...where some type of green goo gets poured on some woman's face and then a bunch of locusts come to eat the green goo and subsequently eat her face off? I am looking for a movie from my childhood that has this scene in it, and all I can remember is that the title had the number 7 in it, and then something about a doctor.

No, sorry, wrong film!
So what I told you was true... From a certain point of view
You're thinking of THE ABOMINABLE DR PHIBES with Vincent Price. No '7' in that title though.
shareYes, the movie is THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES. While there is no "7" in the title, a number is very significant to the plot. Phibes uses the "9" (nine) Biblical plagues to kill off the people that were responsible for his wife's death. Perhaps, that is the number you are thinking of.
shareSounds like a scene from "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" with Vincent Price. The green goo is cooked down from cabbages, if I recall (unless it was the sequel, "Dr. Phibes Rises Again"...I forget just now). But no, there is no such scene in "7 Faces..."
shareIt was the Abominable Dr. Phibes. The sequel is titled "Dr. Phibes rises again" and dealt with his search for a mystical gate to the underworld or some such place where he could take his wife's body to restore her to life and gain immortality as well. The woman who lost her face was a nurse that had been on call when Dr. Phibes and his wife arrived at the hospital. The wife died and Dr. Phibes blamed the hospital staff for her death.
Couldnt find a place to put my two cents worth in this 'Dr Lao love fest' here on the boards. So this looks good. I would have prefered to have seen the Abominable Dr Phibes again than this thing. My least favorite George Pal project ( huge Time Machine/War of the worlds fan). I recall it being a Tony Randall showcase, and not completely buying the routine. Though the scene where his truth telling fortune teller, giving the old lady the sad realities of her existance, was an interesting moment, it just reminded me of that weird sequence in Willy Wonka where he goes off the comedy into some creepy wtf poetry monologe. And wasnt there a Shane ending in there as well? This thing appears to have a following, but I guess Im not one of the crowd praising George Pals 'aint I cool' hipster movie ;)
