ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

On this episode, we will be looking at the films of Italian Director Lucio Fulci and the impact they have had on the horror genre. Although he worked in a wide array of genres through a career spanning nearly five decades, including comedy, Spaghetti Western, adventure, science fiction and erotica, he garnered an international cult following for his giallo and horror films.

His most notable films include the “Gates of Hell” trilogy − City of the Living Dead (1980), The Beyond (1981) and The House by the Cemetery (1981) − as well as Massacre Time (1966), One on Top of the Other (1969), A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971), Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972), White Fang (1973), Four of the Apocalypse (1975), Sette note in nero (1977), Zombi 2 (1979), Contraband (1980), The Black Cat (1981), The New York Ripper (1982), Murder Rock (1984) and A Cat in the Brain (1990).

Because of the high level of visceral graphic violence present in many of his films, especially Zombi 2 and The Beyond, Fulci is frequently referred to as “The Godfather of Gore”, a title also given to Herschell Gordon Lewis. Joining me for this discussion will be Morbidly Beautiful staff writer Jamie Marino and my fellow FX artist Bill Mulligan.
