Un giovane giornalista, dopo aver intervistato il famoso Edgar Allan Poe, decide di trascorrere la notte del 2 novembre nella villa abbandonata di Lord Blackwood, che si dice sia infestata da spiriti maligni e dalla quale nessuno è mai uscito vivo. Film che richiama il gotico a tutto spiano, girato da un Margheriti in stato di grazia, a mio avviso. Una fiaba nera, dove il fascino di Barbara Steele irrompe prepotentemente sulla scena e seduce lo spettatore ancora prima che il protagonista. Una pellicola ingiustamente dimenticata, che ha ispirato un sacco di registi di genere negli anni a seguire e che merita un recupero da parte di chiunque ami il cinema. Belle le atmosfere della mega villa decadente e la colonna sonora domina in ogni scena. Film da brividi, assolutamente immortale, come gli spiriti che si incontrano all'interno di quelle mura, malinconici, rabbiosi e tormentati.

In compagnia delle Donne al Volante – Liliana Russo e Katia De Rossi – martedì 9 maggio, è stato ospite Gian Luca Margheriti che ha presentato il suo nuovo libro 101 cose da fare a Bergamo almeno una volta nella vita. Lo scrittore nato a Milano, ma a lungo residente a Bergamo, vi accompagnerà in un viaggio indimenticabile alla scoperta di Bergamo. Cosa c'è dietro la Fontana dei Propilei? Dove si trova esattamente il cadavere del grande Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni? Queste sono solo alcune delle domande a cui potrete dare una risposta grazie alle 101 cose consigliate in questo libro. Inoltre Gian Luca ci parla dell'odio profondo che c'è tra i bergamaschi e i bresciani: «Tra i due non scorre buon sangue e c'è una leggenda che risale a questo odio. I bergamaschi pensavano che i bresciani fossero i padroni della luna e quindi organizzarono una spedizione per rubare la luna ai bresciani, senza riuscirci». Infine ci parla di una curiosità che c'è nel libro: «A Villa D'Adda c'è un traghetto a cavo, che si sposta sfruttando la corrente. Secondo molti è stato progettato da Leonardo Da Vinci e nel Codice Windsor (di proprietà della Famiglia Reale inglese) c'è il progetto di questo traghetto».

Nel nuovo episodio di TuttoLibri, la nostra Liliana Russo presenta 101 cose da fare a Bergamo almeno una volta nella vita di Gian Luca Margheriti

Nel PN1 di lunedì 20 marzo, con Miky Boselli e Marco Vignoletti è stato ospite Gian Luca Margheriti. Lo scrittore è co-autore insieme a Francesco Lugli della graphic novel "Sindrome 75". Il titolo si rifà ad una sindrome immaginaria che colpisce Milano e la invade di mostri. Cinque supereroi emergono dalle viscere della città, diventando il sistema di difesa dalle inquietanti creature. «È la storia della nostra modernità: viviamo sempre peggio e abbiamo bisogno di trovare dei sistemi per difendere la nostra felicità e non essere più dominati dal mondo che capisce sempre meno l'essere umano».MILANO APOCALITTICA – Gli autori hanno scelto la città di Milano come sfondo per la storia. «Io e Francesco siamo appassionati di fumetti, la maggior parte dei quali ambientati a New York, Los Angeles o Londra. Volevamo creare una racconto apocalittico che vede protagonista la nostra città». Le vicende sono ambientate in molti luoghi della città, che celano storie e leggende. «Le ultime 5 pagine del volume sono una sorta di guida turistica della Milano trovata nel fumetto».

