"Kill, Baby... Kill!" (known as "Operazione Paura" in its native Italy) is a 1966 Italian Gothic Horror film directed by the genre's pioneer, Mario Bava.The story is set in the small Carpathian village of Karmingam, which is plagued by a curse in the form of a creepy ghost girl. The protagonist, Dr Paul Eswai, is summoned there to perform an autopsy on Irena Hollander, the latest victim in the string of seemingly random deaths. Unfortunately for him, the locals are distrustful of outsiders and every attempt at uncovering the truth is met with resistance. His only ally seems to be a young medical student, Monica Schuften - a local who returned to the village after many years spent away. As the corpses start piling up, it appears all the answers can be found in a nearby Haunted House...

Recycled Soundtrack: Although the film's score is credited to Carlo Rustichelli, it is actually comprised of music re-used from some of the composer's other scoring assignments, along with tracks by Francesco de Masi and Armando Trovajoli.

Town with a Dark Secret: No one in the village is eager to explain what exactly is going on. As it is later revealed, the curse was the result of the tragic death of Melissa, the daughter of the local Baroness. The mother couldn't deal with her grief, and since this death was practically the villagers' fault, she summoned the girl's spirit to torment the peasants.
