Classic Horror Comedy Stars Pose With Arms Full Of Cats, Vintage Feline Photoshoot

Some of you might be familiar with the folks featured in this delightful vintage series, that's because they are the acting stars of a classic, The Comedy of Terrors. The Comedy of Terrors is a very broad horror-comedy that recycles some of the cast and elements from Tales of Terror (1962). It stars horror veterans Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff. It also stars Rhubarb (also known as Orangey!) the cat, who gets billed above Rathbone, and a "special guest star" on the poster.

Rhubarb plays Cleopatra, a marmalade cat whom we follow downstairs into the basement at the start of the film to get our first sight of Lorre, who is attempting to cobble together a coffin. The cat often acts as the audience's eyes and ears; he is a classic catagonist. He drinks from Karloff's teacup, curls up on Karloff's chest, and is shown responding to events. This delightful series of photos capturing the stars of The Comedy Of Terrors with arms full of cats reminds us of the lighthearted nature of the feline, and how much fun and delight they bring to pretty much any situation.