Adrian Smith joins me as we return to our long-term discussion of the films of Antonio Margheriti. In the 1980's he made several ‘military men on a mission' films for various producers. These movies aped everything from THE DIRTY DOZEN to RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2 (1985) accomplishing much with meager budgets. Margheriti's expertise in special effect work and miniatures were a major help in keeping costs under control. These sometimes great and sometimes insane effects are part of the fun, especially as we get higher definition prints that allow for certain crazy details to become evident.   CODE NAME: WILD GEESE (1984) was the first of trio of jungle action movies Margheriti made with British actor Lewis Collins in the lead and it is easy to see why Collins was briefly considered to play James Bond. He projects ‘tough guy' hardness well and is a solid actor to boot. This film surrounds him with an international cast including an Oscar winner (Ernest Borgnine) and a couple of classic screen bad guys playing nice (Lee Van Cleef and Klaus Kinski) giving everything a sweaty sheen of near-respectability, even if Kinski is very oddly dubbed. Throw in a ridiculous car chase, a few dozen explosions, gratuitous Mimsy Farmer, a surprise villainous turn and it is easy to overlook the regularly disappearing plot, ill-defined motivations and bizarre effects choices. This one is fun in all the over-the-top ways that 1980's action cinema aimed to be. So, hop into that small helicopter and let's torch some opium fields for exciting but vague reasons! Woo hoo!   The show's email is thebloodypit@gmail.com and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this or any of Antonio Margheriti's films. And join Adrian and I on our other program Wild, Wild Podcast as we start a season focused on Luigi Cozzi! Thanks for listening!

After our recent discussion of BED OF A THOUSAND PLEASURES (1972) over on Wild, Wild Podcast Adrian Smith and I continued our conversation about Antonio Margheriti here on The Bloody Pit. Taking a look at this exceptional little ghost tale was long overdue and it is a shame that THE UNNATURALS (1969) is so difficult to see. It's one of the director's best gothic chillers and that is saying something. It feels very much like an early version of Bava's LISA AND THE DEVIL (1973) and even shares some of the score from Carlo Savina who was clearly not above getting paid twice for the same music! Hopefully some Blu-Ray company will bring this excellent little film to a larger audience soon. Adrian and I discuss the period setting and finely detailed interiors that were borrowed from a more expensive movie. The film is a classic example of the Old Dark House tale with bits of the James Whale 1932 movie of that title featuring heavily in the open act's plot mechanism. Just how stuck in the mud was that car, really! Since this is a German co-production we look at the cast with an eye toward the inclusion of several familiar faces from the krimi cycle that was still thriving at the time. Happily, the wonderful Luigi Pigozzi (a.k.a. Alan Collins) has a major part in this film. Often called the Italian Peter Lorre he was a frequent collaborator with Margheriti and THE UNNATURALS may mark the most significant screen role of his career. He makes the most of it! So, with gorgeous widescreen photography, some surprising nudity and a slowing unfolding series of revelations this is a great little film. Certainly it is an attention grabbing look at lust, greed and murder as a catalyst for possibly supernatural revenge. If you have any comments or questions thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. We'd love to know what's on your mind. Thank you for listening to the show!

This time we return to the world of the Decamerotici to see what Antonio Margheriti could do with his version of the Arabian Nights. And, brace yourself, it's actually pretty good. Although we do have to qualify that claim quite a lot. So, join us on a magic carpet ride through the wild, wild tales of a Sultan with erectile dysfunction, an Aladdin with carpet dysfunction, and a Queen whose sexual appetite is defeated by a healthy supply of bananas. Rod's detective work uncovered the fabulous Florentine castle location used in the film, which is currently the focus of a campaign to save it from ruin.

This week we continue our retrospective we call Dead Writers Writing with the 1970 film Web of the Spider. Web of the Spider (Italian: Nella stretta morsa del ragno) is a 1971 horror film directed by Antonio Margheriti. The film is about the writer Alan Foster (Anthony Franciosa) who accepts a bet from Edgar Allan Poe (Klaus Kinski) and his friend Thomas Blackwood (Enrico Osterman) to stay a night in Blackwood's castle. At the castle, Foster meets Blackwood's sister Elisabeth (Michèle Mercier) and Julia (Karin Field). Foster has sex with Elisabeth and wakes up to find that she was stabbed by someone whose body vanishes, allowing Foster to realize the house is possessed by ghosts.Web of the Spider is a color remake of Margheriti's earlier film Castle of Blood.This is Episode 321.

