I just noticed your tag line! Dr Phibes is one of my favorites! I also like Theater of Blood a lot too, Shakespeare, Vincent Price, Diana Rigg, what more could you ask for in a film?

I know...great movie! I had to cut the quote a bit because there isn't enough space for all of it. Phibes the perfect black comedy & IMO the greatest "B" movie of all time. Slasher movies have never creeped me out (except maybe pinhead), but draining the blood out of that doctor a pint at a time and lining those bottles up on the hearth sent chills up my spine. Phibes is so charming, but such a sicko. Never expected him to save the last plague for himself, I thought he'd try to kill Trout. After I thought about it though, it was appropriate...had to go out his own unique way...he did have style. Anyway, I figured a movie with doctors getting killed in bizarre ways based on the plagues Moses sent to the Egyptians was perfect for this equally bizarre "situation".
