Miss Italy, have you ever visited the Dario Argento Profondo Rosso shop of horrors in Rome, by any chance? It looks like a great place to visit.

No unfortunately I didn't and don't know much about it

Are you a Dario Argento fan? If so, what's your favourite movie? I like Tenebre; one of my old time favourites

Hi Miss Italy,
The Argento shop is in Rome but not exactly quite sure where. It sells books and movies and posters and other genre-related stuff. It also has actual props from Argento movies, too; definitely a place to check out if you go again!
I'm a massive Argento fan. I think he is a master film-maker. Tenebrae is a favourite, also Deep Red - Suspiria, of course. In fact I like all his films. Opera is superb, the perfect subject matter, and Phenomena; his early giallo films are great, like The Bird With The Crystal Plummage. I think he is often imitated, especially by Hollywood, but not many people come close to his films' sheer violent, Grand Guignol spectacle.
Other favourite film-makers are Lucio Fulci and Mario Bava. The great thing about Argento is that he's still making films. I haven't seen his third installment of the Three Mothers trilogy yet, I must catch up. There seems to be so many things to watch and not enough time, nowadays!

Not many but am definitely a fan of Asia Argento and love all of Dario Argento's movies.

Have you seen any George Romero movies?

What are your favourite types of horror films??

I do love Fulci's Zombie movie! Of course, I do like some GAR's zombie movies! Have you seen "Survival of the Dead"? If not, then you should check it out!

Anyways, do you like "House of the Dead" movies? There are only part one and two. I prefer the first part the best than second part.

Haven't seen House of the Dead movies, Ghostman. Love Romero's Dead films, though. I love the Evil Dead trio of movies, also.
Have you seen Tombs of the Blind Dead by Amando de Ossorio? An extraordinary, eerie film. I intend to watch more Ossorio films soon.

Ohh, I know that guy the director from Spain! I did really like his horror spanish film "Night of the Sorcerers".

By the way, do you enjoy Christopher Lee's horror movies? I believe he has at least 250 movies!

Love Christopher Lee and all the Hammer films! THE Dracula, in my opinion. Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt are my other favourite Hammer legends, too.
