John Carpenter on His Decade Away from Filmmaking, the Problem With Today's Horror, and The Ward | Movieline

John Carpenter on His Decade Away from Filmmaking, the Problem With Today's Horror, and The Ward | Movieline: "At times it was reminiscent of a giallo score, even.
Like Claudio Simonetti, who I just met! And I met the beautiful Asia [Argento]. Asia comes in with that Eli Roth. I don’t know about that guy. The guy’s got all this Hollywood hair, slicked back. Just grinning. Beautiful girl on his arm. [Laughs] She’s very sweet. Her dad is a close friend of mine.

Are you pretty close knit, all of you Masters of Horror?
Some of us are very close. Some of us are real fast friends. Dario [Argento] is probably my best friend. But he and I go back a ways. George Romero is a very close friends. Tobe Hooper I’ve known for years. We just sit and insult each other, tell jokes about each other."

Exclusive: On the Set of Dario Argento's Dracula 3D - ShockTillYouDrop.com: "I'll also be talking to director of photography Luciano Tovoli about his third film with Dario after the classics Suspiria and Tenebrae.

I'm looking at the mausoleum set where the finale of Dracula 3D is about to take lace before my eyes. Because the camera takes so long to be set up by Dario's 6-man 3D team, I've already spoken to him at length about his ideas for his twist on the vampire classic. Very exciting. And quite different from anything I was expecting. The sets and locations are amazing - from Castle Dracula to Jonathan Harker's guesthouse in Ricetto Di Candelo. Asia back on set on Friday but I'm thrilled I timed my stay to coincide with the climax."

Asia Argento in blue strapless bikini | US.HADNEWS.COM: "I think there’s something inherently sexy about those wings poking out of Asia Argento’s bikini shorts. In any events, love tattoos or hate them, it’s hard to find anything else to argue about on Asia’s toned and firm body."

Roderick Usher (Harvey Keitel), fotografo di cronaca nera, �morbosamente attratto da immagini di violenza e morte. E' sempre presente sui luoghi di brutali delitti, documentando con dovizia di particolare dettagli di corpi amputati (una vittima segata in due da un enorme pendolo), o di cadaveri in avanzato stato di decomposizione (uno psicopatico ha riesumato la cugina per estrarle tutti i denti)…"

Death Scenes We Love: Dario Argento's 'Pelts' - Horror Squad: "It's an anti-fur piece, first and foremost, but Argento never lets the message get in the way of gruesome death. As each person comes into contact with the furs, they're driven to kill themselves in ironic and disturbing fashion."

Dario Argento By James Gracey | Toxic Graveyard

Dario Argento By James Gracey | Toxic Graveyard: "I love Dario Argento. My first exposure to his work was by chance. It was late at night on IFC and I happened upon a bizarre film with striking colors set in a girls school. It was so unique with incredible camera work and beautiful and brutal murders. The film of course was Suspiria and that began my interest in Argento and in the whole Italian film canon as well as 70’s exploitation films in general."
