'''Lucio Fulci''' was an Italian screenwriter and director, best known for splattery [[Giallo|gialli]] and [[Horror Tropes|horror]] films (though he also made [[Western|westerns]] and comedies). His films seldom pass up an excuse for gore, and the effects are consistently over-the-top — sometimes horrifyingly convincing, sometimes [[Special Effect Failure|amusingly fake]], but always extreme. His films are driven by theme rather than visual style; they tend to be deeply pessimistic, and propelled toward nihilistic [[Downer Ending|Downer Endings]].
▲== His best-known films (all from the period 1971-1982) are: ==
* ''Lizard in a Woman's Skin'', a psychedelic [[Police Procedural]].
* ''Don't Torture a Duckling'', an extremely pessimistic ''giallo'' touching on themes of small-town xenophobia as the townspeople suspect all of the "outsiders" for a rash of child-murders.
* ''Four of the Apocalypse'', a dark [[Spaghetti Western]] based on stories by Bret Harte.
* ''[[Zombi 2]]'' (known as ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' in the UK and ''Zombie'' in the US), where a Caribbean island is infested with zombies. Titled ''Zombi 2'' because ''[[Dawn of the Dead (
* ''[[City of the Living Dead]]'', zombie flick with religious tyings which was followed by two loose "sequels" (Read below)
* ''[[The Beyond]]'' (a.k.a. ''Seven Doors of Death''), a sad, thoughtful horror film based on the works of [[
* ''[[The House
* ''The New York Ripper'', a [[Serial Killer]] film widely decried as misogynistic and has a serial killer that sounds like ''[[Donald Duck]]''.
