Production

In the late 1980s Italian film productions began to flounder, so director Lamberto Bava decided to make a jump to television. He struck a deal with executive producers Gianfranco Transunto and Gianlorenzo Battaglia for the company Reitalia to make a cable television series that would consist of five full-length films. [5] [1] The plan was to have each film have a different tone. [5] Reiteitalia announce the Brivido Giallo series in July 1986 as a series of five made-for-television films. [1] Of these films only four would be made: Graveyard Disturbance , Until Death , The Ogre and Dinner with a Vampire . [5] [1] The films were shot between 1987 and 1988. [1]

Release

Some films in the series were shown prior to their scheduled television release in Italy. These include Graveyard Disturbance being screened at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain in October 1987, Until Death being released on home video in Germany in November 1988, and Dinner with a Vampire being released in Japan on April 22, 1989. [6] [1] [7]

The films were released on Italia 1 on the following dates:

Cauldron Films released all four films on a blu-ray box set titled Brivido Giallo in 2025. [8]
