First off, I love this film. Definitely one of Bava's most atmospheric chillers. That being said, every title for this film that I've heard of is pretty bad. From "Operation Fear" to "Kill, Baby...Kill" to "Curse of the Living Dead", none of them seem to really capture the essence of the movie.
My question is: If you saw this film without a title, and were asked to give it a title, what would it be?
I agree. The titles do NO justice to the movie. I am terrible and titling but, I'll try.
'Child of Vengeance'? 'The Ghost (Girl) at The Window'? What would you call it?

Very good posting BartDudeInX.
The title doesn't match the movie. How about these replacement titles:
Child Cursed Village
Forgotten Daughter
Make them Pay
Festival Curse
Sorceress's Regret
Ghost Boy in Drag
No two persons ever watch the same movie.share
Sorceress' Regret is great!
Child of Hate
Revenge of the Ghost-Child
Melissa on the Staircase
To me, KILL BABY KILL sounds more like your tough-ass biker babes on the prowl.
Tarantino, anyone?
I honestly can't come up with an appropriate title that doesn't sound like those'B titles' we've heard so much before.
Kind of generic but even just Melissa would sound scarier.
I thought of "In the Grip of Graps" when I watched this today. That or Melissa's Curse would be great. Though I like the title "Kill, Baby Kill" it sounds like a '70s grindhouse exploitation film rather than an eerie, atmospheric ghost story.
