Vincent Price, a legendary horror icon, had a hilarious Christmas tradition of pranking his wife with a bone butterfly necklace she detested.
Vincent Price ’s favorite holiday was Christmas , and the horror icon couldn’t resist pulling a prank on his wife each December, according to his daughter. Victoria Price told Fox News Digital that her father, the star of classic horror movies like 'House on Haunted Hill' and 'Edward Scissorhands,' had a 'weakness for large jewelry that he loved buying his wives,' and after going to Poland in 1974 he gifted her stepmother a chunky bone butterfly necklace. 'My stepmother hated it,' Price said.
'That wasn't her cup of tea. And unlike us, she just said it. ‘I will never wear this. I hate it.’' She said that her stepmom also likely wasn't 'endeared' by the fact that he also gave a necklace to her mom, Mary Grant Price. She continued, 'My dad loved Christmas; he was like Father Christmas. Christmas was his favorite holiday. They were married for 18 years. Every year for the next 18 years, would get in her thing of Christmas packages some beautiful Tiffany box or some something, and there it was, every damn year that bone necklace, so that was my dad’s humor.' She said her dad was a habitual prankster, once leaving a 'disgusting corroded denture' under her pillow when she expected a nickel from the Tooth Fairy, and jumping out and surprising candy givers when he took her trick-or-treating. 'My stepmother hated it. That wasn't her cup of tea. And unlike us, she just said it. ‘I will never wear this. I hate it.’' Price said her family celebrated a 'very traditional' Christmas that involved opening stockings with their family, sweet rolls and eggnog, lunch and exchanging presents all day long with their extended family and finally a big New Year’s Eve party with a band and dancing.
