- Theatre of Blood (Much Ado about Murder) (1973) [Horace Sprout]: Decapitated (off-screen) by Vincent Price while Arthur and his wife (Joan Hickson) are lying drugged in bed; his body is shown afterwards when Joan wakes up and Arthur's head falls off. (This is however setting aside the fact, that a decapitation would spur blood so massively).
