Among the few works immediately influenced by the film was the fumetto nero Kriminal in issue number 5 which used the same plot as Blood and Black Lace. Films labeled as gialli from Italy that were released in the late 1960s such as Umberto Lenzi's work with Carroll Baker (Orgasmo, So Sweet... So Perverse, A Quiet Place to Kill) and Lucio Fulci's One on Top of the Other focused on eroticism rather than Bava's style. It was not until the success of Dario Argento's film The Bird with the Crystal Plumage that the giallo genre started as a major trend in Italian cinema. Argento's film borrows elements from Blood and Black Lace such as the focus on the murder scenes.
