The Murder Secret (1988)
Fans of Fulci will get a big kick out of this. It is very much in tune with the madness he spurted out in the late 80s and early 90s. And it's really, really gory.
One of the many dance montages from Murder Rock
Murder Rock (1984) – or Dancing Death – is a seriously underrated effort from the late great Fulci. While not quite as good as his better known works, it’s surprisingly entertaining with a serviceable plot and creepy death scenes. And there’s just something hilariously hypnotic about its many dance scenes. The overly sweaty bodies, the...
City of the Living Dead – French poster
I’m a big fan of this French poster for City of the Living Dead (1980). I love the simplicity of the design and the focus of the film’s most iconic moment. Movie: City of the Living Dead Director: Lucio Fulci Country of movie: Italy Year of movie: 1980 Country of poster: France
Sylvester Stallone’s cameo in Lucio Fulci’s Aenigma
I think the less said about this completely bizarre moment from Fulci’s Aenigma (1987) the better. Thanks to Dan for reminding me about this one.

Dracula in the Provinces – Spanish poster

Saxophone sex scene
Saxophones really had their day in the 1980s. They were the ultimate instrument of seduction and received endless wailing solos. Now their sexy past is often mocked and degraded, while they remain sadly absent from mainstream music. Perhaps our obsession with retro will bring the much missed sax, but until then here is a clip...
Lucio Fulci
Lucio Fulci is not exactly an obscure name in horror. His movies are easily accessible and you’d be hard-pressed to find a horror fan that hasn’t seen at least a few of his films. If so much has already been said about Fulci, why make him the subject of the first post of Starter Pack...
