On the 11th Day of HALLOWEEN My Boo Gave to Me...

A countdown of my favorite horror movies.

On the 11th day of Halloween my boo gave to me...

…Blood and Black Lace (1964).

Mario Bava does it again. The hunting ground for our serial killer is a modeling agency in 1960s Rome, which means we’re treated to stylish models, beatnik bongo music, and high fashion that would make Anna Wintour jealous. This early slasher flick, a pioneer of the genre, is so stunning (direction, cinematography, lighting), it should be used in film schools. It's a technicolor dream.
