Vincent Price, the veteran horror actor known for films such as House of Wax and The Fly, recorded the spoken coda for Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1982, ending the track with his sinister laugh. The song became a global hit and a Halloween staple, and Price's laugh was later isolated by fans and soundboard users as a standalone clip. Its short length and instantly recognisable theatrical delivery have kept it in circulation for spooky edits, haunted house videos and horror memes decades after its original release.
About this sound
A short, chilling Vincent Price laugh from Michael Jackson's Thriller, used for Halloween edits, spooky reveals and creepy horror-themed memes.
This is a brief, unmistakable burst of Vincent Price's theatrical villain laugh, lifted from his famous spoken-word passage in Thriller. His voice rises in a high, cackling, almost gleeful cackle that feels both playful and menacing, with that classic horror-movie timing that makes the hair stand up. Because it is so short, it lands instantly, turning a simple jump scare, costume reveal or spooky punchline into something far more dramatic. Listeners recognise it immediately, even without the music around it, and the laugh carries a sense of campy dread that works perfectly for Halloween content and creepy edits.
