 |
| Cover of the
film's pressbook. |
Elisabeth
Bergner, who started her career costarring with Laurence
Olivier, appeared here as a witch. |
No matter how
much AIP insists, Poe had absolutely nothing to do with the
film! |
1971
The Abominable Dr. Phibes as Dr. Anton Phibes
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Price's make-up had to make
it look as though he was wearing a mask to hide his horribly
burned features. |
Phibes gazes at the stars. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Phibes offers
his lovely assistant, Vulnavia, some champagne. |

some locusts... |
...take care
of another victim! |
Joseph Cotten
as Dr. Vesalius, Phibes' final victim. Price and
Cotten first worked together in the 1930's. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| An industry
ad for Phibes. AIP never did make 'House of the Seven
Gables,' and 'Gingerbread House' eventually became 'Who Slew
Auntie Roo?' |
'Phibes' was
promoted as being Price's 100th film and garnered more
publicity for that reason. |
The Phibes
likeness was licensed to the makers of high-end latex masks. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Some playful
nonsense on the cover of the film's pressbook. |
Designer
Brian Eatwell's fantastic art deco sets are seen to good
advantage. |

Phibes! |

Fantastic early promotional material for the film.
Peter Cushing was originally slated to costar as Phibes'
nemesis, Dr. Vesalius. |

Rare still of a scene apparently
removed from the final film! |

Phibes' mask
make-up was even more theatrical in this film. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Some of the ad art resembled the pictures-in-the-face style
of Price's earlier 'Masque of the Red Death.' |
|
 |
 |
|
| Frankie Howerd visits the
set to joke with Price. Some sources have reported
that the comic was supposed to have appeared in one of the
Phibes films. |

|
The cover of Famous Monsters featured a beautiful painting
of Price in his Dr. Death make-up. |
When the film was announced in this AIP annual report, it
was to be titled 'The Revenge of Dr. Death.' It was
released under that title in Australia. |

disaster documentary narrated by Vincent Price. |
Chris and the Magical Drip
[short] as Himself
1979
Scavenger Hunt as Milton Parker
|
 |
 |
| You'd think
that with a cast this big they'd find a spot for Vincent's
name on the ads! |
However, his
non-speaking, pre-credits death scene was considered a
cameo. |

|
 |
 |
 |
|
Even when not playing Dracula, Christopher Lee has a hard
time with pointed objects! |
Poor Louise English just washed her face in acid! |
Carradine, Keith, Cushing and Price share some brandy. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The film's greatest detriment was Desi Arnaz Jr. as the
romantic lead. Here he faces off with Vincent Price |
Arnaz and 'the girl,' Julie Peasgood. |
Sheila Keith bids farewell to 'brother' John Carradine. |

Animator
Richard Williams, voice actor Vincent Price and model for
the Phido character, in 1968 when the film was begun.
