description
Digitmovies continues to explore the wonderful world of horror and fantasy of Mario Bava by releasing on CD, as Volume VIII, the complete OST by Roberto Nicolosi from the 1963 movie I Tre Volti Della Paura (Black Sabbath).

The movie is divided into three episodes:
Il Telefono from the F.G. Snyder story (even if in the opening credits it is credited to Guy De Maupassant).
I Wurdalak from a story by Aleksej Konstantinovic Tolstoj (Sem'ya Yurdalaka).
La Goccia D'Acqua comes from a story by Anton Cechov

Three nightmare stories filled with all those elements so typical of the Bava cinema and perfectly scored by Bava's favourite composer Roberto Nicolosi.
At the time of the film's release no record, neither 45 rpm or 33 rpm, was issued and only in 1998 italian RCA had issued a CD which contained 16 selected tracks especially mixed in stereo from I Tre Volti Della Paura coupled with the OST Il Rosso Segno Della Follia by Sante Maria Romitelli.
Maestro Roberto Nicolosi has well succeeded to musically represent this fabulous terror trilogy by creating different music for each episode:
For Il Telefono he has created jazzy and bluesy themes which perfectly reflect the urban atmosphere of the noir movies from the the '50s/'60s.
For I Wurdalak the Nicolosi score is symphonic of a classical kind with dramatic, mysterious and romantic passages with sonorities typical of the movie genre in the vein of British Hammer pictures.
For La Goccia D'Acqua Nicolosi has composed an experimental kind of music performed by a small orchestra of organ, harp, celesta, bass guitar, gong and percussions which anticipates by a few years the psychedelia (and quite astonishingly it also reminds one of some later background music for Star Trek, the classic series from 1966-1969!).
For this very long CD we could use the complete mono master tapes of the original recording sessions preserved in the RCA archives that gave us the chance to release for the very first time - beside the 16 stereo tracks - the complete film score in good mono sound with every note recorded for all the three episodes.
Another true and proper musical rescue of the Italian Silver Age and a sincere tribute to the inimitable art of Mario Bava.

 
story
This anthology features three chilling horror stories.
Il Telefono is credited to Guy de Maupassant, although he never wrote such a story, and concerns a woman (Michele Mercier) receiving telephone calls from beyond the grave.
Wurdulak, by Alexei Tolstoi, stars Boris Karloff as an aging vampire who can only feed on those he loves.
Co-starring Mark Damon and Susy Andersen, it is clearly the best story of the three.
The final tale, La Goccia D'Acqua, is falsely credited to Anton Chekhov.
It features Jacqueline Pierreux stealing a ring from a corpse she is preparing for burial, only to be murdered by the old woman's ghost.
The American version differs in four major areas: the print is shorter, the stories appear in a different order, there is a linking device with Karloff speaking directly to the audience from a foggy void, and Roberto Nicolosi's musical score is replaced with one by lounge-icon Les Baxter.
The American release of the film is also missing a comic coda featuring Karloff riding on horseback (or is he?);
this appears in most Eurpoean prints of the film, including Mario Bava's original cut.
