Theater of Blood (1973) [w/Commentary]

Edward Lionheart (Vincent Price) is incensed that his last season of performances in Shakespearean plays did not win him a prestigious acting award from critics. After an unsuccessful attempt at suicide, Lionheart is rescued by a group of drug-addicted bums. He then sets out to murder all of his critics, each with a different style of death taken from a Shakespeare play. When Lionheart faces head critic Peregrine Devlin (Ian Hendry), he offers Devlin a second chance to bestow the award.



Audio commentary with Jeremy Dyson, Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith. This is a light and quite entertaining commentary with plenty of hilarious anecdotes (including a rather zesty one), interesting comments about the film's production history and the careers and personal lives of select actors, Vincent Price's body of work, etc.
