I remember that commercial! It looks like it was filmed on the set of the PBS show Mystery! (which he also hosted, as I recall).
Vincent Price was a real treasure. What often gets missed because of his horror film career is his great love of and expertise in the arts; he was a connoisseur of fine art (he had an enormous collection of art pieces) and a gourmet chef.
Does anybody remember the "Shrunken Head" commercials with Price? I had one, and it was so cool. You took apples and turned them into little shrunken heads. Price vamped around in a lab coat turning all these granny smith's into little blackened heads.
From The Raven, to the House on Haunted hill, to The last Man on Earth, I loved me some Vinny P.
I remember old V.P with fondness. He was a great actor, he could set a mood just by glaring at you. Must watch "The Raven" and "Fall of the House of Usher" once again. :)

Look! Dr. Phibes!
(Man VP rocked).
You cannot say enough good things about Vicent Price!
BTW, I have the entire Enchanted World series thanks to eBay. It was one of my big resources for D&D back in the day!
