  • Neither, Jeff. They would go away and practise because one of the jurymen would tell them that they were holding their spears the wrong way.

        Hi Caz
        Theatre of blood is in the Corman/poe/price series of movies which also includes the Raven, correct?

        Have you seen the Raven or the others? which is the best of that series?

              Theatre of Blood was not in the Corman Poe series, but is a Vincent Price masterpiece....The Raven is by far the funniest of the Corman Poe series....but Witchfinder General is probably the "best" as far as film goes...but I love all of them.....Masque of Red Death is also a great one where Price is particular creepy..

                The last shot of "The Pit and the Pendulum" is perhaps the most hopeless and creepy I've ever seen in any film.

                Love the Raven (Corman's, though I also like the one with Karloff and Lugosi in the 1930s), but "Comedy of Terrors" has some lovely moments in it, like a beatific looking Price listening to his wife singing, "He is but sleeping!" and telling another on-looker (without changing his facial look) he's hoping her vocal chords snap!

                • My favourite Price scene has to be the wine-tasting with Peter Lorre.

                  • Oh I also love the Raven with Lugosi and Karloff...but not as much as The Black Cat....possibly the greatest classic horror film ever made....Lugosi at the end is simply AMAZING....really shows his acting chops...a very dark film,especially for it's time!!!

                    • One Price film that isn't often mentioned - perhaps because he only appears in linking segments - is The Monster Club. If I remember correctly this has a funny middle story by R Chetwynd Hayes.

                      • Price and John Carradine in Monster Club.....I love that film....three tales of horror, plus the two Masters linking the stories from the Monster Club....a night club for monsters.....with musical performances including one by B A Robertson ( yes the same B A Robertson who wrote The Living Years for Mike and The Mechanics!!)....very underrated film Robert, I agree!!!!

                          • Did anyone see the recent movie-The Raven-with john Cusak as Poe?

                            I thought its a pretty good thriller.and I love bitter sweet endings.

                              I thought that was s brilliant. The looks and feel was spot on.
