Horror Hall of Fame: Lucio Fulci is inducted in the latest episode!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

In the latest episode of our Horror Hall of Fame video series, we return to Italy, home of previous Hall of Fame inductee Dario Argento, to add another legendary Italian filmmaker to the ranks of our Hall of Famers. This time, the genre icon we're inducting is Lucio Fulci, the man who gave us the unforgettable visual of a zombie fighting a shark in his film Zombie (a.k.a. Zombi 2). The Lucio Fulci collection can be purchased at THIS LINK.

Known as "The Godfather of Gore", a title he shares with Herschell Gordon Lewis, Fulci also directed such films as A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, Don't Torture a Duckling, The Psychic, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, The House by the Cemetery, The New York Ripper, and many more. 25 years have passed since we lost Fulci due to a diabetes-related illness in 1996, but his films remain very popular with horror fans. To celebrate his life and career with us, check out the video embedded above!

Here's what the Horror Hall of Fame series is all about: 

What does it take to become a Horror icon? Whether it be the Filmmakers orchestrating the frights, the Artists crafting the gore, or the Actors engineering the scares, this series takes an in-depth look at the men and women who paved the way for an entire generation of horror fans, and made the genre what it is today.

This episode was Written and Narrated by Ben Skinner, Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
