Ghoulish Publishing Italian Horrors Book

The Only Guide To The Italian Horror Movie Scene Around.

This stunning book from the Dark Side team chronicles the best and the worst of Italian Horror. A genre that frequently favours style over narrative sense and is characterised by over-the-top gore, lurid sex and strong violence.

It has also given us many memorable imitations of foreign box office hits, from The Exorcist to Jaws and of course George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.

The inspirational Lucio Fulci’s classic Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) and more. It’s interesting to note how many Italian horrors from the 1970s and 1980s made it on to the DPP’s Video Nasties list, Cannibals, Zombies and Last House on the Left-type rape and revenge films being a staple of spaghetti cinema at this time.

The Dark Side editor Allan Bryce strikes up the banned to cover this phenomenon in a lengthy chapter peppered with little-known facts about censorship cuts made to each movie.

Delve further into this glossy, lavishly illustrated volume and you will find chapters on the major players of the Italian horror scene. 

As always with Dark Side books, this is a great value volume, beautifully produced and full of never before published stills and posters.

It will tell you everything you need to know about this hugely popular subject and is an essential purchase for any true fan.
