4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, we pay tribute to one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, the one and only Mario Bava! It’s time for….
I’ve always liked the trailer for Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond. It does a good job of capturing the dream-like amtosphere of Fulci’s classic film.
2. Raiders of Atlantis (1983)
Raiders of Atlantis is hardly my favorite Ruggero Deodato film but I do really like the trailer. Add to that, I think this might be the only Deodato trailer that’s actually safe for work. The trailer for Cannibal Holocaust features that body being found with the stake driven through it. The House on the Edge of the Park trailer features the scene with straight razor. Meanwhile, the trailer for Raiders of Atlantis has fun music and a laser-shooting statue! It also has Tony King shouting, “Come on, come on, come on!”
3. Zombie 5: Killing Birds (1987)
This movie sucks but, for some reason, I’ve always found the trailer to be very effective. I think it’s the scene with the woman smiling despite being pinned to the wall and apparently dead. That’s pure nightmare fuel.
4. Spasmo (1974)
This is from director Umberto Lenzi. I sometimes feel as if I’m the only person in the world who likes this film. As for the trailer, I just enjoy the anguished cries of “Spasmo! Spasmo!”
5. Lisa and the Devil (1973)
This is one of my favorite Mario Bava films. Yes, some of it is because the lead character is named Lisa. I’ll admit it, I like my name. However, it’s a really good film as well!
6. Tenebrae (1982)
And finally, here is the trailer for Dario Argento’s brilliant, Tenebrae!
Seriously, if you want to have a truly wonderful Halloween, watch some Italian horror! If you haven’t already discovered Bava, Fulci, Argento, Lenzi, Soavi, D’Amato, and all the rest, now is the perfect time to do so! Do it now before their work gets canceled by the online puritan mob.

104 years ago today, the most important Italian filmmaker of all time was born. Today is Mario Bava’s birthday! And, as we often do here at the Shattered Lens, it’s time to celebrate with…
I’ve enjoyed reviving this feature for October. I’m not totally sure if I’ll continue it because, as I said way back at the start of the month, there are only so many trailers on YouTube and I don’t want to spend too much time repeating myself. We’ll see!
These are trailers for 6 of my favorite horror films:
Lisa and the Devil (1973)
From the great director, Mario Bava. This film is like a cinematic dream. Plus, the main character is named Lisa!
