When Michael Jackson’s Thriller video was released in December 1983, it was an event. The anticipation was almost palpable and it was the talk of the entertainment media – and playgrounds and workplaces – for weeks afterwards.
As well as being a new Michael Jackson release and a ground-breaking John Landis-directed short film, the fact that it featured that master of horror, Vincent Price, was a huge coup.
A clip showing the only time Vincent Price ever performed his spoken word piece live has been doing the rounds. It’s quite something.
What a legend!
Joan Rivers obviously couldn’t resist the opportunity to have the perfect performance on Friday the 13th on The Late Show, and we’re very glad she didn’t.
When the @HorrorHammer1 Twitter account shared the video as an early nod to Halloween, it hit the spot with tweeters.
Joan Rivers and Vincent Price. Legendary. Happy Halloween… https://t.co/CsWEKiory1

Only Vincent Price could rhyme “blood” with “neighborhood” and make it sound good https://t.co/aFCSyhva0z
