Anecdotes
The film's opening credits include special participation by Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff. Both of these actors were long since dead, having died in the late 1960s (Rathbone in 1967 and Karloff in 1969); however, they appear in this film in clips from real films that they had each starred in with Vincent Price: Rathbone in L'empire de la terreur (1962) and Karloff in Le corbeau (1963).

Good cheesy fun

After a mental breakdown following the murder of his bride to be, famed horror actor Paul Toombes (Vincent Price) is persuaded to return to the Dr Death role that made him famous. He is persuaded by a writer friend of his Herbert Flay (Peter Cushing) who is also the scriptwriter of all the Dr Death movies. Soon Toombes finds his mind is again being tested as the series of mysterious deaths that plagued him before, returns. The police soon suspect Toombes of the crimes, but who is the mysterious masked and caped killer that is disrupting filming? Lots of campy and cheesy fun with some horror greats, there's actually some nice visuals too that I hadn't remembered from previous viewings. Not price's best but still good fun.
