The Tragedy of Macbeth x Throne of Blood

Welcome back to the Morgue!

Double, double, toil and trouble. It’s a bloody day as the Morticians take on two cinematic adaptations of William Shakespeare’s “Scottish play”; both in grayscale and boasting formidable casts, but with 65 years and a wealth of cultural difference between them. No more boasting like a fool—this episode you’ll play before the purpose cools! Scrub in!
