## Resource

On this episode of the Dads From The Crypt Podcast , the dads travel to Italy to discuss Tenebrae (1982) , the ultra-stylish and controversial Giallo thriller from horror master Dario Argento . Joining the show is special guest Joe Gatto , who helps break down one of the director’s most brutal and visually striking films. Starring Anthony Franciosa , Daria Nicolodi , and John Saxon , Tenebrae follows a bestselling crime novelist whose visit to Rome sparks a series of grisly copycat murders inspired by his own book. The dads dive into Argento’s sharp direction, the film’s infamous kills, and its legendary camera work—including one of the most famous tracking shots in horror history. The episode also explores the pounding synth score composed by members of Goblin , the film’s themes of violence and media controversy, and where Tenebrae fits among Argento classics like Suspiria and Deep Red . If you love Italian horror movies , giallo thrillers , and classic 80s horror , this deep dive into Tenebrae is a must-listen. Follow Dads From the Crypt!
