The Abominable Dr. Phibes is a deliberately campy 1971 British horror film directed by Robert Fuest, starring Vincent Price as the eponymous doctor and Joseph Cotten as his nemesis.Four years ago, in 1921, Victoria Phibes died after only six minutes on the operating table. While rushing to her side, her husband Anton Phibes, a brilliant organist with expertise in theology, medicine and automation, crashed his car, and was thought to have been killed. In truth, the horrifically burned man had survived, only to learn of the death of his wife. In despair, Phibes went into seclusion, swearing vengeance upon those he perceived responsible for the death of his only love.Now the year is 1925, and doctors have been perishing in disturbing and bizarre ways. At first, the only connections between them seem to be that the manner of their death is related in some way to one of the ten plagues of Egypt as outlined in the Old Testament, and that a silent, beautiful woman was nearby when they died. Yet there is one more connection between the doctors; a certain failed operation comes back to haunt them.But if there were ten plagues, and only nine people operated on Victoria... then for whom is the Plague of Darkness intended?Followed a year later by a sequel, Dr. Phibes Rises Again. Immediately after the Dr. Phibes films, Price starred in a Spiritual Successor to them, Theatre of Blood. | |

Rule of Cool: The grandiose gestures a cloaked Phibes does when playing the organ at the very beginning would make it very difficult to play an organ at all, but the theatricality matters the most here. Bats, rats, and locusts eat people when Doctor Phibes says they do, dammit! | |

Good Is Dumb | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_375bb8f2 | comment |
Good Is Dumb: Dr. Vesalius could've killed Phibes, then turned off the machine that would pour acid on his son, and then proceed to call the police. He even had a scalpel in his hand! The only reason for him to not do so seems to be this piece of dialogue: Another possible reason is his belief that Phibes has planned for contingencies, as witness this piece of dialogue: Even before, Dr. Vesalius was not the brightest person when he suggested Nurse Allen take a sleeping pill. In fairness, it was a common practice in many movies made before about the middle 1970s for doctors to give upset women sleeping pills or sedative shots if danger wasn't in plain sight, but she could have survived her fate if she was awake. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In real life, Vincent Price was an excellent chef and art expert. In the movie, Phibes cooks up a Brussels sprouts-based concoction in order to get locusts to eat a woman, and throws a withering Death Glare at Longstreet upon seeing an ugly piece of art in his room. The wax busts Phibes melts after each kill. And, indeed, the casting of Price as a vengeful and disfigured burn victim. Dr. Phibes' wife's full name is Victoria Regina Phibes. Victoria Regina was the name of a 1935 play starring Vincent Price. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: In the whole movie, but especially in the last scenes. Dr. Vesalius failed in a surgery with a team of 9 doctors. Then Phibes reveals his disfigured face, scaring the crap out of him and makes him operate on his son, alone, while constantly reminding him about the acid and playing organ. It's just unfair. More basic than that: the movie gives no indication that Dr. Vesalius and his team were negligent in any way, or committed any sort of malpractice. Phibes is just looking for someone to punish for his wife's death. | |

Animal Assassin | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_56352cc6 | comment |
Animal Assassin: Several of the murders make use of this. Phibes arranges for the first victim, Professor Thornton, to be stung to death by bees to emulate the plague of boils. The second victim, Doctor Dunwoody, is torn to shreds by bats. The sixth victim, Doctor Kitaj, has his plane filled with rats, causing him to panic and fatally crash it while they bite off pieces of his flesh. Finally, the 8th victim, Nurse Allen, is coated with a syrupy distillation of brussels sprouts so that a swarm of locusts will fatally gnaw her face off. | |

| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Well, except for Trout, and even he is powerless to prevent most of the deaths despite figuring out Phibes' modus operandi fairly early on. And even Trout falls prey to this trope in the case of Nurse Allen, who is sent to bed alone in a room at the hospital, without a constable or even another nurse to keep an eye on her. This, after being advised to take a sleeping pill and riding to her floor in an elevator with Phibes himself in it! | |

Lip Lock | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_5c048cd9 | comment |
Lip Lock: Completely averted; Phibes' throat is too damaged for normal speech, so he communicates by plugging himself into outlets and then - with science - speaking through them. Which is to say, Vincent Price acts his character in mime, and then supplies voiceover later. This made his only dialogue scene a bit tricky for Joseph Cotten, who didn't always know when to start speaking. | |

Clock Punk | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_6068c76b | comment |
Clock Punk: Phibes has a clockwork orchestra of automatons, and many of his deathtraps are spring-powered or otherwise fit this motif. Vulnavia may or may not be one of his clockwork automatons as well, but it's left ambiguous. She's explicitly called out as one in the script, but at the end of the film, she is killed after being showered in acid, and while don't see the results, when Trout and the others see her body, their looks of horror look like they're seeing a dead human body, and not merely a mechanism revealed bare. | |

Idiot Ball: Longstreet fawns all over a mysterious woman who breaks into his home. She is only able to tie him to a chair because he helpfully obliges. Inspector Trout takes multiple turns at holding the ball, most notably failing to connect the "plague of darkness" with the large, stylized depiction of a SOLAR ECLIPSE on the coffin-for-two Phibes rigged for himself and Victoria. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: No one wonders where Phibes' chauffeur went when Phibes' car crashed. There's only enough ash to make up one body. Everyone except Trout assumes that the one body is Phibes', but if he's known to have a chauffeur, they would wonder where his ashes went. And if he died... someone would notice he was gone. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: The film takes liberties with the nature and sequence of several of the biblical Ten Plagues. This could have been attributed to Phibes playing fast and loose with theology — had the rabbi Trout consults not confirmed the film's version of the list. Word of God confirmed that two of the plagues were changed because the FX budget wouldn't allow them to be effectively shown. | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment: Phibes' techniques for killing off his enemies involve such varied methods as impaling a man on a brass unicorn's horn (launched through his window from across the street), a contracting, crushing frog mask, and adorable flesh-eating bats.note They're fruit bats, which are imposingly large but have cute faces. | |

| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Complexity Addiction: Phibes' entire scheme in general, and some of his specific kills in particular. Let's just say it; there are easier ways to kill someone than to arrange for them to be sedated, paint them with boiled-up brussels sprouts, and then fill the room with hungry locusts and wait for them to be Eaten Alive. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
A Running Gag is that people keep getting Trout's name wrong and calling him after other types of fish. | |

Death Seeker | |

Death Seeker: Phibes himself. He wants to murder the entire surgical team first, but his ultimate plan is to die himself, since even having had revenge, it still won't be enough. | |
