Say goodbye to Week 2 of the Countdown to Halloween. It's crunch time, folks. Hang the last of the decorations up and get the last of the materials for your costume now before it's too late! And also check out more great Halloween blogs at the official site of the Countdown!
Being Friday, it's movie time once again, and this week I have a good one--the 1973 Vincent Price vehicle Theatre of Blood!
Price plays Shakespearean actor Edward Lionheart (how's that for a name?), who becomes enraged with jealousy when he feels slighted by many well-respected critics. He therefore does the only understandable thing an actor of his caliber would do--he murders the critics one by one in gruesome ways, often in ways that mirror happenings in Shakespeare's plays. Can anyone stop this homicidal Hamlet? The film also stars Diana Rigg (The Avengers, Game of Thrones).
Tune in and see. Enjoy! Have a great weekend! Patronize my advertisers!

I just watched this for the first time earlier this year I found a long box VHS copy. Loved the crap out of this flick! If you would like here is the link to my review https://mda4life.blogspot.com/2018/04/its-curtains-for-his-critics.html#comments
Watch this as a kid on TV - those poodles still haunt me!
Thank you both! I love to get such positive reactions. Bob, I'll check out your review!
This is arguably Price's best work - he gets to play a hammy actor *playing* several very different roles!
