Vincent Price’s Halloween Special from ‘Saturday Night Live’

From what I know, Vincent Price has never once hosted his own Halloween Special which is a real shame considering the man was THE Master of Fright in his day. Despite this, the comedic minds at Saturday Night Live decided to finally give the film fiend his due… well, sorta. Being a product of SNL, Vincent Price’s Halloween Special were a series of skits that were more light on the macabre than they were the funny, but the performances by Bill Hader (as Vincent Price), Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen and special guest John Hamm are so good you can’t help but love them!

    Oh, how I love these…although the ones for the not scary holidays are classics, too…

    • I don’t watch the show as much as I probably should, considering how much I loved this skit!

        They’ve done ones for Thanksgiving (Which featured ‘Don Knotts’) and a Christmas one with James Franco playing James Dean yet again.

        • Nice – I’ll have to look those up as well!
