There are a few changes this time , the table of contents now are arranged by year and within each year are the films Italian title, there is a seperate chapter on Gothic Television series which began in 1971 influenced by the literary Gothic genre and continued well into the Eighties,and most importantly, Mr.Curti shows the influence of the changes to the Gothic Horror film by the Giallo genre as new Directors such as Dario Argento and Pupi Avati merged both forms for their photoplays and how the once virginal heroines emerged as powers to be reckoned with by over the top violence and nudity peppered throughout some stories. I never realized how many films Director Avati had made since they were never released in this country . The films of Directors Sergio Martino, Paolo Solvey aka Luigi Batzella and Francesco Barilli among others are finally given their due and each film is given in depth cast and credits and DVD/Blu-Ray availability if possible. Of course, his choice of film stills is the icing on the cake. In short, another incredible study by Mr.Curti which is highly recommended to fans of Euro Horror and all things fantastic. Bravo once again, Mr. Curti, by giving us a two volume treasure trove study on this important genre in Italian film History and I hope there will be a volume three. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017* I mis read the book pre-purchase I thought it said the Giallo not Gothic..Nevertheless it’s a very good read introducing me to a lot of movies I’ve never heard of from the greatest era for music and movies in the history of the world, the 1970s. I’m not the best person to take purchase advice regarding 1970s horror movies as I “eat up” anything and everything that’s put out. Easy read, the author does not try to use words nobody understands. The print size (ie font) is small so it is jampacked with the information. A lot of the information I’m not really concerned with things like who was in charge of lighting hairstylists etc. It is not big on photos but there are other books for that. I’ve only just started reading it I can probably add more to the review later if I remember to do so not that you’re eagerly anticipating my amendments. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read. *by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019* A great read filled with valuable insight into the films and the filmmakers who created them. A worthy addition to the library for fans of Italian genre cinema this blows away most books that cover similar ground. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/131855969-italian-gothic-horror-films-1970-1979](https://www.desertcart.it/products/131855969-italian-gothic-horror-films-1970-1979) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
