Vague childhood memory of watching an old B&W creepy movie, very likely a Vincent Price movie, but I cannot pick it out from his imdb listings.

What I remember: It seemed to be about wreaking vengeance, or just straight out psychopathically killing people in creative ways.... the Vincent Price movies that seem to be about this subject, don't address the specific scene that is burned into memory.

One of the killings is a man being forced to eat his own dogs made into pies. I remember the villain revealing that the pies are his victim's pets by sweeping aside a curtain, revealing two piles of hair. Then, I believe, the victim was tied to the table and the pies were forced into him through a funnel.

Anyone know what movie this is?

Best answer: My movie geek husband immediately suggested "Theatre of Blood. Thee scene as described in Wikipedia:

the effeminate Meredith Merridew is tricked into eating his "babies" (his beloved poodles) just as Queen Tamora was fed the flesh of her two sons, baked in a pie, in the climax of Titus Andronicus

Best answer: Yeah, it's Theatre of Blood. In color, but that scene is a positive ID.
