Italian Gothic horror films of the 1970s were influenced by the
violent giallo movies and adults-only comics of the era, resulting
in a graphic approach to the genre. Stories often featured
over-the-top violence and nudity and pushed the limits of what
could be shown on the screen. The decade marked the return of
specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda and Antonio
Margheriti, and the emergence of new talents such as Pupi Avati
(The House with the Laughing Windows) and Francesco Barilli (The
Perfume of the Lady in Black). The author examines the Italian
Gothic horror of the period, providing previously unpublished
details and production data taken from official papers, original
scripts and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors.
Entries include complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries,
production history and analysis. An appendix covers Italian
made-for-TV films and mini-series.
