It's hard to believe, but the horror spoof goes under despite this awesome cast.

Reviews for The Comedy of Terrors
The film is grand slapstick, and the performances are funnier the more often you see it.
There's some terrific comic interplay, and director Jacques Tourneur (Night of the Demon) keeps it all looking good and moving forward. Nonetheless, this is an 84-minute film spun from 42 minutes worth of material.
You can't go wrong with the creepy combo of Price, Lorre, Rathbone, and Rhubarb the Cat!
