GordonCole Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wondering if TCM has ever had a Giallo fest. Would be fun to see some of the stuff from Bava, Argento and even Franju, plus more recent fare. Any fans here? "Mill of the Stone Women" would be a great addition to the lineup.

film lover 293 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Uncertain who Giallo is. "Mill of the Stone Women" (1965?) was directed by a Giorgio Ferroni. I do love Mario Bavas' work--Black Sunday (1961) & Black Sabbath especially--Barbara Steele was marvelous in the 1st, Boris Karloff in 2nd. Black Sunday was shown in Oct. 2014, Black Sabbath not since 2008 (according to User Reviews Section of TCM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a huge number of Bava and Argento films, but I have seen several. May we add Lucio Fulci to this list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 filmlover: 'Giallo' is not a person; it's a kind of genre-name for Italian-made suspense/horror movies from the '60s, '70s and '80s as near as I can tell. As for LUCIO FULCI he directed some very gory movies that TCM may not wanna show. At least in un-cut versions. Yow! (Not that I'd object, of course). 'Character development' wasn't a priority in the Fulci films I've seen (THE GATES OF HELL, THE BEYOND, NEW YORK RIPPER). What was a priority was loads of blood and guts! In THE GATES OF HELL (aka: "City of the Living Dead") there's this girl who vomits up her intestines sitting in a Jeep while being entranced by a dead priest who's come back to life. Good old Lucio! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 When I think of Lucio Fulci, the first things that come to mind are Dr. Freudstein and the maggots in The House by the Cemetery. Fulci did indeed have a unique style, and I'd like to see more of his films. I'd particularly like to see Beatrice Cenci, based on the same (true) story that moved Percy Bysshe Shelley to write his five-act play The Cenci and Alberto Ginastera to write an opera, Beatrix Cenci, both of which I've seen. I don't remember if I've seen Fulci's Demonia, it sounds familiar. Demonic nuns who were tortured return centuries later to seek revenge. (I was going to post a photo, but they're too horrible).

Tikisoo Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 My introduction to Bava was some movie where maggots were pummeled with a fan through a window onto the actors- into their eyes, nose & mouths. I kept wondering why no one simply closed the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wondering if TCM has ever had a Giallo fest. Would be fun to see some of the stuff from Bava, Argento and even Franju. Not really. Once in a very blue moon TCM has shown the odd one - usually on Underground - but it's like pulling teeth to get them to show any kind of quantity of such product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameselliot Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Black Sabbath (1963) was shown after midnight on Friday the 13th appropriately enough. What they programmed was the re-edited AIP import that played theaters and not Bava's original version I Tre Volti Della Paura/The Three Faces of Fear. It was an excellent print, beautiful color and audio. No scratches, spreckles, just perfect. I tried to copy it to a DVD but my provider ATT puts a block on TCM.

NipkowDisc Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 if I was programming for tcm you'd get a real mario bava treat... his first film 'caltiki ll mostro immortale', which big self-professed cinemaphiles tcm never show, followed by black sunday.

NipkowDisc Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 and tcm never shows any of k. gordon murray's mexican horror imports either. they call themselves cinema aficionadoes? some of chubusco-azteca studios' horror films have truly astounding atmospheric cinematography. that oughta mean something to an outfit like tcm and yet they never show mexican horror genre films with the great abel salazar or german robles. true space cadets know slackness when they see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, dude I love Salazar in "The Brainiac" and you are so right that any cinema fan would dig him! Mexican horror films are a commodity that TCM has neglected and also Santo stuff. Speaking of K. Gordon Murray makes me really disgusted that in a psychotronic festival on TCM what better film could they show than his highly celebrated "Shanty Tramp". I dig those B-listers!
