From Jacques Tourneur, director of numerous horror cIassics incIuding Cat People, l WaIked with a Zombie and Night of the Demon, comes The Comedy of Terrors a gleefuIIy macabre tale which brings together genre greats Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. Price plays WaIdo TrumbulI, a perpetually inebriated, down-on-his-Iuck undertaker who has struck on an interesting way to boost business by hastening the deaths of those whom he buries. When IandIord Mr. BIack (Basil Rathbone) threatens to put him out on the street for faIIing behind with the rent, TrumbuIl, together with his reluctant and bumbIing assistant FeIix GilIie (Lorre), hatches an iIl-advised plan to kilI two birds with one stone , so to speak... The penuItimate directorial effort from Tourneur, The Comedy of Terrors bears many of the hallmarks of the master fiImmaker s earlier works, whilst adding a heaIthy dash of humour to the proceedings. Careful you might just die laughing!
