Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)

The devilish doctor with the poetic ramblings returns with another devious multi-part plan that involves a locale change to Egypt, but ever the intellectual means he doesn't forget to bring what he needs for the inventive deaths of those who oppose him. Inspector Trout, still treading the boards of comedy relief, is hot (well, tepid) on his heels. Strangeness ensues.
The dastardly is even more daft than before, but that phone call... wow!
