This book is intended to cover Italian horror films released between the years 1979 and 1994.</span> </div><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:100%;">Why choose those years? Well, primarily for convenience. They mark the release dates of Lucio Fulci's <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Zombie</span>, the film that instigated the last great wave of Italian horror, and Michele Soavi's <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Dellamorte dellamore</span>, 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.</span></p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Information:</span><br />Paperback, 252 pages (September, 2005)<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Publisher:</span><br />Luminary Press, a Division of <a href="http://www.midmar.com/">Midnight Marquee Press, Inc.</a><br /><br /><strong>Available from</strong>:<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1887664556/qid=1131893270/sr=8-11/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i7_xgl14/002-1099104-1678403?v=glance&s=books&amp;n=507846">Amazon.com</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18920252-113189343781090396?l=jimharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Harpernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18920252.post-1131891569972948812005-11-13T14:18:00.000Z2005-11-14T11:38:07.463Z<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/1900486393.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px;" src="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/1900486393.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Synopsis:</span><br />The slasher movie is the bloodiest incarnation of the modern horror film, tainted by criticisms of misogyny, yet remaining - on and off - a box-office draw for thirty years.
