Can you think of a better title???


First off, I love this film. Definitely one of Bava's most atmospheric chillers. That being said, every title for this film that I've heard of is pretty bad. From "Operation Fear" to "Kill, Baby...Kill" to "Curse of the Living Dead", none of them seem to really capture the essence of the movie.

My question is: If you saw this film without a title, and were asked to give it a title, what would it be?

I was just thinking what a lame, off-putting title "Kill, Baby... Kill!" is.

To me, KILL BABY KILL sounds more like your tough-ass biker babes on the prowl.
Tarantino, anyone?


It sounds like a campy Russ Meyer sexploitation flick, e.g. "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" (1965). The producers/marketers probably strapped Bava's Gothic/horror movie with the title to be "hip" and sell as many tickets as possible.

There have been some excellent (and funny) suggestions on this thread (e.g. "The Graps of Wrath" and "Melissa and her Sissa"). Here are a couple of other (serious) suggestions...

Village of the Laughing Dead
Night of the Laughing Dead

As Kids we couldn't remember the name so we called it "The Spirit of Melissa". It wasn't until years later we found out what movie it was.
