Theater of Blood

In this cult classic horror-comedy, Vincent Price plays Edward Kendall Sheridan Lionheart, a deranged Shakespearean actor who takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition. With the help of his adoring daughter Diana Rigg, Lionheart kills each critic in a manner inspired by death scenes from the Bard's plays, reenacting murders from Julius Caesar to The Merchant of Venice. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that nothing can stop Lionheart's bloody quest for revenge, fueled by his own ego and desire for artistic validation.
