Don't Torture A Duckling (1972)

Hang out by the highway and get ready to stop & bang, because we’re closing out Giallo January talking about Lucio Fulci’s rural horror masterpiece with special guest Michael Varrati.

From Barbara Bouchet’s inadvisable flirtations to the concept of a “murder twink”, tangents about M. Night Shyamalan, and the role of religion in small towns, we went long on this one!

 

*A few spoilers for some other gialli, namely Cat O’ Nine Tails, Deep Red, & Phenomena*
