Joe Dante, trained in the workshop of the legendary Roger Corman, is among the most significant Hollywood directors of the fantastic of the 1980s. A passionate explorer of cinema, star of major commercial successes and adept at sewing together low-budget films. A humane and witty artist, in fantasies as in morals, capable at once of ferocity, tenderness and moral satire. A craftsman who skillfully masks a high culture under the patterns of popular genres and B-movie effects in a clever homage to the wonders of a lost cinema.

Joe Dante – Master of Horror is an essay edited by Luigi Boccia, written by Mario Rumor, Joe Godoy Gonzalez, Emanuele Crivello, Giuseppe Carradori, Lorenzo Ricciardi and Anna Silvia Armenise.
The cover is by Giorgio Finamore.
