Mario Bava (31 July 1914 -- 27 April 1980) was an Italian cinematographer, screenwriter and director known primarily for his horror films, although he also directed movies in other genres (including crime thrillers, sci-fi and even westerns). Bava basically invented the [[{{giallo}} giallo subgenre]] with his 1963 movie ''The Girl Who Knew Too Much'' as the TropeMaker and his 1964 movie ''Blood And Black Lace'' as the TropeCodifier. He directed the pre-''Film/{{Halloween|1978}}'', proto-SlasherMovie ''Bay of Blood'' and even influenced the look of 1979's ''Film/{{Alien}}'' with his spooky sci-fi/horror ''Planet of the Vampires''.

Although best known as a director, Bava got his start as a cinematographer and special effects man (a role he would also fulfill on his own movies when money was tight -- which was often). He had no ego and would work on friends' projects as a cinematographer or a effects man or a lighting technician, often for no credit. He was hugely influential in the realm of lighting and mood, and later Italian genre directors owe him a great debt indeed.

->''"Movies 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."''
