JTB Claudio Fragasso - 29 Classic Movies (Comedy/Drama/Crime/Sci-Fi/Thriller/Horror)

by johntbakken • Created 7 years ago • Modified 6 years ago
Claudio Fragasso was born 2 October 1951 and is an Italian screenwriter and film director of mostly low-budget exploitation films. He frequently co-wrote his scripts with his wife Rosella Drudi, and is mostly famous for his many collaborations with notorious Italian horror film director Bruno Mattei.

In 1984, Fragasso directed his debut feature, Monster Dog, starring Alice Cooper as a rock-star werewolf.

In 2007, Michael Stephenson who, as a child, played Joshua Waites in Fragasso's cult horror film Troll 2, along with George Hardy who played Joshua's father Michael, flew to Rome to inform Fragasso about the large number of Troll 2 fans in America, and of the many people who show up at the Troll 2 screenings. Claudio and his wife Rossella Drudi who wrote the film flew to America, and have attended a few Troll 2 screenings. Claudio also took part in a documentary titled Best Worst Movie which was directed by Michael Stephenson. In addition, he and his wife toured the original locations of Troll 2 in Utah, with their fans.
