Talkie Talk # 57: A Bay of Blood / Crazy Horror Title Trivia

00:00 / 43:24

Happy Halloween! To celebrate the spookfest, our homework is the 1971 influential Italian (but English-speaking) horror film A Bay of Blood by Mario Bava. This movie notoriously was released under more titles than any movie – under Chain Reaction, Twitch of the Death Nerve, even Last House on the Left 2 (no connection to that franchise… at all). In honor of the many-named film, we have a trivia game for Crazy Horror Titles, specifically horror subtitles.
