Learn what one of the masters of horror has to say about the genre.
Dario Argento is responsible for an immense amount of nightmares. The Italian director has been scaring and scarring audiences for a generation. His influential work in the horror genre during the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in the subgenre known as giallo, earned him the nicknames “Master of the Thrill” and the “Master of Horror.”
Recently, he attended a retrospective of his films and gave an enlightening interview where he talked about his career and the responsibility of film and television to deeply affect you.
When it came to horror movies, Argento said, “I think people like horror films because it provokes such strong sensations that they do not understand. I have friendship and solidarity with these awful stories—[I receive] a feeling of great pleasure from these terrible ceremonies.”
