Anecdotes
Joseph Cotten would grumble on the film's set that he had to remember and deliver lines, while Vincent Price's were all to be post-dubbed. Price responded "Yes, but I still know them, Joe." In fact, Price was well-known in Hollywood for his ability to memorize all of the characters' lines in a given production, not just his own.

Gaffes
Virginia North smiles broadly as she dances with Vincent Price. Her face is concealed most of the time, but if you look closely, you can see her face for a moment and she is clearly trying not to laugh at Price's deliberately campy performance.

Citations
Waverley: A brass unicorn has been catapulted across a London street and impaled an eminent surgeon. Words fail me, gentlemen.

Crédits fous
The film's cast list is divided into five sections: "The Protagonists", "The Girl", "The Victims", "The Law" and "Interested Parties".

Versions alternatives
The Spanish-language version of the film features an almost completely different music soundtrack. The French-language version of it also features some subtle differences in the music soundtrack.

7/10

Campy cult classic with perfect performance...

1st watched 12/11/2004 - 7 out of 10(DIr-Robert Fuest): Campy cult classic with perfect performance and role by Vincent Price who does most of the job through his facial expressions and presence. The story revolves around a dead-like "Dr. Phibes" playing his organ, directing music, dancing and ceremoniously killing off the surgeons who failed to fix his wife after a car accident. He uses the Pharoah's curses as the basis for each killing and he inventively makes each one unique and grins and even applauds himself after one demise. Some subtle British humor is also thrown in for extra but all that's needed with this one is Price and this role to make it classic horror-camp.
