6. What do you think is the goriest Italian horror film? Burial Ground (1981). It's crazy how much more of that movie you can see on dvd/blu-ray than on that Vestron vhs.

Oh, yeah! What a difference. Maybe only rivaled by Humongous in terms of revelatory VHS-to-DVD transfer.

1. What is your favorite Italian horror film? Tenebrae
2. Why? Love the look, excellent pacing, great music, awesome deaths, rad ending
3. Who is your favorite Italian horror director? Argento
4. Why? Simply because he's made the most movies I've adored
5. What Italian horror film has your favorite music? Hard to say. I'm inclined to go with Phenomena. Some of the music composed has such a majestic quality to it.
6. What do you think is the goriest Italian horror film? Burial Ground possibly. Maybe Cannibal Ferox?
7. What about the sickest? Emanuelle in America with that horse masturbation scene
8. Italian zombies or cannibals: Which do you favor and Why? Well, I love me some cannibals, but I'm a diehard zombie fanatic to the end and the Italian ones are just so much fun. So, zombies
9. Gialli. Underrated or overrated? Personally, I never got the appeal all that much. Overrated. Yeah, I love Tenebrae and all, but a user on the old imdb boards said it best, "Tenebrae is like the Scream of gialli." The gialli heyday, early to mid-70s, was just never my thing. It's been several years since I've seen any of them, so a re-assessment could be in order.
10. When do you think Italian horror peaked? Early 80s
11. What was the last really good Italian horror film in your opinion? Cemetery Man
12. Favorite Italian exploitation film that isn't horror? Blastfighter
13. Favorite actor or actress that regularly appeared in Italian horror films? Easy! Giovanni Lombardo Radice. He always died in the best ways
14. What is your least favorite Italian horror film? Zombie 5: Killing Birds
15. What was the first Italian horror film you saw, and when? Zombie, in 1994
16. Favorite Italian horror film, say, post-Cemetery Man? Maybe Fatal Frames. Shot in 1993, but released in 1996 - so it counts!
17. What Italian horror film is really underrated in your estimation & should be seen by more people? Murder Syndrome

14. What is your least favorite Italian horror film? Rats - Notte di terrore (1984). I couldn't even begin to describe

For real. That movie had no right being that dull.

Disappointed this didn't get more replies. Too many questions? I guess. Oh well. Last original thread I'll be making

Man, I can't believe how many votes NY Ripper has received for least favorite. Always been one of my favorites. Easily Fulci's most entertaining film. Though depending who you're talking to, that may not be saying much...

The sex show scene....theres a song playing in the background that I've been dying to find for years to no avail. So frustrating.

Yeah, one of the best scenes in the movie is where the latino guy rubs his foot up and down that nympho's hot, greedy vagina. Love that.
