When I watched The Comedy of Terrors yesterday I couldn't help but think of something I read not long ago while researching a bit about Price and Lorre. Also it was Rathbone's hand creeping from his burial coffin in his mausoleum that sparked Lugosi to mind. Anyone who visits here kind of gets that I hold a great fondness for Lugosi so Price saying Lorre commented about possibly putting a stake in his heart "just in case" during Bela's funeral kind of hangs there like a reminder of what their relationship might've been like. The kind of sense of humor these titans of horror must have had. I envision Price and Lorre standing side by side as Lugosi wore his cape, lying in the coffin, only a sense of humor to quell the enormity of the loss. It's that partnership that really summons the jollies of the funny bone's tickle.
