The UK Horror Channel is giving Italian horror
maestro Lucio Fulci a much deserved season this August, comprising of four of his most
memorable films. Genre classics that were either banned or heavily censored in
the UK during the late seventies, early eighties.
Fulci, the forerunner of Italian
splatter, once said that violence IS Italian art, and who would disagree with
him when you look at the line-up, which comprises such ground-breaking master-pieces
as the 1979 iconic "Zombie Flesh Eaters" (Sat Aug 3, 22:55) and the 1981 zombie shocker "House by the Cemetery" (Sat Aug 24, 22:55). Both are network
premieres.
The other two titles are Channel favourites "City of the Living Dead" (Sat Aug 10, 22:55 ) and "The Beyond" (Sat Aug 17, 22:55 ).
The
season will be exclusively hosted and introduced by Fulci’s music maestro Fabio
Frizzi and Spencer Hickman from Death Waltz Records.
