Argento & Fulci collab!


After witnessing the poor state of Lucio Fulci's health in 1994, Dario Argento decided to help Fulci by working with him to develop a new project. The two eventually agreed upon a remake of House of Wax. Pre-production lasted longer than expected as Argento had been working on his own film The Stendhal Syndrome. Fulci died in 1996, which led to Argento having special effects artist Sergio Stivaletti enter to direct the film.


This film escaped my knowledge as I focus on their directorial works and neither of the pair directed this film.

I've yet to watch it but will be checking it out very soon. Posting this for awareness. Two icons of Italian Horror collaborating, a shame Fulci passed away before filming began.