For years John Hudson and I have used this podcast at cover the films of Antonio Margheriti. These shows have ranged from westerns to gothic horror to military action to science fiction and goofy Disney styled comedies. This time we tackle an Arabian Nights kind of tale the director made in 1962 and for Mr. Hudson it will be his last in the series. Not that he is leaving the podcast! Nope. He'll be sticking around to cover a variety of different kinds of movies in his inimitable fashion. But The Bloody Pit will continue to cover Margheriti movies with a new co-host taking over and this episode is the hand-off! Adrian Smith will assume the position of fellow explorer of the long career of the director with this being a branching of his blog focused on the subject called Blogeriti. So, in this show I first talk with Hudson about our subject and then I do the same with Adrian. It may make for a long episode but we still don't completely cover the plot dense madness of the film in question! So much happens in this thing.  Between the three of us we discuss the cast and crew of THE GOLDEN ARROW (1962) with a few funny stories about the production. We look over star Tab Hunter's career and make fun of his casting in this very Arabian tale. Aren't all Sultans blonde? We marvel at the beauty of the Warner Blu-Ray and wish for more of Margheriti's color films from the same period to be given similar treatment. The complicated story the film tells is only partially dissected because it is packed with so many odd details and strange characters. Of course, that is part of what makes the film so fun! The special effects come under examination with the usual excellent miniatures complimenting the flying carpets and magical arrows. There are many sideroads taken as we talk with the strangest being our digression into American sitcom titles. Sorry about that – it couldn't be avoided. And what IS the plural of genie?   If you've anything to comment about in this episode please write us at thebloodypit@gmail.com or drop into the show's FaceBook page. Thank you for listening and, if you can, let others know about what we do here

Continua il viaggio nella giungla del Cannibal Movie da parte del nostro Sinossi Stilgar (aka Stilgar il Sinusoide Sinossaro); seconda tappa che vede protagonista la pellicola "Apocalypse Domani" del 1980 firmato da Anthony M. Dawson (aka Antonio Margheriti), sceneggiatura, oltre dello stesso Margheriti, firmata dalla penna illustre di Dardano Sacchetti (il gatto a nove code, Zombi 2, Reazione a catena, Inferno, Demoni e mille altri ancora a favore del Genere). Una pellicola a basso budget che può essere considerata un tassello fondamentale per la linea di sangue tracciata dal genere Cannibal, un film in data odierna ancora attuale: merito di certi aspetti, fra citazioni cinematografiche e letterarie, che scoprirete seguendo la frattaglia tematica proposta dal menù odierno. Allentate le cinte dei vostri stomaci e andate giù di mandibola vorace.

Created by German science fiction authors K. H. Scheer and Walter Ernsting, Perry Rhodan is the central character in the world's longest running science fiction book series. Publication began in 1961 and a new novella has hit newsstands in Germany every week ever since!  That means there have been more than 3000 Perry Rhodan stories in the past 59 years as well as 850 additional spinoff novels with no end in sight. In fact, the series passed the one billion copies sold mark all the way back in 1986. There was an attempt to bring the series to American in the 1970's with the first 139 entries being translated into English and published but financial disputes ended this arrangement in 1979. I also suspect that they weren't as popular over here as in their home country which has kept the continuing galaxy spanning tales of Perry Rhodan from the English-speaking world ever since. Strangely, there has only been one attempt to bring this epic science fiction series to the screen. MISSION STARDUST (1967) uses the first two Perry Rhodan novellas to bring a version of the character and his world to the movies. The basics of the printed tale set things in motion (minus the more interesting/expensive parts) and then the story is melded with a standard Euro-Spy plotline to give us one of the stranger variations on the genre that the 1960's ever produced. On his Antonio Margheriti Blog, Adrian Smith pointed out that this film's special effects were done by Margheriti and his team sometime after the completion of the Gamma One films. Dr. Smith suggested that the film was worthy of a conversation and after a rewatch I had to agree. It's a bizarre genre mash-up that works far better than it really should even if the fans of the book series have every right to treat this film with the same disdain that the female alien Thora has for the human race! If you have any comments or suggestions for the podcast please write to thebloodypit@gmail.com or comment over on the show's FaceBook page. Thank you for listening and we'll be back in a few weeks.

