AS SEEN ON TV: VINCENT PRICE

VINCENT PRICE


AS SEEN ON:
'Saturday Night Live'

AS PLAYED BY:

DAN AYKROYD


MICHAEL McKEAN

 

BILL HADER

May 27th marked the 100th anniversary of Vincent Price's birth and at Toobworld Central isn't done with celebrating the life of this legendary actor, art connoisseur, and gourmet cook.

But I'm not the right choice to fete this man properly. Instead, I'd like to point you towards the following blogs by some of my comrades which give great insights into the man and some of his roles.......

FILMICABILITY

THE FLAMING NOSE

A SHROUD OF THOUGHTS

THRILLING DAYS OF YESTERYEAR

EDWARD COPELAND ON FILM... AND MORE
Both by Ivan Shreve





And if you visit Hulu, you can find several of the Vincent Price TV specials that Bill Hader has lampooned so well over the last few years on SNL. (Currently there are four available to be seen. Select "TV Clips" for Type and "Saturday Night Live" for Show to winnow it down to that quartet.)

A Trilogy of Terror for Tuesday!

BCnU!
