Anthologies are common in the horror genre, whether two or more directors band together on a project, or whether one director takes on several short stories alone.

The great Italian horror director Mario Bava isn't as well-known today as he should be; perhaps it's because his films relied more on mood and atmosphere than on plot and character, and very often his plots and characters were a little pathetic.

Three really good films. 5-point scale. Links to Netflix Kill, Baby, Kill (4): This 1966 Mario Bava gem is a creepy, semi-gothic ghost story, that proves Italians did horror as well as westerns. It made me an instant Fabienne Dali fan. Black Sunday (4): Another excellent Bava film (1960), with the great Barbara Steele in a double role as a witch and her look-alike descendant. One of my favorite vintage...