For the 100th episode John Hudson returns for another discussion of an Antonio Margheriti film! It's taken a long time to finally get to triple digits and I'm happy to say that we treat the occasion with very little reverence. In fact, it's just like every other episode Hudson and I've done together with him constantly messing with me while I try desperately to keep things on track. I wouldn't have it any other way! BATTLE OF THE WORLDS (1961) is the second of Margheriti's science fiction films. As with his other cinematic SF adventures he directed the film while also overseeing the special effects. It was this movie that convinced the money people at MGM that he could be trusted to make cheap but good-looking space movies leading to the financing of his quartet of Gamma One films in 1965-67. For years this was a staple of Saturday afternoon TV broadcasts but after decades of public domain copies (both VHS and DVD) it seems improbable that we'll ever get a Blu-Ray of this fun film. It is the presence of the great Claude Raines that makes this one to seek out for fans of his decades long career and he lifts this movie on his shoulders in every scene. It's a shame YouTube is the current best way to see the film because a special edition video release would bring deserved attention to both the director and often neglected 1960's space opera genre. Special effects may have advanced well past this film's day but the care on view is still worth more widespread attention. Mr. Hudson and I start the show with a discussion of some recent viewings and a side conversation about Stephen King's output over the last couple of decades. Those expecting certain invisible creatures to get mentioned won't be disappointed even if I was. As usual. Sometimes I wonder why I tolerate this guy! Any comments can be sent to thebloodypit@gmail.com or dropped over on the show's FaceBook page. We'd be glad to hear from you as we plot the next one hundred episodes!

John Hudson returns to continue our look at the films of Antonio Margheriti. This time we examine one of his last completed pictures ALIEN FROM THE DEEP (1989) which nakedly steals elements from several 80's Hollywood hits. In fact, the movie can become a bit of a ‘spot the reference' game as it goes along copping half a dozen ideas or sequences from other, more well-known works. But does this movie have enough creativity and energy to make an entertaining new thing out of all these recycled pieces? Joy is often in the eye of the beholder….  What this film certainly does have is the epic onscreen presence of Charles Napier and Margheriti regular Alan Collins a.k.a. Luciano Pigozzi. These two men shoulder the acting weight of a script that often seems to have been missing a few important pages. Filmed in the Philippines with the usual explosive miniatures to enhance the scope of the action this is one part sweaty jungle adventure, one part evil corporation tale and one part deadly alien attack. Oh! I forgot to mention the alien until now! But the film doesn't get around to the big murderous creature until more than half the running time is over either so I don't feel too bad. And any similarities between this film's alien and the monsters from a certain big budget series of hit movies is completely coincidental, I'm sure.  Mr. Hudson and I dig into this one and are happily surprised by the lack of onscreen animal deaths even if someone really was throwing snakes at actors for one scene. We get excited at certain points in the discussion as we make note of the script's problems and the variability of the character's personalities. And, if you pay attention, you'll hear me call Charles Napier ALAN Napier and that is a very silly mistake to make. Of course, the idea of Charles Napier as the 1966 TV Batman's butler is pretty damned cool!  The show can be reached at thebloodypit@gmail.com for any comments or suggestions.

