Jim and Jason slept for nine months so that they could stay up all night getting born again in a baptism of blood... a Bay of Blood, that is, along with Baron Blood, Blood and Black Lace, and more. That's right, the boys got Bava'd!

All month, Split Tooth has brought you podcasts about the greats of Italian horror, and they saved the best for last. Come wander through the kick-lighted mist-world of the originator, Mario Bava — the Godfather of Giallo, the Svengali of Slashers, the Big Kahuna of Bonzo Kill Thrills.

From the high gothic terror of Black Sunday to the surreal dread comedy of Lisa and the Devil, the Cinesthesia Boys give you a radically incoherent survey of the master's career that finally dares to ask the question: WHY DOES HE HAVE HIS LOLLIPOP???

Come along with us. The door is purple.
