Black Sabbath (1963)


BLACK SABBATH  (1963)  
¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Mario Bava
    Boris Karloff, Mark Damon, Michèle Mercier,
    Lidia Alfonsi, Susy Andersen, Jacqueline Pierreux
Three tales of the supernatural, introduced by (who else?) Boris Karloff, which is a little like watching three episodes of Karloff's old "Thriller" television show. In the first segment, a nurse steals a ring from the finger of a corpse, and lives (but not long) to regret it. The second has a woman terrorized by a voice on the telephone. The third is a vampire story starring Boris himself. Ironically, that one's the least frightening. The first is the shortest and the best.