John Hudson and I dive back into our years long look at the career of Italian director Antonio Margheriti with a show on one of his early 80's war films. Known under several titles but currently available to stream on Amazon under TORNADO (1983) this is a violent action picture modeled closely on the hit movies THE DEER HUNTER and APOCALYPSE NOW. Like those bigger budgeted affairs this film tries to make statements about the horrors of the Vietnam war while simultaneously bringing exciting action scenes to the big screen. This attempted balance doesn't always play well in any story and we find ourselves differing on the success of this effort. And both of us end up puzzled by TORNADO's odd ending leaving the two of us wondering what might have been the original intent. Still, we enjoy quite a few things in the film including the regular appearance of the Alan Collins a.k.a. Luciano Pigozzi as an intrepid reporter trying to do his job in combat. He's one of our favorite Italian character actors even if I manage to get his first name wrong at least once in this episode!  We discuss the details of this fast paced tale and spoil the entire film right to the final scene so, if you want to see this without knowing how it ends, you might want to listen to us after a viewing. Luckily this one isn't difficult to find online although, as a warning, Margheriti continues his streak of onscreen reptile deaths with this film. Of course, he dips his lead actor in a pit of pig feces as well so maybe things equal out in the end. Our conversation takes many barely related side roads (Eddie Dezeen?) but we do eventually wind our way back to the main topic each time. And, for the curious, the damned invisible chimp rears his unwanted head again. Why do I record shows with Hudson?  Questions and comments can be sent to thebloodypit@gmail.com or left on the show's Facebook page. We'd love to hear from your thoughts about the films of Antonio Margheriti or any of the odd things we babble about in this one. Thank you for playing along with our lengthy trip through these films and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Mark Maddox joins us for a discussion on the first of four classic Italian sci-fi movies from Director Antonio Margheriti - "The Wild Wild Planet" (1966), starring Tony Russel. Lisa Gastoni, Franco Nero and Massimo Serato. The crew of the "Gamma One" space station discovers strange dealings involving missing people, men in black and a bizarre planet. It's all ahead on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

Antonio Margheriti directed several westerns over his very long career. VENGEANCE (1968) was his second effort in the genre after 1967's DYNAMITE JOE and the evidence here shows he was very comfortable in the field. Margheriti also takes a full writers credit on this one meaning that he had a strong hand in shaping the story instead of just being a director for hire. Perhaps this means we can see what 'Mr. Dawson' was thinking in the late 1960's about westerns and the specific Italian slant on them when looking at this early in the cycle example. What are the necessary elements that need to be included?   Attention grabbing opening scene? Check. Clint Eastwood-style loner? Check. Revenge plot fueling the action? Check. Intricate crime with backstabbing and betrayal? Check. Gorgeous female character with little to do? Check. Charismatic bad guy with odd affectations? Check. As much violence as the times will allow? Check.   Seems like he had everything in place. But did he craft a good movie? Join John Hudson and I as we go through this well produced film starring Richard Harrison and a host of excellent European actors including Margheriti regular Luciano Pigozzi. (Was there an actor who appeared in more of his movies?) I complain about the plain nature of Harrison's name while Hudson laments the missed opportunity for a cameo by the Invisible Chimp. We talk about the Savina score, the title song, the joys of catching smaller onscreen details and pointing out where the film could/should have been shortened. We also take a few unexpected side roads with the lengthy DAWN OF THE DEAD conversation being pretty ridiculous even if it did relate to the 'less is more' concept.   Near the end we discuss an email sent in by a listener and if you'd like to comment on the show the address is thebloodypit@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you! Thank you for downloading and listening to us babble. We'll be back soon with more.

What do you get when you combine Mario Bava, Tudor Gates, the Woolner Brothers and Antonio Margheriti? You get NAKED...YOU DIE! This is a project that started out as a Woolner production to be directed by Bava but ended up eventually being made by Margheriti. According to Tim Lucas the Gates script remained intact but he faults the film for not being as well crafted a film as Bava would have directed. He may have a point but the joys of this film shine through regardless of any possible 'what ifs'. John Hudson joins me again to dig into this Margheriti thriller - or is it a giallo? There certainly are black gloves and a number of beautiful young ladies meet an early death. There is a semi-effective police investigation and an ersatz Nancy Drew sneaking around trying to solve the murders taking place on the gorgeous, sun dappled campus of an all girl's college. There are half a dozen possible killers with a multitude of potential motives. There are secretive sexual liaisons, hidden homosexual relationships, leering criminal habits, odd exercise regimens and even some strange vanities that point toward likely guilt. So, the film has a number of the classic elements that would make this a giallo, I guess. But which of these clues are more than simply suspicious and which ones will lead to the serial murderer in the school? If you've ever watched an Italian mystery you know that just following the breadcrumbs might not get you anywhere but this one plays fair. Mostly. Mr. Hudson and I lounge poolside with the young girls of St. Hilda's College, skulk around the Bughouse with Professor Andre, shake our fingers at the local Peeping Tom and fall in love with the wonderful character of Jill as she uses her new walkie-talkies to put herself in danger - or try to solve the crimes. Michael Rennie may be the cop in charge but it's Jill that eavesdrops her way into our hearts! We do take a couple of short unrelated side roads during this episode and I do apologize for the derision I heap on Marky Mark. I promise not to do that again!

