Biography
Ernesto Gastaldi was born on 10 September 1934 in Graglia in the province of Province of Biella, Piedmont.[2] Gastaldi left his job as a clerk at the Sella bank in Biella to move to Rome where he was admitted into Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia.[2] After graduating, Gastaldi had trouble finding work.[3] In 1957, Gastaldi wrote his first science fiction novel which the publishers requested an English-language name for the cover.[4][5] Gastaldi was sharing an apartment at the time with an Anglo-Italian man named Julian Birri, whom he adapted his name to for his alias, Julian Berry.[5] Gastaldi would write more crime and science fiction novels during this period such as Sangue intasca (1957) as James Duffy, Brivido sulla schiena (1957) as Freddy Foster and Tempo zero (1960) as Berry.[6]
Gastaldi's debut as a screenwriter and assistant director was with the film The Vampire and the Ballerina by Renato Polselli.[7] Gastaldi reflected on writing the film by stating that his working hours were from 8 in the morning until midnight, stating that "if someone had told me I was making a Gothic film I would have laughed."[7] Other works in gothic horror included Gastaldi writing for Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock and The Whip and the Body.[8] Following his gothic works, was his work in giallo film, where Gastaldi directed films such as Libido, which was released in 1965.[9][10]
