THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES (1971)

The trailer for 1971’s THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES. Directed by Robert Fuest from a script by James Whiton and William Goldstein. The film stars Vincent Price, Joseph Cotten, Virginia North, Terry-Thomas, Sean Bury, Susan Travers, Peter Gilmore, Edward Burnham, Peter Jeffrey, David Hutcheson, Alex Scott, and Norman Jones.

The plot summary is as follows:

Doctors are being murdered in bizarre manners - bats, bees, a killer frog mask, etc. - which represent the nine Biblical plagues of Egypt. The crimes are orchestrated by an organ-playing, demented madman (from his home base, replete with a clockwork orchestra and help from a beautiful, mute assistant). Detectives are stumped until they find that all the slain doctors once assisted a Dr. Vesalius on an unsuccessful operation involving the wife of organist Dr. Phibes, killed in a car crash upon learning of his wife's death. He couldn't be the culprit, could he?

THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES is not currently streaming anywhere or available for digital rental/purchase. (Though a new Blu-ray is coming from Scream Factory next week)
