I just watched this film on Netflix last night. An Italian horror film titled, “Black Sabbath” released way back in 1963. The film was directed by Mario Bava and stars Boris Karloff. The film has three short stories titled, “The Drop of Water”, “The Telephone”, and “The Wurdalak”. While Boris does the intro for each of those stories, he does play a role in “The Wurdalak”, which is a vampire story. It is in color, not in black and white. The only story I didn’t care for was “The Wurdalak”, the vampire story which was pretty weak but other than that, the other two stories were the best part of the film. “The Drop of the Water” and “The Telephone” were both scary as hell. Both of those stories has a sexy woman playing the leading role. The film does have hot women all over.

Yes, this is the film that indeed inspired the band, Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne. They wrote the song, “Black Sabbath”, named after the movie, and later they changed their band name to, Black Sabbath. The movie also helped inspire the band who invented that dark heavy sound. This movie is streamable in Netflix. Definitely check it out! This is a perfect Halloween movie.
