The memorable opening title sequence for the 1971 Vincent Price movie. See and hear Dr. Phibes play War March of The Priests by Felix Mendelssohn on an elevating theater organ!

  • Thanks so much for posting; I LOVE this song and both of the Phibes movies. I've told my husband I want this song played at my funeral, complete with black plumed horses pulling a black funeral coach. Total class!

  • wow... the closing title sequence is good too. has a bizarre rendition of 'over the rainbow.'

  • "The War March of the Priests" is perfect for Dr. Phibes because he sees himself as a righteous avenger, he feels completely justified in what he does.

  • There are in fact two versions of the film. One with this magnificient piece of music at the beginning and one which starts with a modified version of the song the automaton orchestra plays (a little later in the film)

  • @davros1221 This is a prime example of a masterful, near-perfect musical work enhanced by marvellous visuals. For a better musical rendering, view Roucher du Toit's rendition on a really massive pipe organ in South Africa.

  • Masterful rendition of Mendelssohn's War March of the Priests.

  • @blueeyesofice

    it IS over the rainbow :D

  • @tedhead60 FUNERAL ? LAY OFF THE SAUCE

  • @blueeyesofice FYI....cozmovaldimar has the closing theme....titled Dr Phibes (Tribute)

  • A great piece!

  • I like this but the organ in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is way spooky!
