“Arnold is dead. And a newlywed. Don't miss his honeymoon!”

The premise
Karen marries Arnold at his funeral and continues to get his money as long as she stays by his coffin. Meanwhile, various oddball relatives after Arnold's wealth are being killed in a creative variety of ways.
Horror Vault's take
A scheming widow takes her vows at the graveside of her newly deceased husband Arnold, entitled to his fortune so long as she remains loyal to his coffin. When the eccentric relatives circling Arnold's estate begin meeting ghastly, inventive ends, it becomes clear that death may not have dulled Arnold's protective instincts one bit. This gleefully morbid early-70s romp revels in its own absurdity, blending whodunit mystery with gleefully dark humour. With a cast of seasoned character actors chewing the scenery, it plays like a macabre parlour game where the body count is the punchline.
