Third Film
When I was young, I remember hearing that a third Phibes film had been planned. I even seem to remember Phibes Resurrectus being on an upcoming movies slate. I've always been disappointed that it never came to pass. Although I'm sure there could be numerous reasons, I wonder what happened to derail this film?
These movies, including Theater of Blood combined black comedy with elements of horror, and adding to that the wonderful characterizations of Vincent Price. The results were a lot of fun when I was growing up.
I truly miss Mr. Price. He was a class act.
Still, I wonder if this is a property that it may be time for someone to resurrect? I could easily see Geoffrey Rush playing Anton Phibes.
