Stories often featured over-the-top violence and nudity and pushed the limits of what could be shown on the screen. The decade marked the return of specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda and Antonio Margheriti, and the emergence of new talents such as Pupi Avati (\u003ci\u003eThe House with the Laughing Windows\u003c\/i\u003e) and Francesco Barilli (\u003ci\u003eThe Perfume of the Lady in Black\u003c\/i\u003e). The author examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, providing previously unpublished details and production data taken from official papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. Entries include complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production history and analysis. An appendix covers Italian made-for-TV films and mini-series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberto Curti\u003c\/b\u003e is an Italian film historian and a contributor to periodicals and to books published in Italy, Great Britain and Spain as well as the United States.
