Kill, Baby, Kill (1966)
I first encountered Mario Bava’s Kill, Baby, Kill — or Operazione Paura (Operation Fear) — as all great movies should be encountered: in the foggy evening at a drive-in after none too few beers and other intoxicants.

I’ll tell you, this is the only movie I can think of where the children’s song “Frere Jacques” plays during murders. It was directed by Carlos Aured, […]
