Two Movies That Pay Homage to Vincent Price

Here are two movies that pay homage to Vincent Price:

House of Wax (2005)
One of the two villains is named "Vincent".

House on Haunted Hill (1999)
The host is named "Stephen H. Price", and is played by Geoffrey Rush. Although it was unintentional, Rush bears a striking resemblance to Vincent Price.

In the House on Haunted Hill (1959), the host is named "Frederick Loren", and is played by Vincent Price.

Here's an additional homage in the form of, ironically, a wax museum:

In Deathtrap, there is one scene where a playwright's wife (Myra, Dyan Cannon), along with w/a guy (Cliff, Christopher Reeve) who is handcuffed to a chair by a somewhat defensive Sidney (Michael Caine), panic when they realize that the key is still nowhere to be found. After a few tense moments, the key is located and they breathe huge sighs of relief, resulting in Sidney's following great line: "Ye Gods! I do believe that you two thought I was going to take that mace, and do a Vincent Price!"

This scene is Priceless (in 2 ways)!!! - Sorry, I couldn't resist it.

Both of those movies are remakes of Vincent Price movies. The ultimate homage to Vincent Price would be Tim Burton's short film "Vincent" (that has Vincent Price as the narrator). It can be found on the "Nightmare Before Christmas" DVD and on YouTube.

I would have to add the 1985 movie "Fright Night". The guy who played Peter Vincent is (at least to me) a Vincent Price character.
