(http://I know there are many fans of Dr. Phibes out there, and I thought this "what if?" poster might interest more than a few. Offered by Strange Kids Club is "The Bride of Dr. Phibes" movie poster. Ordering details and a synopsis of the never-made third film are at their site. Just click on the image!
That's so much fun to look at! I really want to be transported into that poster! :)
What a cool concept!
Back when I used to sketch a lot, I'd do things like this. Concept art for films that never got made, or were off in the future, still. I remember doing a whole series of Sith Lord sketches before "The Empire Strikes Back" came out. They all wore uniforms similar to Darth Vader's, with the bell-shaped helmets. Some were human, some were aliens. I even did sketches for a Universal Pictures remake of "Frankenstein," starring Frank Langella as Henry Frankenstein and David Prowse as The Monster. Never did any paintings, though.
Wooo, good to be Dr. Phibes!
Great piece! Love the style and colors! I just ordered one for my studio! Thanks for the heads up on this one!
I wish they also offered a version with titles and credits, but it's still a very cool piece.
Back in the 80s, Laurel Entertainment owned a property entitled Phibes Ressurected. I don't know if it ever made it to the script stage but that's also a nice "what if" kinda thing.
Awesome poster.

Here's a pretty good overview of the various unmade Dr. Phibes sequels and reboots.

I need a time machine to go back and get Vincent Price so we can make these sequels.

It's that David Carradine was considered to replace Price in "Phibes Resurrectus." If I were going to remake "Phibes" today, I'd want Liam Neeson as Phibes and Liz Hurley as Victoria.
Vincent Price was one of the original "perverted avengers" and I never tires of watching the Dr. Phibes films.
