Price was born to play the actor turned Shakespearean slayer in this delightful British gem. Killer support from Rigg in deadly man-drag. Terrific. 1973 #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #britishhorror #filmsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #horror #monsterfam - ThreadSky

This may be controversial (dont hate me) but *I don't like this poster*
Theatre of blood is an all time classic & a film EVERYONE should watch because it really is a masterclass in camp & horror/comedy. It's genius in fact. I just feel like this poster maybe gives the game away a bit too much

😂 I could never hate you! And I do love a bit of controversy.. 🎭😁

Do you know what year this poster is from at all? It seems very 80's to me 😅

This is a perfect film.
Vincent Price at his very best.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed on both points.. 🎭 🖤

One of my all-time favorite Price films.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's been my favourite Price film since I first saw it on late night TV as a kid. Absolute classic.

This is my favorite Vincent Price movie. He made every single movie he was in better because he was in it.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

He really did, and this is perhaps his best. Wonderful stuff.

You are so nailing it today. I love this film more than words can say. I may have to give it the umpteenth rewatch now!

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you, much appreciated! I share your love for this one, it's a favourite comfort film for me. Vincent Price at his very best.

A friend of mine decades ago used to say,”Vincent is the greatest ham of all time, and I mean that as a compliment.” Of course, he had great straight-up acting chops, but he was oh so delicious when he’d go all out!

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was, and this was just the perfect vehicle for him. Quite wonderful.

Great film, saw the play at The Southbank with Jim Broadbent.

Would love to have seen that. I've seen a few photographs from the production, looks great.

YES! Edward Lionheart is delightfully terrifying and dramatic.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Indeed! Like the man who portrays him, Lionheart is an absolute legend.... 🎭

ophelialoonyluv.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I'm also firmly convinced that Mr. Lionheart would be best friends with Dr. Phibes.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Most definitely....

Another 'The Price Is Right' movie.

One of my all time favourite horror films and probably my favourite Vincent Price film. Never bore of it. Amazing cast.
Smersh pod did a really good and very funny run through here:

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Same here, it's long been my favourite Price film. Thanks for this link, I'll check it out....

monkeymanbob.bsky.social•1 day ago

Classic double with this & Dr Phibes

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cracking pair, an excellent double bill. Great fun, and Price at his very best....

monostich.bsky.social•1 day ago

Price’s finest hour.

libretio.bsky.social•1 day ago

Indeed it is. How he didn't get an Oscar nomination for this - his signature performance, bar none, IMO - I just do not know. I suspect bias played a part because this was 'just' a horror film, and we all know how the critical 'intelligentsia' feels about the genre. But my god, Price is superb here.

screamqueenobv.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's abhorrent to me that he didn't win more awards. Ironic really.

horrorposterguy1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed, it's been my favourite Price film since first seeing it as a kid.
