R.I.P. Giovanni Lombardo Radice (23 September 1954 – 27 April 2023)

… was an Italian film actor, also known as John Morghen.

Lombardo Radice began his career in theater before he starred in Ruggero Deodato's The House on the Edge of the Park (1980). Throughout the 1980s, Radice appeared in many Italian cult films such as Cannibal Apocalypse (1980), City of the Living Dead (1980), Stage Fright (1987) and The Church (1989). Radice is best known for his villainous roles in Italian horror films, and notably for the spectacular and gruesome death scenes his characters semi-regularly fall victim to.

In several interviews, he reportedly stated that he wished he had never portrayed Mike Logan in Cannibal Ferox, criticizing the movie for being both fascist and racist and abusive towards animals. Radice created his stage name, John Morghen, by taking the anglicized form of his first name (Giovanni becomes John) and using his grandmother's maiden name as his last name (Morghen). His family practically disowned him when they discovered he was using his family name to create incredibly violent films.

Lombardo Radice's uncle is Pietro Ingrao, the first member of the Italian Communist Party to be Head of Parliament in the 1970s. His father was the mathematician Lucio Lombardo Radice. The writer Marco Lombardo Radice was his elder brother.

Radice often posted texts criticizing social injustice, capitalism and corruption in Italy.

Lombardo Radice wrote about having a cocaine addiction when younger.

Lombardo Radice died on 27 April 2023, at the age of 68,the same day as his Cannibal Apocalypse co-star Ramiro Oliveros.

CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE (APOCALYPSE DOMANI, 1980) – Episode 216 – Decades Of Horror 1980s

“It says here the body showed signs of cannibalism. … That’s what it says, Chief!” Exactly what are “signs of cannibalism,” Chief? Join your faithful Grue-Crew – Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr – as they investigate the “signs” in Antonio Margheriti’s Cannibal Apocalypse (1980), starring John Saxon.

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 216 – Cannibal Apocalypse (1980)

Mentally unstable Vietnam vets who were held captive by the Vietcong come back to America after being rescued carrying a dangerous virus that turns people into cannibals when bitten.

IMDb

Director: Antonio Margheriti (as Anthony M. Dawson)

Writers: Antonio Margheriti (screenplay) (as Anthony M. Dawson), Dardano Sacchetti (screenplay & story) (as Jimmy Gould)

Music: Alexander Blonksteiner

Special Effects

Giannetto De Rossi (special effects)

Bob Shelley (special effects coordinator)

Selected Cast:

John Saxon as Norman Hopper

Elizabeth Turner as Jane Hopper

Giovanni Lombardo Radice as Charlie Bukowski (billed as John Morghen)

Cinzia De Carolis as Mary (billed as Cindy Hamilton)

Tony King as Tommy Thompson

Wallace Wilkinson as Captain McCoy

Ramiro Oliveros as Dr. Phil Mendez (billed as Ray Williams)

May Heatherly as Nurse Helen

Renzo Marignano as Dr. Morris

Venantino Venantini as Lt. Hill

Jere Beery as Biker Leader

Luca Venantini as Bobby

Joan Riordan as Tina

Don Ruffin as Carlos

Goffredo Unger as Mall Guard

Did you ever have one of those movies that you didn’t think you’d seen, but when you finally watched it, it turned out you already had? That’s the case for Chad and his pick for this episode, Cannibal Apocalypse, also known as Cannibals in the Streets, Cannibal Massacre, Cannibals in the City, Invasion of the Fleshhunters, Savage Apocalypse, Savage Slaughterers, The Slaughterers, Apocalypse domani, and Asphalt-Kannibalen. With all those alternate titles, it’s easy to see how he might have been confused.

This time around, Chad points out that this allegory for Viet Nam veterans returning home has no one to root for. He’s a John Saxon fan and thinks he is the best thing about the movie, but he is perplexed by the film and the fact that it even exists.

Crystal loves John Saxon as well, especially his confused and shocked look when he sees his troops in the pit eating human flesh. The film is trying to be serious with a metaphor depicting PTSD as some type of contagious cannibalism but in the end, it doesn’t really know what it wants to be. And beware! There are triggers aplenty.

