Blood of the Zombies: Interview with FX Master Rosario Prestopino (2016)

**** (out of 4)

The late Rosario Prestopino is the focus on this twenty-three minute interview that has him mainly talking about his work on ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST but he also branches off for a discussion on Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE as well as the Italian horror industry. If you're a fan of his work or just the gore films from Italy then you're going to love this interview as he does a great job at giving you an idea of what it was like to work on one of these movies. He goes into great detail about what it was like on the set and he shares a story or two about the cast and director of ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST. From here he also tells some great stories about how Italian horror movies were sold and why everything went to flames. There's also some great moments where Prestopino watches the gore scenes from ZOMBIE HOLOCAUTS and explains how they were done. This here is certainly one of the best of its type.

Italian make-up f/x maestro Rosario Prestopino happily discusses his work on both Lucio Fulci's "Zombie" and the notorious splatter schlockfest "Zombie Holocaust" in this nifty 24-minute interview featurette. Prestopino reveals that he had just began his career when he did "Zombie" and that he was responsible for the make-up continuity on "Zombie Holocaust." He remembers director Marino Girolami as a fast and dynamic filmmaker who drew storyboards for particular scenes involving elaborate make-up f/x. Prestopino points out that star Ian McCulloch was always making suggestions while Alexandra Delli Colli was nervous about the scene in which her nude body gets painted with flowers. Moreover, Prestopino not only talks about how specific gore gags were done, but also talks about how the various gory horror films he worked on were sold and promoted by distributors. A solid little item.
