The Comedy of Terrors

In this mix of laughs and scares, unsuccessful mortician Waldo Trumbull (Vincent Price) and sleazy assistant Felix Gillie (Peter Lorre) resort to murder in order to drum up some much-needed business. But the joke may be on them when it turns out their latest victim (Basil Rathbone) has a medical condition that makes it appear as though he won't stay dead. Boris Karloff, Joyce Jameson, Beverly Powers, and Joe E. Brown also star; Jacques Tourneur directs from a script by Richard Matheson. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette; theatrical trailer.
