Vincent Price – The Voice, Face, and Icon of Horror

Years and years ago during one Halloween, my dad put on Michaels Jackson’s Thriller album. The end of the title track features a devilish laugh. I didn’t know who the laugh was performed by and I was too young to realize what the song was about, but I remember my older brother bursting into tears at the demonic cackle and run out of living room to find comfort in the safety of his bedroom. It is one of my favorite memories…especially because it didn’t only happen once (mom and dad thought it was hilarious). For those of you who haven’t heard the laugh, stop reading, go to this link and check it out. That voice belongs to the icon, the legend, Vincent Price. Price has been the face and voice of horror for decades and continues that legacy long after his death. Obviously this talented actor’s career spanned other genres, but he is the indisputable king of horror. Vincent Leonard
