The Red Headed Corpse La Rossa Dalla Pelle Che Scotta (1972)

PAURA explores the horror repertoire from the precious CAM Sugar archives taking us on a hypnotic journey into the labyrinths of fear, through the different variations that Italian horror took on from the esoteric and supernatural to the slasher films of the early 1970s; to reinterpretations of Romantic literature and gothic fiction to the splatter films of the ‘80s; and from witchcraft to metropolitan horror. This is not a real “best of” but an eclectic menu full of mysterious voices, childlike lullabies, sweet melodies, obsessive music boxes, obstinate harpsichords, crazy distortions and threatening synthesizers, conceived as a succession of sequences, as if a film edit. The new collection includes some of the most creative music ever written and strives to do justice not only to some of the best known composers in this genre, but also to many great unsung composers: From celebrated composers like Ennio Morricone, Riz Ortolani & Stelvio Cipriani to long-forgotten personalities who fed the industrial backbone of Italian cinema such as Daniele Patucchi, Marcelo Giombini & Berto Pisano. The collection includes 6 previously unreleased tracks plus 3 tracks released on vinyl for the first time and 5 tracks available commercially for the first time (originally released only as a limited promo item).

La nuova traduzione di Paolo Bertinetti si basa sulla versione del testo che Tennessee Williams scrisse per la messa in scena del 1974 e si discosta significativamente da quella originaria scritta per il primo allestimento del 1955. Il testo del 1955 aveva subito una revisione importante da parte del regista Elia Kazan. Quando sull'onda dell'enorme successo teatrale venne pubblicato, Williams volle presentare due versioni del terzo atto: una, chiamata Broadway Version, era quella andata in scena; l'altra, chiamata Cat Number One, cioè «la Gatta numero uno», era la versione originale prima degli interventi di Kazan. Poi nel 1958 arrivò la famosa trasposizione cinematografica con Paul Newman e Liz Taylor (che a Williams non piacque affatto), basata sulla Broadway Version ma ancora piú edulcorata, nascondendo l'omosessualità di Brick dietro ambigui accenni poco decifrabili…
