Vincent Price Award: History and Key Facts

The Vincent Price Award (also known as the Price Award) was created by Miles Flanagan and Victoria Price to both honor Vincent Price's film and art legacy and fundraise for the arts.

The award is presented at Hollywood Horrorfest, an annual horror film festival, founded by Flanagan and based in Los Angeles. It was created to celebrate Vincent Price's legacy by honoring an artist "whose work has achieved equally iconic status" in the horror/fantasy genres. Joe Dante, director of Gremlins and The Howling, was the first recipient of the award, at the New Beverly Cinema in March 2014. The event is held annually as part of Hollywood Horrorfest at the Eastwood Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles.
