    This man's name is John Austin Frazier...



    He lived in Chicago, Illinoi...( read more)s. He now resides at the state mental hospital. We are saddened to tell you that this tragic condition was brought on when Mr. Frazier attended the world premier of our nightmare of horror program Kill, Baby, Kill. Since this event the producers of the program have secured an insurance policy insuring the sanity of each and every patron. The policy states that in the event you lose your mind as a result of viewing this explosion of terror, you will be provided with free internment in an asylum for the rest of your natural life.

    Poor John. It's not surprising though, after all, murder, mutilation, blood, spirits from beyond the grave... It's enough to drive anyone mad.

    Be sure you're insured before you dare to see Kill, Baby, Kill!

    creepy beautiful gothic ghost story by bava
  • October 10, 2007
    Quite simply: the most terrifying film I've ever seen. If spooky children don't give you the willies this probably isn't for you, but it scared the crap out of me. A truly amazing exercise in sustained atmosphere. I would recommend watching it with the original Italian soundtrack...( read more), if possible, because it's more intense and the child's laughter is 100% creepier.

    A whole lotta fun. Great colors. Creepy atmosphere...the "going crazy" sequences are classic
  • May 13, 2007
    Not my favorite Bava film but still great. It takes a while to get off the ground but the last 15 minutes make up for it. The title's a bit off in relation to the story but whatever. As always, the great lighting, sets and camerawork which have influenced today's filmmakers are p...( read more)resent. Namely the scene where the doctor chases "the killer"--it's straight out of The Black Lodge from Twin Peaks.

    A creepy ghost story with a lot of atmosphere directed by Mario Bava.
  • January 16, 2009
    As far as I know, this was Mario Bava's last movie before he went to more black humor and projects with mixed feelings and results. If you are looking for a classic gothic ghost story, this is one of them.

    A classic and conventional story of a ghost haunting a village. It is...( read more) both wonderfully atmospheric and a intriguing story of someone who won't be forgotten. Who ever thought that a child could be so cruel to others and laugh it off?

    This is a true example of Bava's technicial prowess.

    1966 movie and i would say it is one of the best and refined from Master Bava. The Ghost of a girlchild is coming to get you! The accursed villagers has to pay for what they did in the past... Our hero Doc Paul (G.R.Stuart), newbie of the village, he will discover the truth. A w...( read more)itch knows everything and many people they die soon after the scary vision of the girl (and of her Ball...).

    ehh. . . . no thanks
  • November 23, 2008
    This is a nice ghost story complete with a spooky little girl who keeps appearing in the window. As Italian horror goes, this one is actually fairly easy to follow. Bava does a fine job and I really like the overall look of this film. The performances are well done and the editin...( read more)g is fantastic. But when all is said and done, I felt a little bored at times... Perhaps I am spoiled by modern horror and cannot appreciate sublty anymore.
