Italian horror master Mario Bava directed this 1963 anthology, composed of three tales introduced by Frankenstein’s monster himself, Boris Karloff, who also stars in one of the segments. The various horrors represented include a murderer fond of making menacing phone calls, a thirsty vampire (or “wurdulak,” as it’s called in the film), and a corpse that doesn’t take very kindly to being robbed; all the stories push the envelope in terms of raciness and violence, and all benefit from the gorgeous cinematography that was Bava’s trademark.
