That piece of info makes me like Keith Moon even more!

I wish I had read this before I saw this movie, instead of afterward.

Oh well, I think I'll pour me a drink ...

Love this movie, especially the Art Direction.

You are right: This film had an incredible look that was alternately beautiful and horrifying. So much imagination went into the set design, costumes and makeup. And it also had a top-notch cast.

Some guy your wicked Uncle Ernie knew.

Maybe Keith had gotten sick of the drums by then (but MAAAN, could he play!), and wanted to start learning to play the organ. So who better to turn to than Dr. Phibes??!!? MAKES SENSE TO ME.

RIP, Keith (and John Entwistle)

Of ALL the movies that HollyWeird could remake (Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Harvey, Death Wish, etc., etc., etc, THIS makes the MOST sense: A Dr. Phibes
revival! I'd pay to see it!!! Vincent Price? No, he's dead, how 'bout with Christopher Lee?????????
