Italy's Master of the Macabre Lucio Fulci is celebrated in this lavishly illustrated in-depth study of his extraordinary films. From horror masterpieces like The Beyond and Zombie Flesh-Eaters to erotic thrillers like One On Top of the Other and A Lizard in a Woman's Skin; from his earliest days as director of manic Italian comedies to his notoriety as purveyor of extreme violence in the terrifying slasher epic The New York Ripper, his whole career is explored. Supernatural themes and weird logic collide with flesh-ripping gore to breathtaking effect. Bleak horrors are transformed into bloody poetry - Fulci's loving camera technique, and the decayed splendour of his art design, make the films more than just a gross endurance test. Lucio Fulci built up a fanatical following, who at last will have another chance to own this epic book - five years in the making - which is the ultimate testament to 'The Godfather of Gore'. Since its first publication in 1999, Beyond Terror has sold out three print runs, and continues to be one of the most frequently requested FAB Press reprints. Without doubt, by far and away the largest collection of Fulci posters, stills, press-books and lobby cards ever seen together in print. We have scoured the Earth to find the most stunning, rare and eye-catching Fulci images. Out of print for ten years, it's back again in 2018, bigger and better than ever! Featuring a foreword by Fulci's devoted daughter Antonella, and produced with her blessing and full co-operation, this book is quite simply the last word on Fulci. His whole cinematic career is studied in obsessive depth. Huge supplementary appendices make this volume essential for all serious students of the Italian horror movie scene.

Lucio Fulci is back to shoot his new movie: Blood Bite in Hell A hellish journey in the company of the king of the macabre Lucio Fulci (ENGLISH AND ITALIAN VERSION) Lucio Fulci è tornato per girare il suo nuovo film: Morsi di sangue all'Inferno un viaggio infernale in compagnia del re del macabro Lucio Fulci(VERSIONE INGLESE E ITALIANA)

For many horror film fans, the name Lucio Fulci conjures images of gore and depravity. Derided by critics as a hack and an imitator and lionized by others as the "Godfather of Gore," Fulci remains a polarizing and controversial figure. However, many fans are unaware of the scope and breadth of his filmography. From his early days writing material for popular comics like Totò and Franco and Ciccio to directing films in such genres as the musical and the Spaghetti Western, Lucio Fulci was a filmmaker of great diversity. When he attained international notoriety with the release of his gory epic ZOMBIE, Fulci already had years of experience in the film industry; that film's success established him as one of Italy's premier masters of the macabre and he would continue to shock and delight fans until shrinking budgets and failing health began to compromise some of his later work. When he died in 1996, he was on the cusp of a major comeback, but in the years following his death the cult surrounding his legacy has continued to grow. Unfortunately, most studies of Fulci and his work have elected to focus only on a small part of his career. SPLINTERED VISIONS changes all of that by providing an in-depth exploration of Fulci's filmography, beginning with his work as a screenwriter and extending through all of his films as a director. The popular horror films and thrillers are given ample coverage, but the lesser-known works are finally put into their proper context. Author Howarth provides a detailed portrait of a complex man using newly conducted interviews with actors such as Richard Johnson and Franco Nero, which allows the reader a sense of who the director was and how he worked. The end result is the most comprehensive overview of Fulci, the man and Fulci, the filmmaker that has been published in English--making SPLINTERED VISIONS a cause for celebration among serious Fulci fans. The book is also lavishly illustrated with a number of rare stills, posters and advertising materials.

A comic book adaptation of a screenplay based on a remake of Lucio Fulci's Zombie. Accompanying CD has the motion picture soundtrack with score composed and performed by Fabio Frizzi & Giorgio Tucci.

Stories by: Glynn Owen Barrass, Andrew Coulthard, Richard Alan Scott, Sarah Walker, J. Edwin Buja, David Agranoff, Anthony Trevino, Michael Housel, John Chadwick, David Voyles, Nora Peevey, B.E. Dantalion. Second volume by Eighth Tower Publications, in a series of anthologies revolving around genre writers and artists who set the parameters and frameworks of the kind of tales that we prefer to read (the first volume was dedicated to HP Lovecraft). Here you will find another varied selection of interpretations inspired by the Gates of Hell film trilogy by the Italian legendary director Lucio Fulci. Many authors do elaborate on themes explicated in the movies, but there are an equal number that only take the barest of essentials from Fulci's works and go off tangentially instead. You will find two tales in which the film features, both in very different ways: Sarah Walker's 'The Evocation of Ansell Jeffers' and Andrew Coulthard's 'The Seventh Gate'. Some stories such as Michael Housel's 'Summer Urges' hint at the threat of the living dead (simultaneously using characters and tropes from the film City of the Living Dead, but only in passing), while John Edwin Buja's wartime-set 'Lost in Hell on the Way to Victory' similarly uses the living dead motif and mentions the Gates of Hell but otherwise makes no reference to anything from the films. More proscribed tomes lie at the heart of both John Chadwick's 'The Book of Belman' (Chadwick's own creation The Book of Belman) and Charles Evans' 'The Black Hole (Robert Bloch's De Vermis Mysteriis). Of course, other stories feature hordes of our favourite brain-munchers running amok, like Glynn Owen Barrass' 'Terror at the Harriet Kingston Motel' and Nora B. Peevy's darkly comedic 'The Witch of Fox Point', which features a cast of memorable characters including a plucky teenager who, along with her witch grandmother and the ghost of a young girl, battle against a veritable swarm of the undead (and zombie cows) in order to save the world. In Richard Alan Scott's 'Son of No one', a real-life event that terrorised New York in the seventies is given an unsettling twist, setting the tale against a palpable sense of genuine fear and panic that really was felt by people at the time, told by a native of NYC in a way that creates a sense of reality that only serves to heighten the unfolding nightmare. David Voyles' 'Last Rites' has its own blackly humorous moments in a well-observed tale set in a typical English town. Music plays a central role in David Agranoff and Anthony Trevino's nightmarish 'Scoring The Season of the Unnamed', So we invite you to barricade yourself into your house, black out the windows, set a fire in the grate, turn on a dim light by which to read, stockpile some weapons perhaps, and settle yourself into a comfortable chair and let these eleven tales of terror accompany you into the small hours of the night.
