Vincent Price: What Keeps Us Alive

Q&A with Vincent's daughter Victoria Price and director Matthew Miele

This authorized documentary reveals far more than the man behind Hollywood’s master of the macabre. Through rare archival materials and intimate interviews with Price’s children, Victoria Price and V.B. Price, alongside cultural icons and admirers including John Waters, Tim Burton, Patton Oswalt, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Cassandra Peterson, and Alice Cooper, the film uncovers the remarkable life behind one of the most recognizable voices and faces in popular culture.

More than a portrait of a horror legend, this is the story of an artist who defied categorization. What emerges is a richly human portrait of a man whose legacy endures not merely in screams and shadows, but in the intelligence, generosity, wit, and warmth that defined the man behind the mask.

  • Victoria Price is a writer, public speaker, artist, consultant, and designer. She is the daughter of legendary actor Vincent Price. Her published books include The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self, Living Love: 12 Heart-Centered Practices to Transform Your Life, and Vincent Price: A Daughter's Biography.
  • Matthew Miele is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose work explores the lives, institutions, and cultural figures that leave a lasting imprint on our collective memory. Through acclaimed films produced and directed through Quixotic Endeavors, he looks beyond public reputation to uncover what a celebrity, artist, writer, filmmaker, or institution reveals about something larger: mortality, legacy, truth, creativity, identity, and endurance. His films are less concerned with biography than with the deeper meaning of a life and what remains after the applause, the reviews, and the headlines
