Theatre of Blood is black comedy played for chills and mood and emerges a macabre piece of wild melodramatics.

Gory, imaginative, wildly melodramatic -- good fun.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader

Comedy horror that really does give Vincent Price a chance to do his stuff, with deliciously absurd results.
