Black Sunday
Directed by Mario Bava
A vengeful witch returns to possess her descendant in Mario Bava's most famous film, which remains beloved by critics, horror historians, and directors like Tim Burton and Francis Ford Coppola (SLEEPY HOLLOW and BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA both feature homages). Bava's major innovation was favoring thrilling visuals and European eroticism (still radical for 1960) over story. Even today, the film is regularly cited as one of the greatest horror movies of all time and scream queen Barbara Steele is still known as one of the most beautiful bad girls in horror history.

One of my all-time favorite movies ever made Barbara Steele is such a bad ass😈 an original Gothic horror movie that lives up to the hype🖤
Awesome move thank you
Great movie—pacing, acting, atmosphere, it’s all there. There are very well done scare scenes and graphic shots, too, that are almost worth the viewing time just for those. Watch it, and know the joys and beauty of evil!!
gorgeous looking film and barbara steele is a force to be reckoned with but the film itself gets worse as it goes on.
I got interrupted in middle of this unfortunately. Never mind. It’s so gorgeous it’s a 5. Steele is amazing
