this thread makes me want to masturbate.

Has the internet met gay people? :mellow:

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).  Simply breathtaking, is it a revenge thriller?  Is it a comedy?  Is it production design porn?  It is all of these and more: it is a Vincent Price picture.  You need only add a score by Goblin and this movie is weirder than Suspiria half a decade later would ever try to be.

Inexplicable incident after inexplicable incident occurs, all revolving around the nine murders of the titular abominable one, who has deigned to kill the surgeons who let his wife die upon their operating table years ago.  He will do so with the unlikeliest death traps, based upon the famous Ten Plagues of Egypt, from locusts to hail to frogs to... bats?  This movie, I swear, involves a man being impaled by a brass unicorn, launched by catapult across a London street.  To quote the chief inspector of Scotland Yard, "Words fail me."  But letters do not: B+

I am now seriously considering saving up some scratch to get the Vincent Price Collection on blu ray, if the four AIP Poe pictures in it and Witchfinder General are nearly as cool as this.

Witchfinder General and The Masque of the Red Death are awesome.

The Abominable Doctor Phibes is an extravagant masterpiece of B-cinema, I utterly love that movie. The director, Robert Fuest, was pals with Anton LaVey (and probably a Satanist himself too) and that epicurean sense of the Occult and the dark clearly shows in his work. LaVey was an accomplished organist too, like Phibes.

The sequels aren't as good (and they had a much less hot Vulnavia), but they still have a few of those utterly crazy murder scenes that make you stand up and giggle like a madman.
