Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ITALIAN HORRORS covers Italian horror films released between 1979 and 1994. Why those years? Well, primarily for convenience. They mark the release dates of Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE, the film that instigated the last great wave of Italian horror, and Michele Soavi's DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, the last great Italian horror film. After the release of Soavi's film, relatively few new Italian horror movies were made; the trend had run its course, and such films were no longer seen as commercially viable. The aim of this work is to guide the unfamiliar viewer to the best films of the period, while hopefully steering him or her away from the dross.
