Horror Comedies from the1970s, Doc selects the often overlooked or outright forgotten horror comedy from the Seventies, ARNOLD (1973), from director Georg Fenady (Terror in the Wax Museum), featuring Stella Stevens and Roddy McDowall. ARNOLD (1973)  Episode 260 - Decades of Horror 1970s The various murders are set up in a way The Abominable Dr. Phibes would relish and in the fashion of an imaginative whodunit or Giallo film. The humor is old-fashioned and more suitable for TV than the cinema. The cast - Stella Stevens, Roddy McDowall, Ella Lanchester - are quite a joy to watch. Some of the humor lands but most of it falls a bit flat. Mileage varies. D'oh! Regardless, the Grue-Crew weigh in on the film and discuss the merits of the script, the positives of the direction, the fun interactions with the cast, and the often laughable demises... Synopsis: "After his death, a wealthy man starts killing his greedy and selfish family members, accompanied by audiotapes explaining how and why, but who's actually doing all the killing?" - IMDb "Arnold is dead. And a newlywed. Don't miss his honeymoon!?" - tagline Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1970s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1970s.
