About
Gialli
Gialli is the plural term for Giallo, literally, Italian for yellow. The term is applied to suspense/detective thrillers. In the 1930’s, novels by authors such as Agatha Christie were published in Italy with yellow covers, thus the name.

Zombies
The Zombie film was born in 1932 with Victor Halperin’s “White Zombie”. It came of age in Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead”, and developed a sense of humor with the “Evil Dead” series.

Witch Hunts
A surplus of films has been made on both the European and the colonial American paranoia, which culminated in burning people at the stake for witchcraft. This has been a favorite horror theme as early in the genre’s history as 1921 with “Haxan".
