Fear is an inherent emotion in every human being. Even though one may put up a strong facade in the face of the unknown, there will still be that one thing that still scares you even if you are old enough to know that fear only exists in the mind. The most common fears of man include heights and a certain fear of clowns, yet there are also those that are less known of and are even very ridiculous like the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, better known as arachibutyrophobia.
Fear is also being capitalized on in the world of movies and films, and the horror genre is one that never goes out of style. This genre is where Lucio Fulci, the Godfather of Gore, is best at. He is the proponent of gory films that depict so much violence Beyond Terror that his films are often accessed underground.
Fulci was born on the 17th of June in the year 1927. He was an Italian film director, screenwriter, and actor all in one. He is known at present as the Godfather Of Gore for all his masterpieces that paved the way for zombie movies and other subgenres of the classic horror film.
It is easy to assume, based on his perfectly made horror films, that he has started very early off on the road to macabre. Contrary to popular belief, Fulci was actually once a med student when he was at the university. He just employed the knowledge that he had gained about the human anatomy to give a new hair rising definition to the word torture.
When he finally stopped med school, he was, for a time, employed as an art critic. This job helped him gain a better understanding of art and what really defines beauty, which is incorporated in his most brilliant masterpieces. When he had finally gotten round to the world of film, young and eager Fulci went on to be a comedy screenwriter. His ambitious nature landed him a directing job, working closely with the most brightest and most successful comedians of the day. But even so, he has not acquired fame and the movies he made were only so so.
It was only when he decided to go into the horror genre that he gained the fame that was due to him. He became an instant hot shot in his own country with the well made horror classic Dont Torture A Duckling. It was viewed as an anti catholic film that has gotten loads of scathing reviews from people, but that only served to make the movie even more famous.
He is also a master of zombie films that are favorites of fans up until the present time. Zombi 2 has helped him gain international fame. This violent film with a serious overdose of the walking dead has been marketed in some countries as a sort of sequel to another equally famous zombie film.
Most of his films are given an R rating by distributors due to the intense graphic scenes that it features. He has become a master of injury to the eye scenes, wherein the human eyeball is either pierced or pulled out of its socket. When he went into a partnership with another famous Italian screenwriter, Fulci has managed to make the most violent and gory films in the history of movies, which made him the favorite of horror fans until today.
In his book, Stephen E. Thrower plunges into the colorful career of the man that has become an enigma during his life and even more so in his death. The book has a foreword by Antonella Fulci. It has the most complete details about the man that is Lucio Fulci.
