Dario Argento: 10/26/03 - 11/01/03

Just as a change of pace, and at your request, we are discussing bodies of works by a particular actor or director. Let's see how you like this!

So -- let's compare and contrast early works by the same director, discuss film techniques and choice of cinematographer or composer, what have you.

Because it's October, I've picked two of my favorite 'neo-classic' horror movie stars, and two very intriguing horror movie directors. So don't forget to add what makes them so scary.

Run wild, shall we? Discuss!

Dario Argento: Horror-film director and cult favorite credited as influencing most latter-day "splatter" films. Argento incorporat[ed] the influence of Italian horror movie maestro Mario Bava into his already ornate visual style, which celebrated striking imagery and idiosyncratic use of color over plot and structure.
