Poll: Favourite of these Euro horror directors?

Again apologies, if your favourite isn't on here. There's so many more I could have included, but it only allows twelve choices.

Murder Obsession (Follia omicida, 1981)

"Why are you interested in the occult?"

"The only way to discover life's secret is through magic."

"I don't understand."

"Death. That exact moment when the body and soul separate, that which in theosophy is known as the astral body. We would have to capture that exact moment to analyse it, but to do this we would have to kill with our own hands, so that not even a wisp of life escapes us. Don't you agree?"

"And would you kill someone for this?"

"I think so."

"We went out in the evenings, while shooting "Nel segno di Roma": Anita Ekberg, Jacques Sernas, Riccardo Freda and me. One night when the four of us went to a restaurant, I found myself alone in front of Freda. He eagerly courted me, telling me how he had launched [the career of Giana Maria] Canale and that he had just added a dialogue scene specially written for me, in the film that we were shooting. I thanked him but I did not give in to his advances. When the shoot was over, he told me that he would have to cut my dialogue scene. I told him that if he did that, I would have to cut his balls." - Chelo Alonso on director Riccardo Freda
