This is the filmography of Vincent Price (May 27, 1911 – October 25, 1993), which includes appearances in theatre and television. Price made his theatre debut in the Gate Theatre's production of Chicago (1935), followed by work on Broadway. Under contract to Universal Pictures, Price traveled to Hollywood, making his screen debut in Service de Luxe (1938). By the 1960s, Vincent Price was working almost exclusively in the horror genre and teen film genres. Price's last film was Edward Scissorhands (1990) and the TV movie The Heart of Justice (1992) was his final screen appearance. Price died in Los Angeles, California, in 1993.
