Cheap but good slasher fun. Predates Black Christmas, Halloween, Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
	You know everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle! Your stories have NONE of that. They're not even amusing ACCIDENTALLY! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecodotes for you. Oh and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it."

It has been 15 years or so since I watched this but I do remember disliking Bava's sense of humor a lot. Five Dolls for an August Moon was another with similar playful morbidness or whatever I should call it.

Maybe I should give these another chance. It has been a while.

Certainly one of my favorite horror premises, where it's pretty much open season on all the characters.

Not only have I not seen these, I don't even know the titles.
