Brush up on your Shakespeare and protect those poodles because we're covering our very first Vincent Price film in Douglas Hickox's horror comedy Theater of Blood (1973), a personal favorite of both Price and Diana Rigg.
Join us as we go all in on this somewhat episodic (but also educational!) proto-slasher, wondering if we're supposed to know that's Diana Rigg in hippie drag, and cackling at some of these murder set pieces.
Plus, "Handsy Dickman," narcissistic gravestones, antisemitic stage makeup, and the ultimate debate: is it theatER or theatRE?
C/W: Attempted suicide, off-screen dog murder.
