Paolo Grillandi [1] (born c. 1490) was an Italian jurist, from Abruzzo, [2] active as a papal judge in witch trials, from 1517. [3] He was an influential observer of confessions.

Other related works are his De Questionibus et tortura tractatus, De relaxatione carceratorum, and the De Lamiis of Gianfrancesco Ponzinibio that was later printed with the Tractatus de hereticis et sortilegiis.

Romero to describe his film Dawn of the Dead, though Dawn of the Dead is generally considered by critics to have higher aspirations, such as social commentary, than to be simply exploitative for its own sake.
