- but am not as learned of his work as Argento. I *USED* to be, and have been dutifully buying the new DVDs as they've been released- he is quite the master. Even Martin Scorsese counts him as a big influence (Scorsese gives a shout out to Bava in the commentary of the TAXI DRIVER laserdisc from Criterion).

If you don't have it, get LISA AND THE DEVIL. There's a neat double-feature DVD with LISA and its re-edited version THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM from Image, check it out. LISA has one of the creepiest endings I've ever seen in any horror film, it really freaked me the fuck out, and the entire movie is just really atmospheric and original.

: ...you always mention Argento and Fulci, but what about Bava? Are you into the maestro or what? I'm a huge fan of BLOOD AND BLACK LACE.
