The ""Gothic"" style was a key trend in Italian cinema of the 1950s
and 1960s, because of its peculiar, often strikingly original
approach to the horror genre. These films portrayed Gothic staples
in a stylish and idiosyncratic way, and took a daring approach to
the supernatural and to eroticism, with the presence of menacing
yet seductive female witches, vampires and ghosts. Thanks to such
filmmakers as Mario Bava (Black Sunday), Riccardo Freda (The
Horrible Dr. Hichcock), and Antonio Margheriti (Castle of Blood),
as well the iconic presence of actress Barbara Steele, Italian
Gothic horror went overseas and reached cult status. The book
examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, with an abundance
of previously unpublished production information drawn from
official papers and original scripts. Entries include a complete
cast and crew list, home video releases, plot summary and the
author's analysis. Excerpts from interviews with filmmakers,
scriptwriters and actors are included. Foreword by film director
and scriptwriter Ernesto Gastaldi.
