Abstract

Starting with some reflections on the cultural significance of monstrosity and the uncanny, this essay sets out to explore some figures of monstrous childhood in postwar Italian horror cinema. The films mentioned will be Kill Baby...Kill! (Mario Bava, 1966), Toby Dammit (Federico Fellini, 1968) and Un gioco per Eveline (Marcello Avallone, 1971).
