A BAY OF BLOOD (1971) - Poster Art and Video Covers

A VHS viewing of this Mario Bava film coupled with an earlier watch party experience with Fulci's THE BEYOND may have been the beginning of my obsession with Italian horror. I still find both films brilliant every time I return to them.

This film just seems to get better every time I come back to it. Surely one of Mario Bava's most underrated.

Video - TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE (1972)

Here's Edgar Wright talking about one of his (and my) favorite Mario Bava films! He describes it as a kind of Tom & Jerry murder story and that is just about perfect. But I think I prefer the BAY OF BLOOD title.

Wild, Wild Podcast - Season 7 Ep. 8 - Danger: Diabolik (1968)

Dashing home after having stolen a country's entire gold reserve and blown up its tax offices, Rod and Adrian grab their microphones to talk about one of the greatest films to be covered on Wild, Wild Podcast - Danger: Diabolik. In this episode the latest Severin Films announcements are discussed, and Adrian potentially alienates everyone by saying something blasphemous about Morricone's score. He may need to go into hiding!
