What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fright Night, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Abominable Dr. Phibes is

A blackened London winter, rabbi’s candle guttering. A clockwork orchestra tune-box left ticking on a velvet table. The surgeon’s widower strums hymns on an organ wired to ravens. Each evening’s feast arrives on a gold tray wired to explode. Beyond Hammer’s baroque fright-machine, one man conducts his grief.
