I'm kicking off Week 3 of the Countdown to Halloween in a similar way I closed out Week 2--by featuring work of the late, great Vincent Price. Because you can't get enough Vincent, can you? Instead of a movie, however, I'm featuring a TV project.
In 1984, Price hosted a one-hour syndicated TV special called Halloween Thriller. This special included Price, capitalizing off of his legendary collaboration with Michael Jackson, hosting an hour of music videos with his spooky intros between them. The strangest thing about this special, however, is that most videos didn't have a Halloween or spooky theme, or at least only in the loosest way possible. But hey, a Halloween TV special is a Halloween TV special!
Unfortunately, the program itself is nowhere to be found on the Web, so I'm posting the next best thing: the first video consists of outtakes of Price recording his intros; the second video is a collection of commercials that appeared during the program, with snippets of Price's intros thrown in.
I would have loved to have featured the entire program, but even patchwork Vincent Price is better than no Price at all.
Enjoy!

Watching now. As you said, any Price is better than no Price at all! Thanks! :)
