Storyline
Doctors are being murdered in a bizarre manner: bats, bees, killer frog masks, etc., which represent the nine Biblical plagues. The crimes are orchestrated by a demented organ player with the help of his mute assistant. The detective is stumped until he finds that all of the doctors being killed assisted a Dr. Vesalius on an unsuccessful operation involving the wife of Dr. Phibes, but he couldn't be the culprit, could he? He was killed in a car crash upon learning of his wife's death... Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

Trivia
Robert Fuest rewrote most of the original screenplay. Trout consulting the rabbi was one of the few sequences left from the original script. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The bats seen in the first murder are fruit bats. They would never eat flesh, they eat fruits or lick nectar from flowers. See more »Crazy Credits
Phibes is heard laughing after the song and the credits end. See more »Soundtracks