Thank you very much for listening to the show! And don't stand so close to me.

On this episode of the SLPS our heroes are taking a strange journey from the dinosaur filled prehistoric era all the way to the robot filled future. Yes, on this episode they'll be discussing YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE. Directed by Antonio Margheriti under the pseudonym Anthony M. Dawson and written by Margheriti and Robert Bailey. Set before the dawn of time, strange savage beasts roam the land and cave people fight for survival. YOR is the mightiest hunter around but walks alone without a tribe. YOR’s origins are unknown, and the only clue he has it a mystical golden medallion that he’s had around his neck since he was a child. Yor sets on a quest of discovery along with two new companions, a priestess named Kala and her protector Pag to find where he fits in this wo rld. YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE was by far the most successful film Margheriti directed but was critically panned by the likes of Variety, the New York Times and the Washington Post which claimed “Even gluttons for dumbness may find it easy to refrain from second helpings”. To top it all off, YOR was nominated for three Golden Raspberry Awards. However, that being said, the film lives on today with a strong cult following and even the director admits it’s not a great film, but he’s proud of it.

Just in time for the creepy season John Hudson and I dive back into the films of Antonio Margheriti for a gothic horror that deserves to be better known. Set in a huge Scottish castle in which the ancestral family is both broke and (possibly) mad you just know that all kinds of shenanigans are going to be gotten up to! Adding to the complications are a mysterious black-gloved killer, a beautiful visiting cousin that is being pushed onto a handsome family member's...... member...uuuhhh...with an eye toward an heir, a gorgeous 'French' teacher that seems to lounge around the place waiting for sex, a family doctor with an eye to claiming some of the wealth tied up in the estate and an honest-to-God killer gorilla (called an orangutan throughout the film) running around the place occasionally scaring the hell out of people. Sounds like a couple of episodes of The Monkees, don't it? Luckily, Margheriti knows what he's doing with all these bizarre elements so the film is entertaining and not confusing. Of course, with a black gloved killer roaming around the castle SEVEN DEATHS IN A CAT'S EYE has been called a giallo and we discuss my uncomfortable view the film's place in the genre. We also talk about the variability of the 'Scottish' accents; the beautiful Jane Birkin; the castle locations; the use of the titular cat; the very odd vampire legend the film posits; the tricks of doing gothic tales in color and bloody straight razor murders. We also speculate about the contributions of legendary English language dubber Ted Rusoff beyond voicing the Priest character. Rusoff must have been important because he gets an onscreen credit at the beginning of the movie. The show can be reached for comments or suggestions at thebloodypit@gmail.com where we love hearing how many more ways we can insert pointless 1970's pop culture references into each episode. I'm not sure Hudson needs any help in this effort but all notes will be happily read. The Bloody Pit has a FaceBook page where interesting things occasionally get posted if you would like to join up. This episode ends with a new song from Queens of the Stone Age called 'Head Like A Haunted House' and an outtake that has us talking about The Village People. We are strange fellows!

