Black Sabbath

Director: Mario Bava
Year Released: 1963
Rating: 1.0

Three laughably mediocre stories - narrated by a hammy Boris Karloff - that wouldn't have made it on Alfred Hitchcock Presents: the first has a nurse (that can't act) haunted by the ghost of a dead woman (that doesn't have to act), the second has a woman (that can't act) haunted by phone calls from a former boyfriend (who is dead) and the third, the longest, involves a family over-run by vampires (they all get bit). Bava has a knack for casting chesty Italian women and for filming moody (and colorful) sets, but is iffy on the scary.
