Danza macabra (1964)

“It is interesting to note that the best periods of Italian Horror films came out of the Sixties, when Italy was enjoying a carnival period of phenomenal optimism, and the shadowy side surfaced with all of its attendant dark, beautiful, baroque, catholic symbolism.” — Barbara Steele

DJANGO / VIVA DJANGO (1966-1968) - SPAGHETTI & OTHER RECIPES' WESTERNS (Part 1/10)

The Spaghetti Western genre is a massive genre with no less than 600 movies produced between 1963 and 1979

The genre is mainly know for The Man With No Name trilogy by Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood which was a massive worldwide success from 1964 with its first episode A Fistful Of Dollars.

Its success made the Spanish movie critic Alfonso Sanchez coin the term Spaghetti Western. A term resented by Italians

The proper word should be Euro Western since most of those movies while indeed directed by Italian Maestri were co-funded by France, Spain and Germany in the early years.

Filmed in Rome's Cinecitta studios as well as in the arid decors of Spain and Northern Mexico, the genre is also know in Japan as Macaroni Western!

The Spanish westerns are called Paella Westerns and the Mexican ones are either Zapata Westerns or taco Westerns or chili Westerns

This 10 Part Blog will succinctly present many of these movies with posters from all around the world starting with maybe one of the most famous of them all..and the most violent, ie. Django starring Franco Nero and its lesser sequel Viva Django (Django preparati la barra) in 1968 staring Terence Hill.

Above are posters from France, Italy and Japan (click on each image for details).

Director: Sergio Corbucci, Ferdinando Baldi Actors: Franco Nero, Terence Hill