JAWS rip-offs were all the rage in the late 1970's. If you were a film producer of any ambition at that time the massive financial take of Steven Spielberg's world wide hit drew your attention. You can almost imagine the conversations in which moneymen demanded their own killer fish film, "script be damned!" And most of those rip-off scripts were damned - damned bad! It's easy to point to a couple of genuinely good descendants of JAWS (PIRANHA and ALLIGATOR ) to claim that high quality was more common in this narrow Danger in the Water sub-genre but the list of terrible efforts far outnumber the impressive. Who has good memories of TENTACLES (1977) , UP FROM THE DEPTHS (1979), ORCA (1977), TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK (1977),  BARRACUDA (1978)  or MAKO: THE JAWS OF DEATH (1976) the clear winner in the 'Not Even Trying to Hide Our Intentions' contest? Really - who? If you have some love for TENTACLES we need to know why! So where does a film like KILLER FISH (1979) fall on this good/bad scale? As always, merit is in the eye of the beholder so allow John Hudson and I the opportunity to convince you of our clear-eyed vision as we make the case for Antonio Margheriti's entry in the Pissed Off Fish genre. Given the tag line 'The adventure that drags you in, pulls you under and tears you apart!' the film is obviously trading on the allure of deadly fish munching on human flesh to get bums on seats. But this animal attacks tale throws at least two other genres into the mix to keep the story from becoming too predictable. The film begins with a jewel heist set to the tune of dozens of distracting explosions (cue Margheriti miniatures) and eventually slips in a bit of disaster film silliness to keep things off balance (cue embarrassing funnel cloud special effect). The film is packed with tasty humans known mostly from television stardom including Lee Majors, Karen Black and James Franciscus as well as model turned actor (?) Margaux Hemingway and football player turned guest muscle flexor Dan Pastorini. And what the hell is Gary Collins doing in this film? Anyway ..... Join us as we take a look at another Antonio Margheriti film to see where it fits into his long career. Do the Brazilian shooting locations add to the film's charms? Do the jewel thieves adhere to the code of criminal conduct we expect from all screen no-good-niks? Does Margheriti get the chance to work miniatures into the film on multiple occasions? Is the cool bionic sound effect used when Lee Majors makes out with Margaux Hemingway in the shower? Listen and learn! Or watch the film yourself. That's certainly an option. If you have any comments or suggestions the email address is thebloodypit@gmail.com where we'd be thrilled to get your thoughts. The show has a FaceBook page where updates are occasionally posted so please check that out. Thank you for downloading and listening - and stay out of the water!

When is an Antonio Margheriti movie NOT an Antonio Margheriti movie? When it's HERCULES, PRISONER OF EVIL (1964). As followers of this podcast will have noticed I am a fan of the films of Mr. Margheriti and have an ongoing thread of shows covering his work with co-host John Hudson. Our plan is to slowly (oh, so slowly) review each of his movies in no particular order. So imagine my surprise when my Adrian Smith, my co-host from last year's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST episode, said he wanted to cover something directed by the man! Was Adrian trying to muscle into Hudson's job? Nope! It turns out that although Antonio's Anthony Dawson pseudonym is in the credits of this peplum adventure it seems he didn't actual direct it. Margheriti was far too busy completing a different movie and handed the reins of this one over to his assistant director Ruggero Deodato! And that's not the only interesting info Mr. Smith has found about this film. So join Adrian for his second dip into The Bloody Pit as we explore this prime example of an Italian sword and sandal epic. We discuss the various pseudo Hercules characters (Ursus, Samson, Machiste, Flintstone, etc.) that were all transformed into Hercules in the English dubs. We run through this film's story pointing out where the movie adheres to the peplum template and the few places it deviates. This movie sports a monster, some unexplained magic and a few sexy ladies so if you are already a fan of the genre you know what you're in for. We had a few technical issues while recording but I think you'll find the show to be perfectly listenable and pretty informative. The majority credit for this one goes to Adrian who, besides working on his doctoral thesis, has started a blog focused on Margheriti movies called - Blogeriti. Or The Antonio Margheriti Blog. Whichever title seems less silly. I can't wait to see what he has to say about more of my favorites as he covers the man's career. Thank you for downloading and listening to the show. If you have any comments or suggestions the email address for the show is thebloodypit@gmail.com. Let us know what you think and what your favorite peplum adventures are. We'll talk to you next time.

