294 The Abominable Dr Phibes ( 1971 )
This tongue-in-cheek campy horror with Vincent Price as a demented organist wiping out the team of surgeons who let his wife die , in accordance with the 10 plagues of Egypt has become a cult favourite for its stylised art deco look. It's good fun if you can take Price at his best/worst . Peter Jeffrey's good as the detective on his case.
Virginia North ( as Vulnavia )
Sex : No
Death : Caught in an acid shower
Virginia was the daughter of a US army officer, who eventually settled in London and became a top model. She had a very brief acting career, this being her last film. She married the industrialist Gordon White and became Lady White in 1979 when he was knighted. She died of cancer in 2004 aged 58.
Susan Travers ( as Nurse Allen )
Sex : No
Death : Her head is devoured by locusts
This was Susan's last horror picture although she had an uncredited role as a victim in Frenzy.
