Description
Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1980-1989 by Roberto Curti The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent significant changes in the 1980s, with established masters passing away or retiring and new filmmakers emerging. This shift was accompanied by commercial success for films like those directed by Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, but ultimately led to a decline in big-screen releases of the genre. This book provides an in-depth examination of all Italian Gothic horror films from the 1980s, drawing on previously unpublished trivia, production data, original scripts, and interviews with filmmakers, actors, and scriptwriters. The entries include detailed cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production histories, and analysis. Additional resources are included in two appendices, listing direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films of the period.
