A well put together horror anthology which consists of spooky and dread-inducing tales, with charming intro & outro by Boris Karloff, evocative camerawork and atmosphere that Bava is known for. The film starts strong with its first segment, _The Telephone_, which feels contemporary than the rest but totally nails the suspense and fully utilize Bava's masterful giallo work. It's fairly simple but gripping throught. The middle segment, _The Wurdalak_ fills the most runtime. I'd say it's an interesting folky vampire story though unfortunately not as hypnotic as I was expecting and somewhat wears out its welcome by the end. The last segment, _The Drop of Water_ is without a doubt a standout. It's a genuinely unsettling ghost story with a bit of psychological horror. In all the segments, Bava with his wide array of talents within the genre, ensures that this is a treat from start to finish.
