This is an Italian horror film from 1963, directed by Mario Bava, and stars Boris Karloff. In three segments, the first is "A Drop of Water", then "The Telephone" and "The Wurdulak."
Depending on the version, some have rearranged segments. "A Drop of Water" is about a nurse taken to see the dead body of her former employer, who died of natural causes in her sleep. The corpse doesn't stop her greediness. After getting home, she experiences creepy goings on. "The Telephone" was a nuisance caller that the victim knows and supernatural forces allow the creep to torment her. "The Wurdulak" is about a vampire.
I only watched it a few nights ago and can barely remember most of it apart from the gothic gentleman presence of Boris Karloff introducing each film segment. The only segment I can most fully remember was "A Drop of Water", a ghost story, which to me was scary. I rate this a 5/10 for sending me to sleep halfway.
What I liked was all the the cute cats in "Drop of Water."
What I didn't like was "The Telephone" story being cut up and edited all because of the sixties not liking the lesbian storyline. What was left of it was ribbons. That chopped story confused me and I nodded off! HISSSSSSSSSSSS!
