When you associate the names “Elvira” and “Alice Cooper,” you would think that their peers would be a bunch of gothic ruffians. Would you be surprised if one of their
peers was Vincent Price? Indeed, to some in the radio world, he was known for his suave persona, catching thugs and evildoers while having enough time to cuddle with
the damsel. To others, he was the cause of many nightmares, on the silver screen and through the air waves.

Vincent Leonard Price Junior., also known as Bink, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to the owner of the National Candy Company, Vincent Price Senior. After graduating
from Yale University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History, now in his early 20s, he left the States and headed for Europe to attend Graduate School in Vienna at
Courtauld Institute. It was in Vienna where Vincent was beckoned to the stage in order to play the Judge in “Chicago.” From here, he appeared in the pre-Broadway smash
“Victoria Regina” with Helen Hayes. The show was so successful that it was sent straight to Broadway. In 1938, Vincent headed west to Hollywood. Immediately, Vincent
landed a role in “Service De Luxe.” After many successful roles, his ultimate Hollywood fate would soon reach him.

Vincent’s breakthrough performance, and his calling role, came when the script for “the House of Wax,” a low-budget horror flick, landed in his lap. After the movie’s
unexpected success, Price went on to star in many spine-tingling horror movies, such as “The House on Haunted Hill” (1958), “House of Usher”(1960), “Pit and the
Pendulum” (1961), and “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”(1971).

In 1983, Price’s did the overture voice in Michael Jackson’s famous song, “Thriller.” Price was not limited to scary roles. In 1986, Price was cast as Professor
Ratigan in Walt Disney Pictures “The Great Mouse Adventure,” which he later went on to proclaim was his most favorite role of all time, mainly due to two original
songs written exclusively for Price. He was also an avid gourmet chef, writing many Cookbooks on Culinary mastery. Vincent Price’s final role was in 1990 where he
played the gentle and kind inventor of “Edward Scissorhands.” In the film, even though his frailty was very evident, he rose to the occasion, and delivered an awesome
performa
