The Master of the Macabre has arrived!
By: Robert TrateDate: Tuesday, September 11, 2007
His name, his face, and his voice are synonymous with Horror, however Vincent Price began his career on Broadway, but where it would end was far cry different then he could have ever predicted. Vincent Price would go on to become the Master of the Macabre. Ravens, Vampires, Skeletons, Spooky Castles, and Scissorhands all would be this scream legends costars. With the leaves already changing color and the temperature dropping, what way better to get into the mood for Halloween by watching this legend do what he does best, scaring the hell out of you.
