A Bay of Blood
Friday the 13th (1980) and Friday the 13th: Part 2 (1981) pay homage to this movie by lifting two murders from it (one in each movie), almost shot for shot. The locations in all three movies look similar.,The Count is stabbed repeatedly in his back and then he falls on his back and dies. When the killer is dragging him away, there should be a blood trail leading from The Countess to the door.,Simon: Man should live and let live, and without any interfering.
Paolo: Even that poor squid was free once, Simon, eh? I study Coleoptera because I love them.
Simon: Sure, but the squirming little creatures still end up under your microscope. Yeah, he's dead all right but at least I eat my squid. But I don't kill as a hobby like you do.,The Italian version contains alternative filmed dialog scenes by the same characters. It also includes different character names for the 4 teenagers who stumble upon the abandoned disco.,Featured in Don't Scream: It's Only a Movie! (1985),Forget the overrated John Carpenter, the hack Wes Craven, and anyone who had anything to do with any Friday the 13th film, because THIS is the granddaddy of them all. Only a master like Mario Bava could both create AND send up the slasher genre in the same film. The murders come fast and furious, while the soap-opera intertanglings of the characters is so hilariously complicated you'll find your head spinning. And just in case you're wondering whether Bava really intended this as a send up, just wait until the unbelievable ending. This is the only slasher movie anyone ever needs to see, and the news that it's coming on dvd is cause for celebration.,
