For anyone who islooking for acostumefor thelocalcostumeget together, just lookingby means of a list of all Vincent Price's moviesmay offer a world of ideas of figures from the serious to the comedic, classic horror and tongue in cheek camp, even some renowned television shows. If a person were to attend the outfit party being a Vincent Price character from some of these films, there is such a wide array of heroes available. Lots of the characters may need to be described to some people even though some characters could be presented as generic historic or business characters, unless someone may also bring along any Vincent Price voice box to go with the actual costume.
And that is really the biggest problem with nearly all costumes for that Halloween costume get together. Unless a personality is readily recognizable such as a Star Wars or Star Trek persona or a Marvel or DC Comics superhero character; oh yea and maybe a legendary western tv character, after that people usually have to offer up some explanation as to who their Halloween costume is supposed to be. So if someone is going to have to identify who the outfit is supposed to symbolize anyway, after that people should be going for the most innovative characters possible. Most costume party and supply stores could work with individuals to put together all the elements of a costume, even one from a fantasy such as Son of Sinbad or a period of time piece including the Three Musketeers. Or of course, since Vincent Price had been cast as the Mad Scientist many times, an easy lab coat with a few medical instruments and the character is set.
