Last week Blue Underground unleashed on the masses the Lucio Fulci classics Zombie (1979) and The House By The Cemetery (1981) on blu-ray. Being an avid horror fan I’m used to having my favorite movies released every couple years in new collectors sets and special editions. This is the first time either of these movies [...]
The absolute first thing you need to know is when. It’s just that simple… when. When what? When are you going to see the new theatrical release of Lucio Fulci’s eye gouging zombie epic… well, ZOMBIE!!! Quite a few folks have had the pleasure to catch some original 35mm prints of this film from various [...]

You know what’s cooler than Italian Week at The Blood Sprayer? Getting free Italian horror shirts, courtesy of Fright Rags, during Italian Week…THAT’S what is!!!
Not all horror fans enjoy or appreciate the giallo – the distinctly Italian brand of thriller that peaked in popularity in the 1970’s and is associated with black-gloved killers, graphic murders, stylish cinematography, and abundant nudity.

A polarizing movie among horror fans, many consider this Fulci film to be his seminal achievement.
“Excessive” slow-motion sequences of exploding torsos (no such thing, I say) landed this film on the UK’s infamous “Video Nasty” list, and with it we kick off an ongoing series showcasing these “Sadist Videos.”

“New York City: It’s a nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to die there!”
Come celebrate the event 30 years in the making.
I find Mike Baronas to be an inventive and dedicated man. And in fact when I heard whispers of this idea from him, I was only jealous that I hadn’t thought of it first. Two shirts, each representing two equal but decisive camps; a team for Dario Argento and one for Lucio Fulci. Team Argento [...]
Jeff discusses one of his favorite Fulci films, City of the Living Dead, and takes a look at the new Blu-ray release from Blue Underground…
At one point, every horror fan is required to face the fact that much of what constitutes straight-up horror during Italy’s gory years is essentially xerox cinema of varying degrees. Outside the beautiful black-and-white gothics that first populated Italy’s horror landscape, the vernacular of the giallo, and cannibalistic jungle romps– there just isn’t much originality [...]
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning for ITALIAN HORROR!
As a young pup living in small town New Jersey we seemed to have one thing that was quite plentiful, video stores. Not Blockbuster or Hollywood Video.
