304 - The Abominable Dr. Phibes (Saw and its Precursors)

Horror Vanguard

Dr. Phibes is one of Vincent Price's most visually iconic characters, but what does that mean for an actor whose popular presence is bound up with his roles? Is that an organ in your body or are you just happy to become libidinally annihilationist? AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH JOHN KRAMER AND THE SAW MOVIES JUST WHEN WE THINK WE'VE DONE THEM ALL HISTORY REALIGNS AND NEW PATTERNS BECOME EVIDENT IN THE ETERNAL TAPESTRY OF ART? We've gone too long without a Vincent Price movie.
