This co-production between Amicus and AIP brought together Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Robert Quarry and is another meta-concept with Price playing a horror actor returning to the fray as Dr Death after a spell away following the murder of his fiance. The movie incorporates footage from Price's previous films featuring Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff plus a cameo from Michael Parkinson. The film isn't as clever as it thinks it is and merely emphasises that Price was past his prime.
