💀🍝 Coconutdaddy’s Cult Corner: Touch of Death (1988) — Fulci’s Middle‑Aged Meltdown Horror‑Comedy You Never Knew Existed

This is one of those early‑’80s oddities that somehow manages to be a possession movie, a slasher, a giallo‑inspired fever dream, and a creature‑feature all at once — and that’s exactly why it rules. 🔥😄 Let’s start with the behind‑the‑scenes legend . Horror fans have whispered for years that the film’s financier was an alleged mob‑connected businessman who supposedly funneled money into the production after making a fortune through an alleged gas‑scam operation . Whether that’s true or just cult‑cinema mythology, it fits the vibe perfectly. Mausoleum feels like the kind of movie that could only exist because someone with “creative accounting” said, “Sure, let’s make a demon movie with glowing gree...
