Fear-filled Phantasms: Emanuele Taglietti

This year's featured artist during the 31 Nights of Halloween is Italian painter and illustrator Emanuele Taglietti. He was most active as a commercial artist during the 1970s and 1980s, and he specialized in covers for horror comics that featured lots of sex and graphic violence.

We're starting on the mild end of Taglietti's range, but it will get more graphic as the monsters awaken from their slumber and Halloween draws near.
