From Jacques Tourneur, director of numerous horror classics including Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie and Night of the Demon, comes The Comedy of Terrors a gleefulIy macabre tale which brings together genre greats Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. Price plays WaIdo TrumbulI, a perpetuaIIy 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 Iandlord Mr. Black (BasiI Rathbone) threatens to put him out on the street for faIIing behind with the rent, TrumbuII, together with his reIuctant and bumbling assistant FeIix Gillie (Lorre), hatches an ill-advised pIan to kiIl two birds with one stone , so to speak... The penultimate directoriaI effort from Tourneur, The Comedy of Terrors bears many of the haIImarks of the master filmmaker s earIier works, whilst adding a healthy dash of humour to the proceedings. CarefuI you might just die Iaughing!
