JUST ADDED: The Abominable Dr. Phibes screenwriter William Goldstein will join us IN PERSON, schedule permitting, at our Saturday, April 22, show for a Q&A following his film, moderated by Justin Humphreys (author of an upcoming book on the Phibes films).
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.
Ariel Schudson discusses The Abominable Dr. Phibes on the New Beverly blog.
