Dr. Phibes Rises Again
The eminent Dr. Phibes awakens from a decade of suspended animation and heads to Egypt with the corpse of his dead wife, which he intends to resurrect by murdering people in strange and heinous ways.
Why it matters
Dr. Phibes Rises Again delivers a uniquely macabre blend of gothic horror and dark comedy, anchored by Vincent Price’s charismatic turn as the vengeful, undead antihero.
- Vincent Price at his theatrical best, balancing camp and menace with effortless charm.
- A stylish sequel that expands the original’s mythos with Egyptian mysticism and bizarre murder set pieces.
- Practical effects and inventive death traps crafted by the KNB of their day—imaginative, grotesque, and delightfully over-the-top.
- For fans of horror that wears its pulp influences proudly, merging Hammer-esque atmosphere with ‘70s cult flair.
