To celebrate Charlie’s third and final wrist surgery on Wednesday, we are diving into the brilliantly campy medical revenge wreaked by THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES! Vincent Price stars as the bad doctor (a Ph.D. in music and theology, technically), a man dead set on exacting ludicrous punishment on the medical professionals he believes are responsible for his wife’s untimely passing on the operating table. This film must be seen to be believed: A mechanical puppet band! Over-the-top Passover-inspired torture stunts worthy of the *Saw *franchise! Gorgeous art-deco sets and costumes! A sassy Joseph Cotton as the detective on the trail! Incredible prosthetic work! So much goo!
This stylish horror comedy is a one of a kind experience, and maybe the only movie that could be said to equally inspire Phantom of the Paradise and Se7en. You don’t want to miss it.
