In 1984, Price appeared in [[Shelley Duvall]]'s live-action series ''[[Faerie Tale Theatre]]'' as the Mirror in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", and the narrator for "The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers".

In 1989, Price was inducted into the [[St. Louis Walk of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stlouiswalkoffame.org/inductees/?view=achievement|title=St. Louis Walk of Fame Inductees|publisher=St. Louis Walk of Fame|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=October 31, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121031162946/http://www.stlouiswalkoffame.org/inductees/?view=achievement|url-status=dead}}</ref> His last significant film work was as the inventor in Tim Burton's ''[[Edward Scissorhands]]'' (1990).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/edward-scissorhands-10-things-didnt-know/|title=Edward Scissorhands: 10 things you didn't know about the film that made Johnny Depp a Hollywood star|last=Vincent|first=Alice|date=December 7, 2016|work=The Telegraph|access-date=January 18, 2018|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}}</ref>

In 1990, Price recorded the narration of the Phantom for the [[Phantom Manor]] attraction at [[Disneyland Paris]]. However, shortly after the ride opened in 1992, the narration was removed and replaced with one entirely in French, performed by Gérard Chevalier. Only Price's infamous laughter remained on the soundtrack. In 2018, during a major renovation, it was announced that parts of Price's narration would be restored. Since the 2019 reopening, the new tracks are dual-language; Price's original excerpts as well as previously unused material from his 1990 recording comprise the English-speaking portions, while actor [[Bernard Alane]] voices the Phantom in French.
