"The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of 40000 years, and grizzly ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom."

Legendary award-winning actor Vincent Price, who thrilled us in Thriller, fascinated us in The Fall of the House of Usher, has found his final resting place on the mantle next to Howard Stern Show co-host Robin Quivers' cat (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment). It's just wrong, people. And we have Joan Rivers to thank for it. Who, in their right minds, would entrust their earthly remains to a vapid materialist like Rivers anyway? (Sotto voce) An accomplished Master of Horror, my friends; an accomplished Master of Horror. From Marksfriggin:
"After the break Howard had Joan Rivers come in. She's there to promote the red carpet coverage she'll be doing for the TV Guide Channel. Joan came in with some of Vincent Price's ashes for Robin. Robin had asked for them the last time she was on the show so Joan brought them in for her. Howard said that's really sick but then asked her for some of Anna Nicole Smith's if she gets a hold of those. Joan said that she has ashes of some friends and her dog too. She mentioned that the last time she was on the show when Robin asked for some of Vincent Price's.
"Howard said he got a lot of e-mail after Joan talked about the ashes the last time. She said she likes being able to look at her pets when she wants to. she keeps them all in a Louis Vatton bag in her closet. She said it's comforting to her and she knows it's stupid. She said it is good luck though. Robin said she's going to put her Vincent Price ashes near her cat's ashes in her house. Howard said he finds all of this very unsettling."
Or, to paraphrase Vincent, "Darkness falls across the land, The midnight hour is close at hand, Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y'owls neighborhood."
