I don't remember bats being one of the plagues. The scene of the "attacking" bats is not only amusing, but downright charming. They're flying foxes -- benign, adorable animals. WilliamSommerwerck ( talk) 14:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

The section about the music is slightly ambiguous, and may need clarification. The sentence beginning, “The music that Phibes plays on the organ at the beginning…”, is immediately followed by, “The organ used is the New York Paramount theater organ…”. I am presuming that the organ “played” by Phibes is a studio prop or mock up, on the set at Elstree, and the second sentence means that what the audience hears is the theatre organ, but I don’t know, and think it could be clearer.

I know ... every source known to man, claims her only appearance in the film, is in the series of projected photos, and one photo on Dr.Phibes organ phone rotary dial ... BUT ... if true, Who is that laying in the coffin with him during the final act? Methinks Ms.Munro is not getting her full due! 75.104.182.200 ( talk) 23:39, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
First I should say that I haven't seen the movie. Apparently, there were some liberties taken with the plagues on Egypt, as mentioned in the earlier comment about the bats/flying foxes. In the article, it says the last "curse" was darkness. In the Biblical account, darkness was second-to-last, with the death of the firstborn being the last, which was the plague that finally (though temporarily) convinced Pharaoh to let the Israelites go.
Upon reflection, it seems like the main liberty taken in this area was the order of plagues, since the doctor's son was threatened and almost died. -- Cromwellt| talk| contribs 16:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
