There is no cinema with such effect as that of the hallucinatory
horror of Italian horror films. From Riccardo Freda's I Vampiri in
1956 to Il Cartaio in 2004 (The Card Player), this work recounts
the origins of the genre, celebrates ten auteurs who have
contributed to Italian horror, mentions the many who have made
noteworthy films, and discusses the influential genres associated
with Italian horror. The directors discussed in detail are Dario
Argento, Lamberto Bava, Mario Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Lucio Fulci,
Umberto Lenzi, Antonio Margheriti, Aristide Massaccesi, Bruno
Mattei, and Michele Soavi. Each section includes a short biography,
a detailed account of the subject's career, discussion of
influences both literary and cinematic, commentary on the films,
with plots and production details, and an exhaustive filmography.
The second section lists other important directors, each with a
short discussion and selected filmography. The work concludes with
a chapter on the future of Italian horror and an appendix of
important horror films by other directors, and is illustrated with
stills, posters, and behind-the-scenes shots.
