Oh my lord. That's so trainwrecky it almost sounds made up.
Or, you know, The Crow with (more) cars.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hmmm... I think I liked that movie the first time, when it was called The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Also, good steampunk values on display.

More deco than steampunk, I'd say. Although the frog mask probably counts as proto-steampunk.
Honestly, though, for Vincent Price I'll always take Theater of Blood since you get Shakespeare, Diana Rigg and Robert Morley being force fed his poodles to death.

My Vincent Price of choice: Tomb of Ligeia. Gorgeous Hammer studio locations, supercool weird 19th century sunglasses, and a really tormented, romantic performance.
Also, of course, Tim Burton's Vincent.

Well, in that case there's also Laura, even if it's just a (very good) supporting role.

Ahhh, Vincent rocks.
Phibes is a particularly elegant horror movie.
This tribute to Dr Phibes shows off the fab sets and his cool, mysterious, silent assistant.

Phibes is a particularly elegant horror movie.
Directed by Robert Fuest, who directed several episodes of the Avengers. You can see at lot of that influence in the Phibes movies.

It's cool seeing those Avengers-related movies. Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter was by Brian Clemens.

That one was an interesting take on vampires, in that vampires may have different stregnths, weaknesses and appetites depending on where you find them. The scene where he and an infected acquaintence try to figure out how to kill the breed of vampire in the movie by trying them out on the infected guy is both hilarious and horrible.
