Biography
Giovanni Lombardo Radice is one of the key faces of Italian horror cinema, as well as an actor and theater director. During his career he has starred in films such as “Apocalypse Tomorrow”, “The Lost House in the Park”, “Fear in the City of the Living Dead” and “Cannibal Ferox”. Not forgetting the interpretations in Author’s film such as Nichetti’s Honolulu Baby, Faenza’s Take My Soul, Scorsese’s Gangs of New York. He said in 2016 in an interview with Repubblica about the success of the horror genre:
With the exception of a small percentage of maniacs, what Bettelheim writes in The Enchanted World can be applied to the bulk of the public: there are archetypes, conflicts, overcoming obstacles. Maybe in a bit coarse form. And visual, not oral as in fairy tales. But at conventions, I’ve met a lot of fans who are ordinary people. In Manchester, a lovely old lady told me I’d make a great Dracula. You are right.
Man was it too theater performer and director: for some time he directed the theater The Comet of Rome, he has also been the protagonist of musicals, comedies, screenplays (his is the cult series of Rai “I Ragazzi del muretto” and for Mediaset “Sei forte maestro” with Emilio Solfrizzi).

“A life as a zombie” traces, by the hand of Giovanni Lombardo Radice himself, aka John Morghen, the life of a young man who, going against the trend of the expectations of the family that gave birth to important men of culture, decides to undertake the show business career. These pages are like an intimate diary, they tell, together with the well-known episodes, many unpublished and sometimes scabrous events, as in a confession of the author with himself, and report numerous anecdotes that happened on the set, daring techniques to create the most spectacular scenes.
