Vincent Price was an American actor celebrated for elegant horror roles in films from the 1950s to the 1970s, and his theatrical laugh became one of his trademarks. It reached a new generation at the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1982, where Price delivers a spoken passage and closes with a long cackle. Clips of that laugh later circulated on video sites and soundboards as a standalone effect, and creators still reuse it whenever they need instant classic horror atmosphere without modern jump scare harshness.