Bill generally appreciates director Margheriti’s work and can see why Quentin Tarantino likes him, but Cannibal Apocalypse feels to him like Margheriti wanted to make a Viet Nam movie but could only get money for a horror film and it turns out to be a bit of a mess. He does like the idea of war as a virus that comes home. Just because you’re no longer on the battlefield doesn’t mean you can escape it.

Margheriti’s The Long Hair of Death (1965) was covered in Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 110 but Jeff sees few similarities between that and Cannibal Apocalypse. He loves Giannetto De Rossi’s special effects and of course, John Saxon’s performance, but also gives a trigger warning for several scenes.

At the time of this writing, Cannibal Apocalypse is available to stream from Tubi and on physical media as a Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Jeff, will be Lady in White (1988), a serial killer/ghost story starring Lukas Haas.

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: leave them a message or leave a comment on the gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the website or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected]

Cannibal Ferox – Italy, 1981

‘Bizarre human sacrifices! The most violent film ever!’

Cannibal Ferox is a 1981 Italian exploitation horror feature film written and directed by Umberto Lenzi. It can be considered one of the ‘unholy trinity’ of superior Italian cannibal films, alongside Last Cannibal World and Cannibal Holocaust. In the US, it was retitled Make Them Die Slowly.

Vietnam vets and cannibals: CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE (Antonio Margheriti, 1980)

This is one of those horror flicks that’s a bit hard to categorise. It’s an Italian “cannibal boom” film in the tradition of Ruggero Deodato’s classic Cannibal Holocaust which came out the same year, as well as earlier efforts such as Deodato’s Last Cannibal World, Joe D’Amato’s Black Emanuelle films, and the one that started the Italian cannibal boom, Umberto Lenzi’s The Man from Deep River. But…

A voyage to the moon of 1776

Filippo Morghen styled himself "Engraver to the King of the Two Sicilies"; in 1776, the Neapolitan artist broke from his naturalistic subjects to produce a book of ten fanciful engravings about a voyage to the Moon.

https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/filippo-morghen-fantastical-visions-of-lunar-life

"The Suite of the Most Notable Things Seen by Cavaliere Wild Scull, and by Signore de la Hire on Their Famous Voyage from the Earth to the Moon," featured today on the Public Domain Review, went through three editions, and it's not hard to see why.

The engravings show a lunar civilization mixing "technological innovation, colonial imagination, and a sense of rococo excess," part of a genre of Moon voyage fiction including Francis Godwin's "Man in the Moone" (1638) and John Wilkins' "Discovery of the World in the Moon."

These works and others are all available in gorgeous, hi-rez scans. "Notable Things" is in the Yale collection:

https://artgallery.yale.edu/collection/search/Filippo+Morghen

"Moone," at Harvard:

https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/ids:28468871

and "Discovery" at the Internet Archive:

Looking at craters on the moon isn’t my idea of a good time but looking at the work it inspires is another story; Caspar David Friedrich’s “Two Men Contemplating the Moon” (Slide 3) oil on canvas (1825-30) is worth the price of MET admission alone. - “Apollo’s Muse: The Moon in the Age of Photography” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through September / Slide 1: Robert Rauschenberg’s “Untitled” (1969) Solvent transfer with watercolor, gouache, pencil and colored pencil on paperboard / Slide 2: Filippo Morghen’s “Pumpkins Used as Dwellings to Secure Against Wild Beasts, from the Collection of the Most Notable Things Seen by John Wilkins, Erudite English Bishop...” (1766-67) Etching and aquatint / Slide 5: Neil Armstrong “NASA Apollo 11 “Buzz Aldrin Walking on the Surface of the Moon Near a Leg of a Lunar Module” Transfer Print / Slide 6: Robert Rauschenberg’s “Sky Garden (Stoned Moon), (1969) Lithograph and screen print /Slide 7: Neil Gordon’s “Rocket” Dress 1968 Screenprinted tissue, wood pulp and rayon mesh. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - / - - - #vernavalencia #dopeasfuck #art #surfaceofthemoon #rocket #landscapepainting #metropolitanmuseumofart #romance #metropolitanmuseumofart #artists #apparel #whatshotrightnow #artfido #dope #color #artcurator #robertrauschenberg #oilpainting #artcollector #exhibit #germanartist #designer #caspardavidfriedrich #fashion #wigs #moon (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KAG_mHYed/?igshid=igkgkiy8jrwx
