film horror--his unique, highly stylized works have explored both the
supernatural and the non-supernatural sides of the genre with equal
effectiveness. His first three directorial efforts earned him the nickname
of "The Italian Hitchcock"--the "giallo" (the Italian word for "yellow," in
reference to the jackets of many a lurid crime novel) thrillers <I>The Bird
With the Crystal Plumage</I> (1970), <I>The Cat O'Nine Tails</I> (1971) and <I>Four
Flies on Grey Velvet</I> (1972) (known collectively as the Animal Trilogy)
featured innovative camerawork, eccentric human behavior, nerve-jangling
scores by Ennio Morricone, and just enough outlandishness to keep the viewer
off balance without throwing him completely out of the realm of reality.
