#Trademark
1Scenes on an airplane as a means of establishing or ending a story in his films. Examples: The Evil Eye (1963), Baron Blood (1972), Lisa and the Devil (1974) and Shock (1977).
2Frequent uses of a zoom frame onto or back from a character's face during suspense scenes.
#Quote
1The guys of the Cahiers du Cinéma came to me. They wanted to analyze the connection between the plate swinging at the beginning of Blood and Black Lace (1964) and the telephone falling to the ground when Eva Bartok dies. I didn't even remember how the movie ended.
2In a horror film, lighting is 70% of the effectiveness. It's essential in creation the atmosphere.
3I didn't want to be a director because, in my opinion, a director must be a true genius.
4Movies are a magician's forge, they allow you to build a story with your hands--at least, that's what it means to me. What attracts me in movies is to be presented with a problem and be able to solve it. Nothing else; just to create an illusion, an effect, with almost nothing.
#Fact
1Dino De Laurentiis originally approached Bava to handle the special effects of King Kong (1976). Bava did not want to leave Italy so he turned down the offer. He recommended Carlo Rambaldi.
2He became a director of photography in 1939.
3He trained as a painter and was able to execute a number of matte and glass paintings for his films.
4Son of Eugenio Bava.
5Father of director Lamberto Bava.
