This week, try not to get paranoid as Adam and Zands serve up a terrifying trio of tales from Italian horror maestro Maria Bava in this 1963 cult classic that served as a namesake for one of rock's most legendary bands. In this film, hosted by the legendary Boris Karloff, you will encounter three stories, each based on a classic tale of terror:
The Telephone: which sees a call girl stalked by her former pimp whom she helped send to prison.
The Wurdulak: which sees a family unravel when their patriarch is turned into a vampire.
and The Drop of Water: In which a hospice nurse steals a ring from a dead patient, only to find its owner has come back to collect it.
Zands and Adam dig into the film's place in the horror canon, its motif of doubling, its themes of evil, unknowability and the destruction of the safety of the home.
CW for child death and gaslighting.
Zands' Rating: 3/5
Adam's Rating: 3.5/5
Recipe for the "Boris Karloff Sandwich"
* Rye Bread (marbled is best)
* Turkey
* Bacon
* Muenster Cheese
* Arugula
* Dijon Mustard
* Cranberry Sauce
Toasted and served with a pickle spear, coleslaw and fries.
