listener needs to know a bit of WWII history plus who she was.
