Theater of Blood (1973)


Theater of Blood (1973)

As we continue out look at Vincent Price horror movie trailers of the seventies, today we come across a gem: Theater of Blood.


Similiar to the Dr. Phibes movies, Price stars as Edward Lionheart a Shakespearean actor spurned by critics and thought dead when he took his own life. When those same critics start showing up dead, murdered by the most grizzly methods, the police begin to suspect that Lionheart has survived.


Where The Abominable Dr. Phibes used the Biblical plagues as a theme, Theater of Blood uses deaths found in the works of Shakespear as Lionheart's inspiration.


The film was directed by Douglas Hickox and written by Anthony Greville-Bell. The movie also stars Diana Rigg, Ian Hendry, Harry Andrews, Coral Browne and Robert Morely.


So here it is ... Theater of Blood
