Fantaterror
Fantaterror is the name given to fantasy and/or horror films produced in Spain, especially in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] As with the names peplum or film noir, the term has spread beyond With a limited range of style and works, the term Fantaterror[2] is used to define the entirety of Spanish fantasy/horror cinema regardless of type and period of production.[3]
Considered a genuine Spanish cinematographic tradition and identity[4] it did not obtain, in general, a positive reception from contemporary critics.[5] However, several of its directors such as Jesús Franco, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, Paul Naschy, Antonio Gracia José (Pierrot), León Klimovsky and Amando de Ossorio achieved national and international commercial success[6] and some of the titles are considered cult films.[7]
