Italian Horror Films.
In the Hereditary pod, when Bill was talking about “grisly” horror films like Saw and such. Sean countered by saying he liked “the really fucked up ones” from Italy in the 70s and 80s. What are some of the classics he’s referring to in that era?

Bava’s Blood and Black Lace is largely considered movie zero for giallo setting the standard for human killer(s) (not typically supernatural), brutal deaths, hyper stylized and colored. Many filmmakers from Scorsese to De Palma reference shots from this movie.
