Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ gave Vincent Price ‘immortality’ after he tried acting on a dare

Vincent Price, known for horror films like "House on Haunted Hill," "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "Edward Scissorhands," became an icon after doing "Thriller," his daughter says.

"He always wanted to be an actor," Victoria Price told Fox News Digital of her father, a pop culture fixture during the Halloween season. "But he never got cast. So, then he went to London to study art history at the University of London … and he kept going to see plays. And somebody dared him to try out for a play, and that’s how he became an actor."

Victoria said her father always wanted to be a character actor.
