I've only seen Zombie and House by the Cemetery and a look at IMDb showed an extensive body of work which surprised me. Some of the titles are intriguing and I'm interested in knowing what Anchor Bay will be issuing. I'll definitely get Zombie (fan of the genre, you know) as it's a real gore-fest. That's the film with the famous scene where a zombie grabs a girl's hair through a window and pulls her face towards a nasty splinter and as it enters her eye she doesn't blink.

I just remembered that I've also seen The Gates of Hell. Those who are interested in giallo should definitely see his work. You might want to rent some titles on tape before deciding what's a keeper. I don't know if he's done anything as stylish as Argento's Suspiria and Deep Red or Bava's awesome Planet of the Vampires but he has certainly contributed to Italian horror cinema.
