A horror spoof in which a funeral director, who is in arrears on his rent, aggressively pursues customers to bolster his business-and the fact that they haven't died yet doesn't seem to dissuade him.

A nice dark comedy about a couple of people who run a funeral home and kill people just to get more customers. It ends up being very amusing, with a lot of chaotic mischief. Really great for a cheesy old film.
I can't believe when I was told about this site, that I would find my second fave VP movie here...it's hard to buy on dvd as of late...thank you! And why is it so absurd that VP would only do horror? Real movie buffs don't assume, they watch first then form an opinion...this movie and House of Wax are my top fave for VP and they are wayyyy different from each other!
I saw this movie years ago and bought the DVD. It is NOT a horror film but a slick, quirky comedy about a wife-hating, drunken, slothful mortician [superbly played by Price] and his meek, incompetent, wife-coveting assistant [the brilliant Peter Lorre]. As I recall, it was written by the master Richard Matheson. Very dry humor. Not mentioned in the cast here is Joyce Jameson as Price's much maligned wife. She is an aspiring opera singer with a voice of a chain saw! Boris Karloff is very funny as her deaf father. The incredible Basil Rathbone plays the potential "next customer" for the funeral home and that proves to be a hilarious series of lessons in how not to commit a murder. This is a rare gem of a film, not only because of the unusual story but also because of the fantastic cast in such unexpected roles. Give it a try for your own pleasure!
what i cannot understand is how it got a 4 star rating.....had to be because of the cast: vincent price, peter lorre, boris karloff........ i was looking forward to a real tale of horror but i fell asleep instead. great film for all those insomniacs out there. the main characters must have been bribed to perform in this movie. mahalo from puna on the big island of hawaii
