• Title:
  Revenir : la peur envisagée par Mario Bava (Les Trois visages de la peur / I Tre volti della paura, 1963)

• Description:
  Ghosts populate Mario Bava’s films and are at the heart of Black Sabbath (1963). The three episodes of this anthology film depict their terrifying appearance. The Telephone offers a harrowing “huis-clos” amid manipulation and revenge. The Wurdulak, a Gothic fantasy tale, questions the fear of the other through the essential ambiguity of the vampire. Finally, in The Drop of Water, a cruel tale if any, the ghost appears as an image of the Unheimlich and a metaphor for wholly-assumed special effects and illusions. This manifesto-type triptych film is thus characterized by a quest of both efficiency and distance to arouse fear on the screen, on the faces that inspire it as well as on those who express it.Key words: Mario Bava, fear, ghosts, faces, film aesthetics
