This fondly remembered horror film is part of the Shakespeare on Film season at BFI Southbank. You can find the full details here.
BFI Southbank intro:
The Bard’s penchant for cruelty is gleefully exploited in this
devilishly macabre black comedy of terrors. Vincent Price is Edward
Lionheart, a vengeful actor seeking bloody payback on the critics who so
callously denied him the recognition he felt he deserved. Featuring a
slew of inventive death scenes inspired by Shakespeare plays, this campy
slice of Grand Guignol was a personal favourite of Price himself.
