Icons of Horror: Vincent Price


For our second foray into the icons of horror, we're talking about a man whose career has become practically synonymous with horror. Of course, it's Vincent Price, a man with a style all his own and a resume that consists of some of the most classic genre films ever. With a career that spans both legitimate studio classics as well as low budget B-movie fare, Vincent Price (Vinnie P. to us) was a master who is most definitely deserving of "icon" status.
