Every January, we like to pour ourselves a glass of J&B whiskey, sharpen our straight razor and slip on those black gloves to celebrate our favorite horror sub-genre, the giallo.

For those of you who don’t know, a giallo is Italy’s answer to murder mysteries and thrillers that was kicked off by Mario Bava with THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (aka EVIL EYE) in the early 1960s. While filmmakers like Umberto Lenzi made some excellent giallos in the late ’60s/early ’70s such as ORGAMSO and KNIFE OF ICE, the sub-genre became popularized by Dario Argento with THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE. Throughout the 1970s, Argento, along with Sergio Martino, Lucio Fulci, Luciano Ercoli, Aldo Lado and many more, made several visually stunning and viscerally violent cinematic excursions.
