Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)
Dr. Phibes would return again in 1972 again directed by Robert Fuest and starring Vincent Price. The sequel would pit Phibes against Darius Biederbeck played by Robert Quarry (Count Yorga Vampire). The mad doctor races to Egypt seeking the Scroll of Life to resurrect his deceased wife and disposes of his opposition with Egyptian theme: sand storms, scorpions, eagles.

Losing some of its appeal from the original, the film still manages to hold up and entertain. Price is, as always, fantastic in the starring role and the rest of the cast hold their own, especially the much needed addition of Robert Quarry.
The one strange thing about the two Phibes movies is the odd use of its star's most startling quality -- his voice, which is hidden behind a plot device that distorts it.
So here it is -- Dr. Phibes Rises Again
