Green Inferno aka Cannibal Holocaust II (1988)

There aren't really any cannibals in Cannibal Holocaust II. It's been a few days since I've seen it so it's starting to feel like a fever dream, but I distinctly remember no on screen cannibalism.
Manhattan Baby - US poster

Manhattan Baby – US poster

I imagine most of my fellow Fulci fanatics would agree Manhattan Baby is not a high point in the great goremaster's career. This lacklustre shitter has, however, inspired a lot of great poster art.

Lucio Fulci

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...
