The story

Vincent is the story, told in rhyming verse, of a 7-year-old boy, Vincent Malloy, who pretends to be like the actor Vincent Price (who narrates the film). He does experiments on his dog Abercrombie in order to create a horrible ravenous zombie dog. He is obsessed with the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is his detachment from reality when reading them that leads to him seeing himself as a tortured artist and mad scientist, deprived of the woman he loves, mirroring certain parts of Poe's "The Raven".
