Double Feature

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

A gruesomely humorous mix of sardonic wit, high camp horror and stunning Art Deco design, The Abominable Dr. Phibes towers as one of filmdom’s greatest terror fantasies. In a signature role, Vincent Price stars as a diabolical doc / demented organ player knocking off the men he holds responsible for his wife’s death. As the mad doctor unleashes bees, bats, frogs and other biblical plagues against his victims, he proves that revenge is often the best medicine.

Featuring a British dream team of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Denholm Elliott plus Hammer Films fave Ingrid Pitt!
