See Lucio Fulci's "Zombi 2/Zombie", this is for beginning fans. if you love this excellent (yet somewhat campy) experience then take it up a notch and enter into the films that gave him the nickname "The Godfather of Gore".
- The Beyond
- City of the Living Dead
- House by the Cemetery
All three of these films borrow some influence from "Lovecraft" but the attention on atmosphere rather than a coherent plot is what makes his films famous.
SO BASICALLY START OFF With "Zombi 2". In my opinion, visit the movie on this website and talk with fans of the film, in a lot more depth about whether or not you want to continue trying to get the film. I know some people who chickened out after I told them about the infamous "eye scene".
Also, 'The Beyond' is out of print, so you may have to see the entire film on bootleg or somewhere else.

If you like murder mysteries, see Don't Torture a Duckling. Fulci himself has said that he considers that his best work and his personal favorite. Then focus on other mystery 'giallo's such as A Lizard In a Woman's Skin, and then with Seven Notes in Black (The Psychic). Watch 'One On Top of the Other' (Preversion Story) in intrested.
Then, if you like monster gore films with lots of blood, gore, and guts, see Zombie (Zombi 2) as a start, and then focus on The Beyond, as well as City of the Living Dead. You can also see House By the Cemetery. Others of intrest include The New York Ripper, Murderock, and possibly Mahattan Baby.
If you like crime stories, you can even see the violent Contraband (aka: The Naples Connection) for a start, or if you like westerns, see Massacre Time.
A good comedy would be 'The Senator Likes Women'. But most of his comedies are lost in the film vaults of Italy and haven't been imported at all from the country. -

argento, romero and carpenter are so different. If you want to see something that would relate to romero, see any of his films between the years 1979 and 1981. If you want to see something that would compare to argento you should see any of the films he made in the 70s (duckling/lizard/psychic). for carpenter Im not sure since carpenter did a lot of sci fi stuff and i associate him with that. fulci did do a sci fi movie called conquest but I haven't seen that one.

Conquest is fantasy. I thought it was mediocre but somewhat entertaining. He made a sci-fi movie called Rome, 2072 A.D. I haven't seen it but I read that it suffered too much from the low budget.
