On Saturday Night, February 25 on KCRA Channel 3 at 11:15PM, Bob Wilkins again showed only one movie, but a CLASSIC!!! A Mario Bava Film, "Black Sabbath" (1963). "A trio of atmospheric horror tales: "The Drop Of Water" concerns a nurse who steals a ring off a dead spiritualist only to have the corpse seeking revenge. "The Telephone" A prostitute is terrorized by phone calls from a dead client. "The Wurdalak" stars Boris Karloff as a vampire who feeds on the blood of his loved ones. This movie is an absolute classic. When AIP released it, they changed around the stories and trimmed it for content. The AIP version however is scarced as only the International version in Italian is available on DVD, first by Image Entertainment in 2000, but as a forthcoming Mario Bava Box Set on April 3. The AIP version was released on VHS by VCI and Sinister Cinema as well on Laserdisc by Image Entertainment as part of a double feature with another Mario Bava Classic, "Black Sunday".Enjoy the various Posters, Video/DVD Covers and pictures from "Black Sabbath"! :)
