In Honor Of Terror — Past & Present — Dave’s Diary [VIDEO]

In honor of frights of the past:

On this day in history, Oct. 25, 1993, just six days short of Halloween, the spooktacular Vincent Price passed away at the age of 82.

Wikipedia notes: In the 1950s, Price moved into horror films, with a role in House of Wax (1953), the first 3D film to land in the year's top 10 at the North American box office. His next roles were The Mad Magician (1954), the monster movie The Fly (1958) and its sequel Return of the Fly (1959). Price starred in the original House on Haunted Hill (1959) as the eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren. He played Dr. Warren Chapin, in The Tingler, a 1959 horror-thriller film by the American producer and director William Castle. Price also appeared to great effect in the radio drama "Three Skeleton Key," the story of an island lighthouse besieged by an army of rats. He first performed the work in 1950 on Escape and returned to it in 1956 and 1958 for Suspense.^[8]

 The distinctive voice and creepy stylings set the standard for fear a half century ago and in more recent times he even lent his talented tones to Michael Jackson’s landmark music video "Thriller."

Here is the master in a video of his own sharing Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven.
