Theatre of Blood and Gross Poodle Pie Scene

Amongst the grossest scenes I have ever seen in a horror movie, I would cite the poodle pie scene in Theatre of Blood (1973) as one of the most difficult and nauseating to watch. Those who have seen this movie will know all too well exactly what I mean!

If anybody has not seen this classic Vincent Price chiller, the notorious "poodle pie" scene to which I refer involves the Robert Morley character being force fed a pie which has been wickedly baked by the Price character . . . with the added ingredient of poor old Mr Morley's two pet poodles!

You know, I have seen some real disturbing movies in my time, but honestly, I STILL cannot bear to watch Theatre of Blood without grimacing inwardly every time that scene comes on! Theatre of Blood was, truly, way ahead of its time in evoking such horrific, gut-wrenching scenes.

Would be interested to read all other members' opinions of this classic movie and its notorious "poodle pie" scene.
