Here Is Another Film,

that we both enjoyed watching a few months ago,


that you can now watch on YouTube, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, both Diana and myself enjoyed the comedy/horror so much,

and here it is, just click on the above, or here is the link, but remember it is not a new film, released in 1971, it does show it's age a tad, but great fun, below the plot from one reviewer on IMDB, 

'Vincent Price plays a "dead" man avenging the surgical team that lost his wife on the operating table. Nine doctors in all (one of them a nurse) are treated to nine of the most innovative, creative, outlandish deaths imaginable. The deaths loosely follow the Ten Plagues of the Old Testament, but each with a new twist. The film is an exercise in witty, stylish black comedy seldom seen today. Price gives one of his best performances in a role that barely utilizes his greatest attribute, his voice. Price relies heavily on movement and facial expressions, and does so wonderfully. The cast is superb with British stalwarts adorning the film all over. This film rejuvenated Price's career in the 70's. It is unique, poetic, haunting, and, for me the most important, very amusing. If you lack a sense of humour with regards to the world of the macabre, you might want to stay away from Phibes. It is a very dark, black comedy, yet one that is at its heart nothing more than a tragic love story of sorts'.

some of the sets especially Dr. Phibes home are so Art Deco, a style that we really like, if you have time and have not watched it before it is a great look at the 1970s horror movie scene.
