I spotted the frog mask in Doctor Who "The Twin Dilemma." I did a double take when I saw it. It's in Mestor's chamber.

"Head Shrinker" Ha ha! Dr. Phibes' revenge murders are based on the plauges of Egypt from the bookof Exodus.
The plauges of FROGS, locusts, flies, etc. This head crushing scene always disturbed me too!

Superb extract from a superb film.Thanks for posting it.
Vincent Price was a marvellous actor. Can anyone remember him appearing on the Simon Dee show on BBC TV in the 1960s and stealing the show?

I get a kick out of the funky music
playing in the background.

That's called "The Darktown Strutter's Ball", a big hit of the 1920's. Very un-"PC" these days, however. This version (in the film) is sung by a man named Paul Frees, if I recall.

Are you sure?
Compared to the versions on youtube, it sounds different to me.

In this scene, the music is highly incidental, so I suppose they didn't bother to make it all that good...or even recognizable, for that matter!
Morpheus1910 3 years ago
Yes, I'm quite sure. Mr. Frees rendition is, shall we call it...very "individual".
To be perfectly honest, he sounds as though he's attempting to sing after consuming a full bottle of Scotch and with 3 or 4 walnuts held in his mouth. I'm certain that it's an attempt to imitate one of the old-time singers of the era (can't quite figure out which one...perhaps Eddie Cantor), but it doesn't come off well.

Thanks for your explanation.
To a layman like me it sounded complet different, but now I recognize it as "The Darktown Strutter's Ball".
I think he sings it that way to make the scene more creepy.
