WHAT, one of the oddest of horror movie titles, also contains a long list of almost all fake production credits. This film was seen little during its theatrical run, and appeared on American television in 1964 heavily edited, but still controversial partially due to the choppy editing.

WHAT features the distictive artistic perspective of director and special effects maestro Mario Bava, and ranks among his most picturesque and tense films of the 1960s. You can also witness his artistry in such recently re-acclaimed gems as PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES, BLACK SABBATH, THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, BLACK SUNDAY, KILL BABY KILL, HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD, and BARON BLOOD.
