The movie stars Vincent Price as Waldo Trumbull, a down-on-his-luck undertaker who resorts to unscrupulous methods to generate business, including helping people meet their demise sooner rather than later. Boris Karloff plays Amos Hinchley, Waldo's elderly and nearly deaf business partner, who often finds himself caught up in Waldo's schemes. Peter Lorre portrays Felix Gillie, their bumbling and alcoholic assistant. Additionally, Basil Rathbone plays Mr. Black, a wealthy but ailing man who becomes a target for Waldo's dubious services.
The plot of "The Comedy of Terrors" revolves around the absurd and macabre situations that arise as Waldo and his associates carry out their dark deeds and attempt to profit from death. The film uses a combination of slapstick comedy and witty dialogue to create a humorous and satirical take on the horror genre.

"The Comedy of Terrors" is considered a cult classic and is appreciated for its unique blend of horror and comedy. It was released during a period when American International Pictures (AIP) was producing a series of successful Edgar Allan Poe adaptations starring Vincent Price, and this film further added to Price's reputation as a horror icon.
The film's dark humor and playful approach to horror make it a noteworthy entry in the horror-comedy subgenre, and it continues to be enjoyed by fans of classic horror cinema and those with a taste for macabre humor.
