10 Amazing Death Scenes Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies
8. Mauled To Death By Bats - The Abominable Dr. Phibes
The Abominable Dr. Phibes is up there with The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies as one of the all-time great "bad" horror movies. A movie so charmingly abysmal that you can't help but love it. And that's thanks to its brilliant use of Vincent Price, and balls to the wall attitude towards horror.
One of the most memorable parts is when the eponymous Dr. Phibes gets his revenge on one of our unlucky victims of the evening by sending a bunch of bats to maul him in his sleep.
Now, nothing is done to these bats to make them more feral, or even to make him more appetizing to them. These bats were just apparently on the exact same page as Phibes, and felt that this a-hole just had to go. So when the guy lays down to sleep, he opens his eyes to find several dozen bats crawling and landing on him. The bats then proceed to tear the poor guy apart. Brutal.
