Carroll Baker
Our New Year's weekend was spent trying not to get too upset by the arsonist while watching Carroll Baker giallo films. In Baba Yaga (Devil Witch), CB plays a lesbian witch who nearly runs over fashion designer Valentina in her black Rolls while walking home in Milan at 3am in fur coat and silver platform shoes. She stalks her, giving her an S&M doll that comes to life and putting a curse on her camera that causes it to kill her models, and one annoying hippie protester. I'd like a camera that kills hippies. In the meantime, Valentina has dreams about Nazis that strip her naked and whip her. The eyelashes in this movie are fab.

Sounds like a great family film! Do you think Pixar may be interested in a remake? Jx
why do i get the feeling that listening to you describe this movie is better than watching it? Though.. I do want to see it now!
Whatever happened to her daughter Blanche?
OMG My friends and I LOVE Baba Yaga!
Favorite line: "Thanks for the chicken!"
BF says Carroll makes NO MENTION of her giallos in autobio, so we will not bother to read that book when she has left out the highlight of her film career!
Now that's my kind of movie.
Must Have!
