Alternate version
I swear I recall a version of Dr Phibes where he rigged up a cicada to a platinum wire to wake him up in 17 years. Or was that some other horror film. This would have been about 1971. Please help my memory.
Some have suggested it was the sequel, but I have the DVD of both and that scene (with an expository voice-over) is not in either the original or the sequel. I'm reposting this because I think the thread got buried. My apologies if this is starting to look like spam.
I just gotta know...
