Love means never having to say you're ugly.

HorrorComedy

Famous organist Anton Phibes is horribly disfigured in an automobile accident while rushing to the side of his sick wife and presumed to be dead. Once Phibes learns that his wife died on the operating table, he is convinced the doctors are responsible and begins exacting his revenge on all those involved.

VIBE

A delightfully theatrical descent into madness. Phibes's elaborate, organ-accompanied revenge is both chilling and darkly funny, wrapped in a stylish, macabre aesthetic. It's a wonderfully campy, gothic spectacle.
