All 3 facts

  1. 1

    Controversy and Censure

    After the film was rejected for a UK cinema certificate in 1984 chief censor James Ferman ordered the original print to be re-exported back to the rights holder in Italy. This was to avoid any possible prosecution of either the UK distributor or the BBFC itself.

  2. 2

    Giallo Legend

    Lucio Folci is one of the greatest names of Italian giallo, a subgenre with an amazing success in the 70s and the 80s.

  3. 3

    They Are Not... ¡The Same Person!

    Due to an error in the book 'Beyond Terror: The Films of Lucio Fulci' (1999), Almanta Suska is often reported to be a pseudonym for actress Antonella Interlenghi, but they are in fact two different actresses.
