Description

Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1970-1979 by Roberto Curti is a comprehensive study of the Italian horror genre during this pivotal decade. This book delves into the graphic and often violent films that emerged from Italy's adult-oriented cinema, influenced by giallo movies and comics. The author examines the careers of specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda, and Antonio Margheriti, as well as new talents such as Pupi Avati and Francesco Barilli. With access to official papers, original scripts, and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters, and actors, Curti provides previously unpublished details on the Italian Gothic horror of the period. The book includes complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production history, and analysis, making it an essential resource for film enthusiasts and scholars alike. An appendix covers Italian made-for-TV films and mini-series, rounding out a rich and detailed exploration of this fascinating era in horror cinema.
