One thing I will say, though, is that I really ADORE the titles of some of Fulci's films - 'Don't Torture A Duckling', 'Lizard In A Woman's Skin', 'Cat In The Brain', etc. There's something unique about them, and it only adds to the attraction. I'm not sure if they're the result of bad English translations (ala 'Engrish') or on purpose, but it's either genius or a happy accident.
I'm not sure where the ostentatious titles come from, but they're corkers for sure. Some other greats (not Fulci though):

Four Flies On Grey Velvet
Death Laid An Egg
Why Are Those Strange Drops Of Blood On Jennifer's Body?
The Forbidden Photos Of A Lady Above Suspicion
Short Night Of The Glass Dolls
Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key...

... amazing no?
