Vincent
is a short animation by Tim Burton about a young boy who wants to grow up to be Vincent Price, and is narrated by Mr. Price himself. Classic Tim Burton story and animation.
"She danced in her mother's womb and she was dancing when she was born. As God is my witness and the devil her father, she will dance your dead back to their grave..." So says the grandmother in El Despertar, an animated short film about zombies and Flamenco.
Halloween's not far away. Are you prepared with Candy?

Great stuff with the Vincent post. I saw this a few years ago at The Animation Show and have been wishing to see it again ever since. thanks!

Much Price-y goodness! That short is always a favorite; I saw it for the first time as a extra on the Nightmare Before Christmas DVD. IIRC, I just finished watching House of Usher on TCM a couple of hours ago. Yes, kids, I am the original Vincent Price fangirl. Two of the things I love most about him are that he had a great sense of humor, and he wasn't averse to having a chuckle at his own image both as scream king and art collector. VP on the Muppet Show VP wih Red Skelton VP as Ratigan! VP with Lucille Ball VP advertising wine coolers Some kid in a school concert lip-synching to the VP narration from "Thriller"
