She isn't human. She is some sort of spirit who Phibes summons. It was to be revealed in the third movie.

i don't even understand where Vulnavia came from and how she became his assistant?

7:49 Meanwhile, in the bat-cave...

(what an odd transition XD)

5:55 The writers of SAW are undoubtedly fans of these two little movies.

Victoria is who the movie is centred around. However she must have the least acting bit that I have ever seen. She does seem to lie around being dead all the time!

@anton1990 - Hmmmm. Frank Miller ! Of course then, they'd try to make a movie out of it like they did w / " Sin City " & " 300 ".....

Don't worry, that reboot idea was from way back in the 80's. But you are so right. It would be cool though if somebody made a graphic novel out of the script "The seven fates of Dr. Phibes".

@anton1990 - Any sequels or reboots now - forget it. Without Vincent Price, they'd be big piles of horse merde. You can have a Frankenstein movie w / out Boris Karloff, but Dr. Phibes w / out Vincent - feh, I say !! Feh & feh again.

I'm sorry, but that's not true. There were many screenplays for a third Phibes movie, the most famous being "The seven fates of Dr Phibes" (a script Vinnie really liked) where he goes to Greece in search of more mythical artifacts. There was plans of a reeboot, a horribly dark sequel, another one where Phibes were going to start a war against polluters (!). But none were written by Vincent.

@waverag Scorpions..... In his pants.* ( cribbing from Harvey Birdman ).

Not many people remember the RCA Victor dog. Congrats !!

@anton1990 - The 3rd movie screenplay was written by Vincent Price, BTW. I don't know what the exact plot was. V.P. could've been a great horror movie writer as well as actor, after starring in so many.

[knoxvilleguy2]

@fjccommish - The original idea makes sense, in a " battle between the monsters " kind of fashion. I wish the studio had seen fit for a 3rd movie. Price had written a follow up for Dr. Phibes, too. But TPTB said " no ". Pity.
