(Fabulous picture of Vincent Price as Egghead from Batman)
As a child until my teenage years, I had this obsession with Vincent Price. Anything that had Vincent Price in it, even if it was a sound clip of his voice, I was on it. One of my favorite movies when I was younger was The House of Wax. I could watch it over and over again. There was something about the macabre nature of Vincent Price and his films that I loved, plus the sound of his voice is like a knife cutting through hot butter!
Today while going through Slate.com, I found an article about Vincent Price. Apparently him and his wife were food aficionados and there are several collections of his recipes available. I even found an audio clip of him explaining how to make Viennese eggs!

I am posting this for sheer entertainment value. I just want Vincent Price to come back to life, stroke my hair and read me a bedtime story. Below are youtube clips of Tim Burton's short film 'Vincent', which is narrated by Vincent Price, and Vincent Price's reading of The Raven.
My Vincent Price obsession is officially revived.
