The Abominable Doctor Phibes (1971)

The first Dr. Phibes film, starring Vincent Price and a host of familiar faces of British movies and television in a riotous romp of revenge and murder. To pay for the death of his beautiful wife Victoria, the insane doctor plans nine biblical murders, each in the style of a curse against the Egyptian Pharaoh. Locusts, rats and a brass unicorn head fired from a catapult all play their parts in this evil plan, and Uncle Vincent displays his usual sly humour and charm.He is aided and abetted by the silent Vulnavia (Virginia North) and several crazy gadgets, plus the incompetent antics of the police, headed by Peter Jeffery as Chief Inspector Bream...or is it Codd...or Salmon....no, it's TROUT! See how many faces you can name as you enjoy this very funny outing! The second Dr. Phibes movie coming SOON courtesy of your host SNEAKY ELEPHANT!
