Born on this day in 1927 and passed away in 1996. Below is the haunting image of Emily (Cinzia Monreale) from 1981's The Beyond. The 3rd in Fulci's famous "quartet" of zombie/gothic horror films and his masterpiece.
Don't Torture a Duckling and A Lizard in a Woman's Skin are both excellent examples of giallo (esp. Lizard). As far as the horror stuff, City of the Living Dead and House by the Cemetery are both very good (just a notch below The Beyond IMO). I also really like New York Ripper - a very brutal & downbeat slasher film.
Oh yeah, House by the Cemetary. I did see and really enjoy that one. City of the Living Dead I've never been able to get through for some reason. I might need to try again.
I have not seen nearly enough Fulci.
ReplyDeleteYou know, neither have I. Other than the Beyond and Zombie, what are considered his best?
