THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES / DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN!
The Abominable Dr. Phibes is a classic horror-comedy film that first delighted audiences in 1971. Directed by Robert Fuest, this film introduced viewers to the eccentric character of Dr. Anton Phibes, played by the legendary Vincent Price. Set against the backdrop of the 1920s, Phibes emerges as a vengeful figure fueled by grief and a thirst for revenge, driven by the tragic death of his beloved wife, Victoria. His unique capacity for resurrection and mastery over macabre arts makes him a truly unforgettable villain.
Dr. Phibes Rises Again, the sequel released in 1972, picks up where the original film left off. After surviving a supposed demise at the hands of authorities, Phibes returns with even more diabolical schemes. This time, he seeks to defy death itself in an attempt to resurrect his wife, who was interred in a tomb in Egypt. The plot thickens as Phibes engages in a deadly game of wits with the police and other characters who are determined to stop his sinister plans.
This film not only captivates with its imaginative plot but also enthralls audiences with its striking production design and visual style. The artistic choice of Art Deco elements combined with vibrant colors enhances the film's odd yet enchanting atmosphere. The murders that Dr. Phibes orchestrates are laced with both creativity and dark humor, drawing viewers into a world where horror and laughter coalesce.
The sequel expands on Phibes' character, showcasing his brilliance in mechanics and his affinity for elaborate traps. One of the film's highlights is the introduction of unique gadgets and devices that Phibes employs to carry out his nefarious plans, each accompanied by a heavy dose of theatrical flair. These attributes have contributed to the enduring popularity of the Phibes character in cult horror film circles.
Overall, The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again stand as landmark entries in the horror-comedy genre, blending elements of suspense, style, and humor. They not only celebrate the legacy of Vincent Price but also underscore the importance of creativity and imagination in storytelling.
Fans of the series often appreciate:

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
