This is Number 25 in a series of 25, 26, or so bits of holiday nonsense that I've put together over the years. 🙂

Vincent Price in “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”  (1971) and “Dr. Phibes Rises Again” (1972)

Phibes seeks revenge against those he holds responsible for the death of his wife. suffering from an unnamed disease she died on the operating table. 

Phibes kills the doctors and nurse he blames for her ‘murder’. Each death is based on one of the ten plagues of Egypt as described in Exodus. After completing his task Phibes self-embalms and seals himself in a tomb with his wife.

Being dead is no reason to halt a profitable story so American International made a sequel.
