I couldn't possibly choose. The Phibes films are all about the magic VP made in collusion with the incredible talent of Bob Fuest and allied talents such as Brian Eatwell and John Gale. Theatre of Blood alchemizes the link between Shakespeare and horror traditions of the 20th century with an incredible cast including Ian Hendry and Diana Rigg. Some of the murder scenes in the latter film are rife with black comedy, particularly those involving Coral Browne and Robert Morley. Price's getup as Butch the hair stylist in Browne's segment and his fey camping have to be seen to be believed. In the Morley segment he brilliantly sends up his own image as a celeb-chef.
