(1971) An elderly heiress is killed by her husband who wants control of her fortunes. What ensues is an all-out murder spree as relatives and friends attempt to reduce the inheritance playing field, complicated by some teenagers who decide to camp out in a dilapidated building on the estate. ______________________________________________________ This is the Grand daddy of them all. In many ways the undisputed father of the slasher genre, Mario Bava Featuring 13 of the most imaginative murders long before Sean Cunningham's Friday the 13th, Bava's splatter spree has earned a well-deserved spot in the 'Progenitors Hall of Fame,' as several key deaths of Twitch would be played out frame-for-frame in the later slasher-friendly 1980s I own this,and i'm glad to have a piece of horror history in my collection.. Comments?

The double impalement in Part 2 is lifted from this movie, as is the machete to the face kill.

Yes you are 100% right. The impalement from Friday the 13th part 2 is identical to Bava's bed impalement in Twitch. Same goes for the machete to the face scene.
Thats the animation above.

The bed impalement in Twitch looked real.

Every Friday fan should no doubt see this movie. Good stuff. Italian gore is the best, well that and Savini.

Nobody does gore better than Tom Savini.

The burning and The prowler certainly proved that.

Yup. I can't wait until my DVD of The Burning gets here. I haven't seen the film in years and can't wait to see it again. I watch The Prowler quite frequently.
