Trivia: Set in 1925; the
Phibes' tombstones say 1921, and the characters say Anton and Victoria died 4
years earlier.
Dr. Phibes' first words are
spoken 32 minutes into the movie.
The "Vampire Bats"
were really flying foxes, very docile fruit-loving bats.
Joseph Cotten would grumble on
the set that he had to remember and deliver lines, while Vincent Price's were all to be
post-dubbed. Price responded, "Yes, but I still know them, Joe." In
fact, Price was well-known in Hollywood for his ability to memorize all of the
characters' lines in a given production, not just his own.
