City of the Living Dead (1980)

City of the Living Dead (aka The Gates of Hell) is a 1980 Italian horror film directed by horror master Lucio Fulci. Fulci has a cameo. It is the first installment of the "Gates of Hell" trilogy which also includes The Beyond and The House by the Cemetery.


Time Out calls it "the sort of disreputable movie the Surrealists would have loved".

  1. How was your 1960's movie day? I wonder why surrealists would have loved this film. Happy Wednesday.

    1. It was laundry day, so it was a good day to have movies I'd seen on in the background. Now that we don't have cable I can't use MSNBC for that lol

  5. I may have to watch this just so I can determine why surrealists would appreciate it.

  6. Great start (after the darn ad - you have that, too, now?!).
    It´s over an hour, no idea if we have the data range yet, sadly.
    Germany... behind a rock...