We return to the films of Antonio Margheriti and the decade of the 1970's to see what an Italian made Disney film would look like. You might remember the kind of film we're talking about if you are of a certain age -THAT DARN CAT, GUS, THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG, THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES and certainly THE LOVE BUG which turned a cheap German made car into a fun loving childhood hero. Somehow. And when European producers wish to capitalize on the big budget hits of Hollywood they do the easiest thing possible to create a movie that the public will mistake for American fodder - they hire an American star! In this case, Dean Jones, lead actor in several Disney kiddie features was lured to Italy to make a film just as cute and stupid as the pabulum being force-fed to the little bastards by Uncle Walt's fantasy machine. How well it succeeds will be a test of your own nostalgia or, perhaps, your lack of patience with resolutely silly stories.  John Hudson joins me to dig into this ridiculous science fiction comedy and as difficult a watch as it was for grown men, there are joys amide the pain. Not a lot of joys, but enough to keep us from losing our minds. We talk about the good cast, the odd choice of aspect ratio, the fantastic music, the Italian Peter Lorre, pointless animal testing and bizarre tropes that get trotted put in this genre of Saturday afternoon kiddie matinee. Of course, we also spend a sad amount of time lamenting the extremely short time the mythical Invisible Chimp is a part of the story. Clearly he was a highly paid ape and they could only afford him for a couple of days! As a bonus (?), I also take a minute to complain loudly about one of the dumbest turns of phrase/jokes/sad bits of non-humor from the past that is present in this film in the very first seconds. Sometimes I just have to get things off my chest even if it might make me sound like an old man screaming at clouds. Sorry. Thank you for downloading and listening to the show. Mr. Hudson and I plan to step up production of these Margheriti episodes this year and we even go so far as to announce the next two films we'll cover. We love going through these films and it is a blast see that there are others out there interested enough in his work to listen to us praise him. Join us over on The Bloody Pit Facebook page (which I forgot to mention in this show) or write us a review in iTunes or wherever you find our show. See you next time!

John Hudson returns to the Bloody Pit to help me discuss this amazing cannibal gore film from director Antonio Margheriti. Shot in Atlanta, Georgia during the cooler months of the year lends some fascinating texture to the film and gives the plot about deranged Vietnam Vets a little gravity. And when your story revolves around a virus that somehow transfers cannibalism between people like the flu you need all the seriousness you can muster! Luckily this is one of the very few Margheriti films that has been released to DVD in the US with extras! Among those extras is a very nice 54 minute long documentary about CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE that includes interviews with the director as well as actors John Saxon and Giovanni Lambardo Radice a.k.a. John Morghen. This gives us a little more insight into the film than we usually have and allows for some examination of the ideas presented, which I like! Before we dive into the film Hudson and I catch up a bit with discussion of our upcoming Alice Cooper encounter; John's history with Tarantino theatrical screenings; his rewatch of The Sopranos; my journey through the Hannibal TV series and a general concern for the winter weather. Once we attack our main topic I start with some information on the legendary Italian screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti who is responsible for so many of the classic Euro-Cult films of the 1970's and 80's that entire books should be written about him! As the podcast continues we complain about the often inappropriate score along with an audio example of the sound of blood dripping from meat - high strangeness. There is some talk about flamethrowers and exploding dogs as well as the real animal cruelty in the sewer scenes. We touch on the use of wood as a metaphor (I'm not kidding) and end up wondering what words rhyme with Saxon. Yeah, we're all over the place in this one. Thank you for downloading and listening to the show. We can be contacted at thebloodypit@gmail.com for any comments or complaints. At the end of this episode we lay out the plans for future Bloody Pit shows about Antonio Margheriti as well as the other movies that will be covered in the next few months. We hope you enjoy what we're doing and please stay safe and warm.
