FH Mini 127 – Always Room for Giallo, with Alejandro Arbona

3rd May 2025

We’re joined by Alejandro Arbona, a 20-year comic book veteran, to discuss everyone’s favorite Italian thriller genre — GIALLO

Episode notes

We’re joined by longtime friend of the show (but first time on mic!) Alejandro Arbona, a 20-year veteran of comics editing and a comics writer himself, to discuss everyone’s favorite extravagantly-perverse Italian thriller genre — GIALLO. We discuss what defines a giallo and differentiates it from other sub-genres (and the slasher films it helped inspire), and then Alejandro runs us through a little giallo title quiz. It’s so jam-packed with info we didn’t have room for Elliott (jk, he had scheduling issues, that li’l scamp will be back next time!).

If you’d like to support Alejandro’s Kickstarter for Lake Yellowwood Slaughter, here’s a link to the pre-launch signup, ya dirty slasher freaks!
