There was a lot of hostility between Vincent Price and Robert Quarry, particularly when Price discovered that American International Pictures was planning to replace him with Quarry as their major horror film star. At one point, when Price discovered Quarry singing opera, Quarry said; 'I'll bet you didn't know I could sing did you?', to which Price replied; 'Well, I knew you weren't a f---ing actor'.
The second part of a planned trilogy. The third film would have featured Phibes fighting a group of Nazis, or searching for the key to Olympus. Amongst the titles mentioned for the film include; "Phibes Resurrectus," "The Seven Fates of Dr. Phibes" or "The Brides of Dr. Phibes". Proposed stories included Phibes being the subject of an elaborate revenge plot by Dr. Vesalius' son from the first film, and Victoria being resurrected from the dead, but becoming a deranged homicidal maniac, far worse that her husband. Reportedly, a large number of sequel scripts written, all exploring different ideas. There was also a plan to bring Dr. Phibes to the small screen, with a TV series, in which a reformed Phibes fought crime. In the 80s, an updated Phibes film was proposed as well. Unfortunately, Price's departure from AIP, and AIP's subsequent change of focus to films which would be of the exploitation/grindhouse fare, meant the third film was never made (nor any further ones beyond it).
Valli Kemp was cast as Vulnavia because Virginia North was pregnant.
Vulnavia was originally going to be a new character, but the studios insisted on keeping her name. That explains why the character returns despite being killed in The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).
Many characters were named after famous jazz band leaders.
"Waverly: Come along, Trout, strike camp. Trout: Yeah, we ought to get these tents down, too, sir, and be on our way. And, what about Baker? Should we dispose of his body? Waverly: I don't know about his body, but I think we should give his head a decent burial."
"Trout: I'm a bit apprehensive about finding the others, sir. Do you think you know where we are? Waverley: Trout, I don't think; I know. Trout: I don't think you know either, sir."
