vincent price'ın seslendirdiği, stop- motion cekilmis, bir tim burton filmidir. tipik, ince yüzlü, grotesk karakter vincent'ın hikayesi şöyledir;

vincent malloy is seven years old
he's always polite and does what he's told
for a boy his age, he's considerate and nice
but he wants to be just like vincent price

he doesn't mind living with his sister, dog and cats
though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats

there, he could reflect on the horrors he's invented
and wander dark hallways alone and tormented

vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
but imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum

he likes to experiment on his dog abercrombie
in the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
so he and his horrible zombie dog could go searching for victims in the london fog

his thoughts though aren't only of ghoulish crimes
he likes to paint and read to pass some of the time
while other kids read books like "go jane go"
vincent's favorite author is edgar allan poe

one night, while reading a gruesome tale
he read a passage that made him turn pale
such horrible news he could not survive
for his beautiful wife had been buried alive
he dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
unaware that her grave was his mothers flower bed

his mother sent vincent off to his room
he knew he'd been banished to the tower of doom
where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife

while alone and insane, incased in his tomb
vincent's mother bursts suddenly into the room
she said, "if you want to, you can go out and play.
it's sunny outside and a beautiful day."

vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn't speak
the years of isolation made him quite weak
so he took out some paper and scrolled with a pen,
"i am possessed by this house and can never leave it again."

his mother said, "you are not possessed and you are not almost dead
these games that you play are all in your head
you're not vincent price, you're vincent malloy
you're not tormented or insane
you're just a young boy
you're seven years old and you are my son
i want you to get outside and have some real fun."

her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
and vincent backed slowly, against the wall
the room started to sway, to shiver and creek
his horrid insanity had reached it's peek

he saw abercrombie, his zombie slave
and heard his wife call from beyond the grave
she spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands

while through cracking walls reached skeleton hands
every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
swept his mad laughter to terrified screams

to escape the madness he reached for the door
but fell limp and lifeless on the floor

his voice was soft and very slow
as he quoted "the raven" from edgar allan poe,
"and my soul from out that shadow that
lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted -nevermore!"
