Everyone in this movie delivers an A+ comedy performance. As the front runners of course Vincent Price and Peter Lorre who are just a great comedic duo, playinf off each other perfectly, Price the asshole and Lorre the nice guy.
Also a great performance by Boris Karloff as an old man, Joyce Jameson as the singing wife and Basil Rathbone as the unkillable Landlord. Even Joe E. Brown in his small scene is funny.
It's all really silly, but lots of fun, especially if you like any of these actors (and who doesn't). With this and The Raven, 1963 was certainly the best year for star studded horror comedies.
I'm rating this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars.
