Moth scene like The Fly - Vincent Price version?

Near the end, Jabez catches the moth in his hands and hears a really high-pitched sound resembling Miser Stevens. OK nice ear drums, whatever. But I hear the moth saying something like, "Help me, Jabez Stone. Help me."

Actually, I hear the inflection of the words, not really the words. Sounds like someone is trying to talk through a slide whistle, kinda like the end of The Fly except you could understand the 1958 moron.

I posted a comment like this years ago but the admins apparently rejected it.
To this day there is more than simple coincidence between the moth scene and Andre's fate in "The Fly".

Quite deliberately I assume, the ancient greek word for soul, life and butterfly are the same.

Ugh! This scene made me shudder. It was awful. Not the scene itself or the actors, but I think y'all know what I'm talking about. It creeped me out.
