We continue our look at actors who played villains in the 1966 Batman TV series. This week, we look at Vincent Price, who played the recurring Batman villain Egghead in seasons two and three of Batman (1966).
We begin by featuring an episode of Favorite Story.
William Shakespeare is brought forward to the 1940s to write Hollywood pictures.
Original Air Date: January 14, 1947
Starring: Vincent Price as “Will” Shakespeare; Betsy Blair; Chilius; William Conrad
After the drama, I talk about the season two two-parter “An Egg Grows in Gotham” and “The Yegg Foes in Gotham” from 1966.

Thank you for this show. I love ❤️ Vincent Price! As a child in the fifth or sixth grade, I was fortunate to watch him live when he portrayed Fagen in “Oliver” at the Kenley Players in Dayton, OH. My parents were such theatre fans that not only did they have season tickets, they were not bashful to help us get autographs. (Yes, I do have Vincent Price’s autograph on the program!)
After that experience, I followed him with a different eye. I especially like him in Michael Jackson’s song/video, “Thriller,” and his audio rendition of Edgar Allen Poe’s “A Tell-Tale Heart.”
Keep up the good work! The worlds you share with us are Price-less!!
(I also like the public service announcement that he did promoting inclusion and understanding— anti-discrimination. )
