For decades I've been searching in vain for an anthology horror movie I saw at the drive-in close to 40 years ago. It scared the daylights out of me then, and still haunts me to this day. I couldn't remember the name of the movie but never gave up the quest.

I did an internet search this morning under keywords of details I could remember and finally found it:

Directed by Mario Bava in 1963, released in Italy under the title "I tre volti della paura" (The Three Faces of Fear) and released in the US under the title "Black Sabbath".

The reviews I found confirmed that it is, indeed, as stylish and spine-tingling as I remembered.

For those of you still with me, thank you for your patience. We're finally getting to the Exotica connection part. When released in the US, the original musical score by Roberto Nicolsi was replaced with a score by non other than Les Baxter!

It's kind of spooky how two of my rather offbeat interests have come together in this weird way...wheels within wheels...
