Anecdotes
There was a lot of hostility between Vincent Price and Robert Quarry, particularly when Price discovered that American International Pictures was planning to replace him with Quarry as their major horror film star. At one point, when Price discovered Quarry singing opera, Quarry said "I'll bet you didn't know I could sing, did you?", to which Price replied "Well, I knew you weren't a fucking actor."

Gaffes
At the end of the film, which takes place in 1928, Phibes sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", a song that was first recorded in 1938, 10 years later.

Citations
Inspector Trout: I'm a bit apprehensive about finding the others, sir. Do you think you know where we are?
Sir Wayne Waverley: Trout, I don't think; I know.
Inspector Trout: I don't think you know either, sir.

Crédits fous
This time, Phibes laughs just before the last chord of the music after the credits.

Versions alternatives
In later prints of the film and in the original home video version of it, a scene featuring Vincent Price singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is removed, supposedly for copyright reasons. The film's 2001 DVD version restores the Vincent Price-sung song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Comedic Horror and Vincent Price

The juxtapositioning of lame one-liners and overused sight gags with some rather memorable and disturbing murders are what this film is all about. Its all of a rather low quality in virtually all respects, yet with Vincent Price as a diabolical lead, the many foibles are easily overlooked. Phibes has risen from suspended animation and once more has a bee in his bonnet for those who killed his wife and took away his face. He's not content with simply killing them. Oh no, each murder is creative, elaborate and basically nonsensical in their conception. But still horrific somehow. There's no sport in criticizing the plot, questions like why Phibes conjures these nasty deaths for the lackeys of his enemy who are all actually ignorant and innocent of any wrongdoing. Then he chooses to reason with the one man who is actually trying to destroy him. Very EC comic inspired, and if you like that sort of thing, you will like this film. Keep this away formt he impressionable kids though. I saw this when I was really young, and the images were emblazened on my brain for all time. Beware!!!
