Blood Bath is a 1966 horror film directed by Jack Hill and Stephanie Rothman. William Campbell stars as an artist with vampiric tendencies who kills beautiful women and dumps their bodies into a vat of boiling wax in his studio. Also appearing in the cast in supporting roles are Linda Saunders, Merissa Mathes, Sid Haig, Jonathan Haze, and Patrick Magee.
The film had a convoluted production history, initiating as a 1963 Yugoslavia-made spy thriller co-financed by Roger Corman, who deemed the final product unreleasable. Numerous horror sequences were later shot and edited into the film, first by Hill in 1964, then by Rothman in 1966.
