Interviews
Paolo Pecora Meets Gordon Mitchell
A collection of videos produced by Paolo Pecora celebrating the career of Gordon Mitchell, with the odd bit of promotion thrown in for good measure. From what I can gather these were originally broadcast on TV Calabria, a private channel only available in the Calabria region of Italy some time in the 1980s. Watching host … Continue reading Paolo Pecora Meets Gordon Mitchell
Gianni Manera Interview w/Enrico Rovegno
An interview with the late, great, Gianni Manera on Peruvian television, recorded in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Just like his wildly bizarre movies, Gianni was one larger than life character whose passion for film making is hard to ignore when you hear the man speak. From what I can gather from this interview, … Continue reading Gianni Manera Interview w/Enrico Rovegno
Renato Polselli Interview (Pete Tombs)
Interview conducted by journalist and co-founder of Mondo Macabro some time in the late 1990s. Extracts, without subtitles, are available on YouTube - the complete, subtitled, interview was included as an extra on a fan produced composite of 'La Verita Secondo Satana' created by DarioArgento/LiquidGoblin in a galaxy far, far, away.
12 Rounds with Enzo G. Castellari (2004)

Castellari (2004)

Searching for Gianni…
The following interview was conducted via email in April 2013 just a few months before Gianni Manera sadly passed away. The original Italian text is included below the English translation.

A Ringside Seat: In Memory of Marino Girolami (2018)
19.09.2018 – Soriano nel Cimino, Italy It took almost a year to get it organised but we got there in the end... When I originally contacted Enzo, from the start I stressed the point that there's hardly any information available online about his father, Marino Girolami, and even less about his actor brother, Enio Girolami. … Continue reading A Ringside Seat: In Memory of Marino Girolami (2018)
