Audience Reviews

Wiccaburr 8/10 Oct 06, 2020
This was quite the fun and good movie.
I'm loving Vincent Price as an undertaker.
The movie from start to finish is crazy.
Especially the finale of the movie.

It was hard who was stealing the show, everyone was doing some great performances in this horror comedy. It might not be for everyone but this was right up my alley.

Let's not forget Cleopatra (the cat) in this movie. Definitely worth watching if you want some spooky atmosphere with your dark comedy.
