An entire page and no one mentions Vincent Price?


He’s the whole reason Edward exists in the first place!

Right? I love Vincent Price and his creepy movies!

And I think this was his final movie.

Here, here! I think for his last ever on-screen appearance, it was a really great one. But also very sad. It's also very ironic that his last film before he died in real life, has a scene where he dies in the film. It was a perfect swan song and send-off for him. And it's also interesting to further note that while he had an entire career built off of playing insane maniacs, killers and cruel murderers, he ended his career playing a very kind and good-natured character, The Inventor who brought Edward to life. What a perfect final film for him. He wasn't in it much, but his presence was so largely felt, you can't really imagine anyone else playing him, probably because the part was written specifically for Price. And thank goodness even though his health was failing at that point, he was still well enough to accept the part!

^Very nice post^

It was also Tim Burton’s dream that Vincent Price be in one of his movies, so I’m sure he was very happy that this was made possible just before Price passed away.
