Which 1953 horror film was the first to be filmed in 3D and stars Vincent Price?

The 1953 horror film associated with the breakthrough of 3D cinema and starring Vincent Price is House of Wax. Price plays Henry Jarrod, a sculptor who rebuilds a wax museum after a fire, secretly using murdered victims as the basis for his new displays.

Directed by André de Toth for Warner Bros., House of Wax was a remake of the 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum. It premiered in New York on April 10, 1953, and became the first 3D film with stereophonic sound to be presented in a regular theater, as well as the first color 3D feature released by a major American studio.

The wording “first to be filmed in 3D” can be misleading because earlier experimental and feature-length 3D productions existed. House of Wax is the fair canonical answer because it was the landmark commercial release that helped launch the early-1950s 3D craze. André de Toth was blind in one eye and therefore could not personally experience the stereoscopic effect, yet the film emphasized atmosphere and suspense rather than relying only on objects thrust toward the camera.
