Tall, sinister and charming,
Seductive and eerily unforgettable in voice,
Initially a B grade actor in Hollywood,
Elevated to the A list grandmaster of horror, a sheer twist of fate not choice.
He terrorised us in the House of Wax,
We were repulsed by him in The Fly,
Roger Corman sent shivers down our spine through his many faces of Vincent Price on screen,
Before Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins one never dared to lie.
He frightened us over the years with so many brilliant horrific performances,
Art collector, food writer, political liberal and the voice on Michael Jackson\'s Thriller, achievements behind his illustrious name,
The world of horror experienced a great loss on his death,
With the absence of Vincent Price never will horror films ever be the same.
