The finale in the Mark Doubt Giallo Series. “The first thing I thought when watching Stage Fright was “I wish I’d watched this in a triple bill with Murder Rock and Opera.” Like Fulci’s Frenzied Flashdance pastiche, Michele Soavi’s Stage Fright is a late foray into Giallo, and focuses on the performing arts. Where Stage Fright differs from (and is superior to) Fulci’s movie is in its creativity and its streak of self-awareness. Murder Rock, while a lot of fun, did feel like Fulci going through the…“
With over 70 credits to his name, Lucio Fulci was a prolific director of films of various genres including Horror (Zombie Flesh Eaters, 1979), Giallo (Don’t Torture A Duckling, 1972), Comedy (How we Stole the Atomic Bomb, 1966) Western (Four of the Apocalypse, 1975) and Musicals (Juke Box Kids, 1959).
Dario Argento, certainly the highlight of the Italian movement and the director who saw the most success outside of his native Italy, would make a slew of fantastic, decadent gialli that still found a place amongst the killer dolls, burnt-face dream demons and hockey mask killers.

Born in 1948, French-Algerian actress Edwige Fenech moved from France to Rome in 1968 and found success in many genres of cinema. She is perhaps best known for her roles in two genres – commedia sexy all'italiana (softcore sex farces popular in Italy at the time) and, of course, Giallo. Fenech would star in the films of Mario Bava, Andrea Bianchi and Ruggero Deodato, and in a number of starring roles for director Sergio Martino.

Following in the footsteps of the great auteur Mario Bava, a new generation of names were to become synonymous with horror, thriller and exploitation cinema. Bava had popularised the rise of psychosexual thrillers in Italy, but it was not until the 1970s that Giallo began to truly take off elsewhere. Ornately-titled productions such as Dario Argento’s The Bird With ….
As the saying goes “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. Nothing rings more true than this exact quote concerning 'Ghoulies’
In 1971, as Italian contemporaries adopted and adapted Mario Bava’s Giallo template to raise the fledgling genre to its headiest heights, Italian genre cinema’s original auteur returned to finish a job he started in 1964, and help to create a second new genre within horror.
