What little time remained between his film productions, television
appearances, lectures and other other endeavors, Vincent Price would
often fill by doing commercials and advertisements for a wide range
of products and services. Here is an incomplete list.
American Dairy Association, 1981-1985
|
 |
 |
 |
| Vincent Price's
affiliation with the American Dairy Association kept him in
the public eye through print, store advertising and on
television. |
Angostura Bitters, 1971-1973
|
 |

How he must have
loved this ad campaign, portraying Lorenzo De Medici, patron
of the arts! |
|
Bantam Books, Agatha Christie Mystery Collection, 1987

advertising! |
|
Birds Eye, 1971

He could even
look devilish for this Citibank credit card ad! |
|
Cousins Submarines, 1984-1989
Creamettes, 1976-1977
|
 |
| |
A gentler,
friendlier Vincent was more typical for his food and cooking
endorsements. |
|
Discount Travel International, 1985
Emba Mink

This ad, for
mink apparel, got Price in hot water with animal rights
groups. |

| |
Vincent and wife
Mary appeared in this print ad for gold-filled jewelry. |

on eBay, and even spoofed in an episode of The Simpsons,
the dried apple/shrunken head kit is a classic! |

Promise Toothpaste, 1981
Rueben's Restaurant, 1984
Samsung, 1984
Sears-Roebuck Co.
|
 |
 |
| Price's
affiliation with Sears went beyond his line of fine art.

chocolates. His likeness also appeared on sketch pads
and a home-movie making kit. |
Here's an ad for Sears carpeting and appliances which also
plugged his latest cookbook. |
Southwestern Bell, 1980, 1990

raisins! |

physically appear in this ad, Vincent and Mary's famous
cookbook did! |

|
 |
| |
Price pulled out
all the stops for his print and television Tilex ads! |
|
Time-Life Books, 1984-1987

Vincent seems
right at home with Time-Life's fairies, ghosts and wizards.
He also did a TV version. |
|

Van Heusen Shirts, 1954
The Vincent Price Book Selection, 1970s
