NOTE: “Giallo,” literally translated, means “yellow.” It refers to the yellow covers of the cheap paperback novels which inspired a popular and influential genre of Italian films in the 1960s and 1970s. Suspenseful, violent, erotic and shocking, giallo films combined the tension of American detective novels with the flamboyance of Italian opera and theatre. They also served as a predecessor to the slasher films of the 1980s, albeit with more artistic merit and higher production values. Dario Argento is considered the master of the giallo film and this story is intended as an homage to him. If you are easily disturbed, read no further.
