The Haunted World of Mario Bava

In the late 1950s, Mario Bava helped to create and define the Italian horror film. His classic directorial works of the 1960s and '70s, including Black Sunday, Kill, Baby ... Kill! and Lisa and the Devil, remain among the most colourful and imaginative in the history of the genre. The Haunted World of Mario Bava has now been updated, revised and expanded by author Troy Howarth to give a definitive overview of Bava's remarkable legacy as a director and 'cinema magician'. This edition contains new contributions from Bava's son, director Lamberto Bava, and genre icon Barbara Steele. The book examines all of Bava's work in detail while also providing a portrait of the man himself. This larger format, 207-page book is illustrated with rare colour stills and poster art throughout.
