This article uses primary data of Italian horror films’ distribution patterns across streaming services and physical media, to assess the contemporary status of their post-cinematic curation in the English-speaking world. An ever-increasing number of such films are afforded HD restorations, collectors’ edition boxset packaging, and a presence on prestige streaming platforms. In this way, this once-reviled category is being further assimilated int…
Bastard Theatres and Human Dregs
This article uses newspaper and trade press archives to chart the evolution of the phrase ‘legitimate theatre’ in relation to theatres on New York’s 42nd Street that were built by 1920 and converted to moving pictures by the early 1940s. Various surrounding industrial and social tensions – the transition from live performance to movies, the derided status of exploitation and adult films, the perceived degradation of the area in the post-war era, …

Blood in the Streets
Blood in the Streets investigates the various ways in which 1970s Italian crime films were embedded in their immediate cultural and political contexts. The book analyses the emergence, proliferation and distribution of a range of popular film cycles (or filoni) - from conspiracy thrillers and vigilante films, to mafia and serial killer narratives - and examines what these reveal about their time and place. The engagement in these films with both …

Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western
Ever more popular in the age of DVDs, eBay and online fandom, the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s have undergone a mainstream renaissance which has nevertheless left their intimate relationship to the troubled politics of 1960s Italy unexamined. Radical Frontiers reappraises the genre in relation to the revolutionary New Left and the events of 1968 to uncover the complexities of a cinematic milieu too often dismissed as formulaic and homogeneous.…
Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western
Though 1960s European cinema frequently reflected the shifting ideological tides which now characterise the era in the popular imagination, the complex and extensive relationship of the Italian – or ‘Spaghetti’ – Western to these political ferments has gone almost entirely unnoticed. Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western fills this gap as the first in-depth analysis of militant political trends in the Italian Western. Providing a detailed, h…

The article also identifies the inadvertent subtexts within the film that bespeak the cultural confusions in 1960s Italian politics
