Halloween Movie Recommendation #5: "Black Sabbath" (1963)

Halloween Movie Recommendation #5:
 
Black Sabbath (1963)
"The most gruesome day in the calendar!"
 
Directed by Mario Bava
Starring: Boris Karloff, Michele Mercier, Lidia Alfonsi and Mark Damon
 

"A trio of atmospheric horror tales about: A woman terrorized in her apartment by phone calls from an escaped prisoner from her past; a Russian count in the early 1800s who stumbles upon a family in the countryside trying to destroy a particularly vicious line of vampires; and a 1900-era nurse who makes a fateful decision while preparing the corpse of one of her patients - an elderly medium who died during a seance." (IMDB.com)
 
 
Atmospheric and scary are the two words I'd use to describe this excellent film from Mario Bava. All three stories were fantastic, but the last one, The Drop of Water, would have to be my favorite because it genuinely scared me...it's that creepy. Black Sabbath is a must see for any horror fan.
