Citadel Records reissued the same material in 1997 and just like the previous release, this CD also contained a suite of music from Baron Blood, another Bava film which also received a new score by Baxter for its American version.

Mario Bava ( 31 July 1914 – 25 April 1980 ) was an Italian director, screenwriter, special effects artist and cinematographer, remembered as one of the greatest names from the " golden age " of Italian horror films, and is considered to have kick-started the giallo film genre.

Bava completed filming I vampiri for director Riccardo Freda in 1956, now referred to as the first Italian horror film.

Bava was originally hired as the cinematographer, but when Freda walked out on the project midway through production, Bava completed the film in several days, even creating the innovative special effects that were needed.

Bava co-directed The Day the Sky Exploded in 1958, the first Italian science fiction film.

In 1960, Bava directed Black Sunday, a gothic horror film and his first solo directorial effort, which made a genre star out of Barbara Steele.

Bava directed what is now regarded as the first Italian giallo film, The Girl Who Knew Too Much ( 1963 ), and his 1965 sci-fi horror film Planet of the Vampires was a thematic precursor to Alien ( 1979 ).

Bava retired in 1978 after co-directing his last horror film, Shock, with his son Lamberto ( although he did some special effects matte work on Dario Argento's 1980 movie Inferno ).

Reportedly, famed Italian horror director Lucio Fulci was furious when he learned that Bava directed this film, since he had understood that he was slated to direct it with the project's screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti.

Bava then went on to direct the Italian made-for-TV fantasy film Fantaghirò, which has since spawned four sequels.

This is true of the tractate Makkot, the concluding portions of which were composed by his son-in-law, Rabbi Judah ben Nathan, and of the tractate Bava Batra, finished ( in a more detailed style ) by his grandson, the Rashbam.

Orthodox, Sephardim, a majority of Israeli Jews and other Jews, including many whom are not observant, reject critical Bible scholarship and the documentary hypothesis, holding to the opinion that it is contradicted by the Torah in Deuteronomy 31: 24, 25 and 26, and the Talmud ( Gittin 60a, Bava Basra 15b ), which state that Moses wrote the Torah, as well as by the Mishnah, which asserts the divine origin of the Torah as one of the essential tenets of Judaism.

Writing in 2000, Tim Lucas wrote that Bava is " the acknowledged smoking gun behind the ' body count ' movie phenomenon of the 1980s, which continues to dominate the horror genre two decades later with such films as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and their respective sequels.

Mario Bava was very disappointed with the distribution of some of his later films ( which caused him to retire in 1978 at age 63 ).
