Twitch of the Death Nerve

While most slasher movies owe a considerable debt to Twitchs somewhat nonsensical narrative and its emphasis on bodily mutilation, at least one film was directly imitative: Friday the 13th Part 2 notoriously copied two of Bava's murder sequences almost shot for shot: one character is stabbed full in the face with a machete, and two teenage lovers are interrupted when a spear ends up shoved through their bodies.
