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.
Vincent Price often cracked up during filming, wrecking his makeup.
Vincent Price said Joseph Cotten was very uncomfortable doing his scenes, so he intentionally made a lot of funny faces to make him laugh.
In the script, Phibes was abusive to Vulnavia, eventually stabbing her to death, and then escaped his house (which was to catch fire) in a hot air balloon with Victoria's body. It was decided to make Phibes a more sympathetic character, so these sequences were removed.
For visual reasons, the plagues of flies and gnats were replaced with rats and bats.
"Waverley: A brass unicorn has been catapulted across a London street and impaled an eminent surgeon. Words fail me, gentlemen."
"Dr. Phibes: I will have killed nine times in my life, Dr. Vesalius. How many murders can be attributed to you? Dr. Vesalius: None! I did not kill your wife! Dr. Phibes: No? Dr. Vesalius: I tried to save her. Dr. Phibes: With a knife in your hands? Doctor, I have no faith in your profession! I was told, after my crash, that I would never speak again. The doctors were, of course, wrong, for as you see and can hear, I have used my knowledge of music and acoustics to re-create my voice! Dr. Vesalius: You don't have to remind me of your ingenuity, Dr. Phibes. WHERE... WHERE IS MY SON?"
