The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent many changes in the
1980s, with masters such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda either
dying or retiring and young filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava
(Macabro, Demons) and Michele Soavi (The Church) surfacing. Horror
films proved commercially successful in the first half of the
decade thanks to Dario Argento (both as director and producer) and
Lucio Fulci, but the rise of made-for-TV products resulted in the
gradual disappearance of genre products from the big screen. This
book examines all the Italian Gothic films of the 1980s. It
includes previously unpublished trivia and production data taken
from official archive papers, original scripts and interviews with
filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. Entries include a complete
cast and crew list, plot summary, production history and analysis.
Two appendices list direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films.
