If Se7en and Hannibal are grand opera, The Abominable Dr. Phibes is Gilbert & Sullivan.

The insane storyline is just what you would expect from a deliriously appealing Vincent Price horror flick.

Vincent Price was an actor who never gave anything than his best possible performance at any given time.

Cool! Vincent Price goes on a killing spree using the Nine Plagues of Egypt as crib notes.

Grisly and amusing, but not quite amusing enough.

A wonderful horror outing for Vincent Price; a genre film with wit and style as well as goosebumps.

This one gave me nightmares when I first saw it in 1972. Okay, so I'm a whimp but the creepy camp is cool.
