In the first of director Lucio Fulci’s “Gates of Hell” trilogy, a clergyman suicide rips open a gateway to Hell, welcoming the unholy walking dead into our plane of existence. As the dead rise, a reporter and a psychic scramble to a spooky New England town to close the gate and save the world.
Fabio Frizzi studied classical guitar with Maestro Sergio Notaro and piano and composition with Maestro Vittorio Taborra. In love with his profession and eclectic in nature, he has had a great deal of experience in many different areas of music. From 1974 to 1979, he was a member of the trio Bixio-Frizzi-Tempera, but the flagship of Fabio’s career is certainly his lengthy occupation in the field of move scoring, with over 70 films and many TV series, working with many popular directors (complete list here). He has written music for many different film genres but surely the aspect that has given him the most recognition and appreciation is his lengthy collaboration with director Lucio Fulci.
