In spite of his moments of ground-breaking originality, however, Lenzi wasn't above "cloning" popular hit movies such as "Conan The Barbarian" (with his 1982 "Ironmaster") and "Dawn of the Dead" (with his 1980 "Nightmare City").

The Italian "La Casa" horror film series

Umberto Lanzi directed "Ghosthouse" in 1988, but many of his fans do not know why it was released as "La Casa 3" in Italy. The American films "Evil Dead" and "Evil Dead 2" were released in Italy as "La Casa" and "La Casa 2" respectively. Lenzi's film "Ghosthouse" was designed as a sort of sequel to these two high-grossing fan favorites, and thus was released in theatres there as "La Casa 3". The same year, Fabrizio Laurenti directed "Witchery" (starring Linda Blair) which was released in Italy as "La Casa 4" and was followed several years later by Claudio Fragasso's "La Casa 5: Beyond the Darkness" (which is a very hard film to locate).
