When you're a celebrity, it's almost a given that sometimes, fans are going to be weird. Granted, a superfan meeting their favorite actor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Still, that doesn't mean that there's no request out of line.

As the king of creeps and scares, Vincent Price was no stranger to some unorthodox requests.

While most fans approached Price looking for a photo or an autograph, Price once had a fan who asked for a little something extra from him.

According to an article from the Associated Press, Price claimed that once, a woman asked him to bite her neck. Why the Houston fan had such an odd request, we'll never know. While Price was known for playing strange characters, the actor had never had the honor of playing the famed bloodsucker, Count Dracula.

Still, that didn't stop the fan's request, and it certainly didn't stop Price from being all too happy to deliver. That's right; Vincent Price once bit a fan's neck, at her request. "My, was she surprised!" he said.

Price was a horror connoisseur, famous for his roles big and small in the genre that left a deep impression on his fans.

"It's awfully easy to get out of the business, it's not easy to stay in," he said. "I never felt that the great parts were the only things you should do. That's a great mistake because there are so many interesting things available."
