Vincent Price's Ultimate Horror!

Author : Stephen Schochet

Vincent Price was always of two minds about his horror movie career. On the one hand it was a way for an actor to age and keep working. But the gourmet cook and art collector often felt that these films were beneath him.

Always looking for extra publicity the Saint Louis born thespian pulled many stunts to get attention for his films. One time he went to the Hollywood Wax museum and disguised himself as his wax dummy likeness. Standing motionless with a hypodermic syringe he would wait patiently for unsuspecting people to watch by, and startle them by reaching out and squirting them with water.

Vincent 's ultimate horror involved the world's most famous pop star. He was thrilled to be hired by Michael Jackson to record the narration for the song Thriller. He agreed to do it for a small fee. But when Thriller became the greatest hit of all time he wanted more money. Michael Jackson refused to compensate him and Price was furious.

About 8 years later Vincent was sitting around his house quietly watching TV, not feeling well under a blanket to keep him warm. The TV show Hard Copy came on. There was a segment about Michael Jackson and a little boy. Vincent shocked the household suddenly shouting," Oh my god! Oh my God!" His wife Coral came running into the living room,"Vincent, what's the matter?"

The Old man pointed at the TV," He's doing to the little boy what he did to me!"

Stephen Schochet is the author and narrator of the audiobooks "Fascinating Walt Disney" and "Tales Of Hollywood". The Saint Louis Post Dispatch says," these two elaborate productions are exceptionally entertaining."
