Riz Ortolani (1926-2014)

http://dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/c...ani-passed-82/

Various Italian news sources are claiming that Riz Ortolani, musician and composer of the scores for a huge number of films, including eurotrash classics including CASTLE OF BLOOD, THE HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, DAY OF ANGER and MONDO CANE, has died at the age of 82.
Kudos to Tarantino & Refn for re-introducing his work to a new generation of moviegoers:

His score for Cannibal Holocaust is masterful.

He's done great work on a number of films, but he'll always be remembered for that Cannibal Holocaust main theme. It's a beautiful piece of music for such a depraved film.
