  • DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING (1972) ft. Chrishaun Baker // Giallo July

    Week 2 of Giallo July has us back in folk horror territory as we discuss Don't Torture a Duckling directed by Lucio Fulci. Joining us is long-time listener Chrishaun Baker to tackle themes of small-town ostracization, darkness within the Catholic church, and the corruption of young children. This film has only one scene of titties and it's not as sexy as most giallo!
