The Abominable Dr. Phibes



The Abominable Dr. Phibes is a 1971 British horror/comedy starring Vincent Price and Joseph Cotton. From Wikipedia:
The film follows the title character, Phibes, who blames the medical team that attended to his wife for her death four years prior and sets out to exact vengeance on each one using the plagues of Egypt.[4] Phibes is inspired in his murderous spree by the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Old Testament.[5]

What a shame the video is unavailable. I loved the Dr. Phibes movies. Especially the giant grasshoppers.

If it's British, why is there a period after Dr?

That's a British thing? I guess Americans typed it, both me and the YouTube uploader.

I love Vincent Price because he never seemed to take himself too seriously.
I remember him on one of the talk shows describing going to a NYC theater and sitting behind two teen girls who were hanging on to each other nervously.
At the end of the film he leaned over with his face between them and said as only he can, "Did you enjoy that?" They both screamed and ran from the theater.
