Theatre of Blood (1973)
Rules Fulfilled:
Watch and Review 31 Horror Movies before Halloween (Plus 3 extra credit):
15/31
And here we are again, back to the 1970's. But at least there is Vincent Price this time.
As a theatre nerd and a horror fanatic, I have to have seen this one before. I mean, it has my name practically stamped on it: deranged actor murders his critics in the style of famous Shakespearean deaths. I must have seen it, right? Vincent Price? Diana Rigg? Surely I watched it before?!? This could not be any more up my alley!!
Except.
If I have, I did not remember a beat of it. Which might actually say more about the movie than it does me. It's gorgeous, hilarious but ultimately there isn't much to it.
It's a delightful romp overall, but high art it ain't.
Available on Hulu

I wanted to see this and it was on Shudder's "leaving soon list". Even though I fucking know that means "leaving the hot second you hit pause" I started ti watch it, I hit pause to get a beer and I can't find it again!!
I saw it through Netflix DVD, they have a ton of horror movies and movies from the 60's
