(1936, Upgraded 10/27/21) Tod Slaughter, Stella Rho, John Lister, Eve Lister, D.J. Williams. Tod's most famous film. Two maniacs murder for profit, hack up the bodies, and then sell thim in meat pies. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it. The scenes of Todd dumping his victims from his barber chair, backwards through a secret floor panel into his musty basement below really packed a jolt back in 1936. Quite grisly even by today's standards, especially the pie-eating scene at the end of the film. Nobody ever had more fun being mean that Tod. From a very nice 35mm print.
