Hangmen, Masques and Secrets: the Italian Horror in the Sixties

In the 1960s, a series of small films that enjoyed worldwide success formed a sort of Italian look at genre. With contributions from a number of masters (Dario Argento, Pupi Avati) and critics, the characteristics and strengths of an original idea of horror, where pop aesthetics and transgressive contents play an important role, are reconstructed.
