Claudio Fragasso
October 2, 1951 (75 years old) in Rome, Lazio, Italy
Claudio Fragasso (born 2 October 1951) is a film director and screenwriter. Fragasso first attempted to make art films in the early 1970s, then became a screenwriter in the Italian film industry in the mid-1970s. Fragasso met director Bruno Mattei, which led to a ten-year partnership from 1980 to 1990 during which the two worked together closely on films, with Fragasso's contributions often going uncredited. He later went on to write and direct his own films in the 1980s, including Monster Dog with rock musician Alice Cooper and After Death, before directing Troll 2 in 1989, which was later the topic of Best Worst Movie, a documentary film that discussed Troll 2's fandom.
