4.0 out of 5 stars Where is the widescreen DVD???, March 4, 2001

C'mon MGM, get on the ball and release this on widescreen DVD! Having said that, this film has a great cast. Price, Karloff, Lorre and Rathbone all play off each other extremely well, and Richard Matheson's script is pretty amusing at times. Another winner from AIP. I can't wait until MGM finally gets around to releasing the rest of Price's AIP films (especially "The Raven") and the rest of the beach films with Annette Funicello. The DVD's currently available in MGM's Midnight Movie series are a definite improvement over the pan and scan prints that have been available on video over the last several years. Thanks for that, but keep them coming!

This review is from: The Comedy of Terrors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Comedy of Terrors is one of the funniest movies to come out of the 60s. My entire family just fell apart on the couch watching it. You've Vincent Price as the nasty undertaker. You have Peter Lorre as the picked on humble assistant, you've Boris Karloff as the sleepy and near deaf father in law. Oh and add Basil Rathbone as the Shakespeare loving landlord who won't stay dead and you've an incredible piece of black comedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drunk again, huh?, September 30, 2002

This review is from: Comedy of Terrors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I LOVE this film!! Vincent Price is just hysterical as the undertaker who needs to drum up some business, Peter Lorre is great as the assistant, Basil Rathbone is the landlord who wants his year's rent, and Boris Karloff just can't hear a thing. "What? Sugar?? There ya go!" Basil just keeps on coming back to life, quoting from "Hamlet" as he goes along, and Peter Lorre laments about his dear Annabel. Joyce Jamison is Annabel, who is Felix Gillie's love interest. Annabel is married to Waldo (Vincent Price) and Boris Karloff is her father. The funeral speech by Karloff is just priceless. Needless to say, as soon as Rathbone's character is buried we hear: "What place is this??" Great. If you haven't seen this movie yet, YOU HAVE TO!! And I agree with the comment: "Where is the DVD??" Get with it MGM, we still need this one and The Raven, and The Tomb of Ligeia....I have to finish my Vincent Price DVD collection!
