Mondo Macabro: Weird & Wonderful Cinema Around the World is a book by British author Pete Tombs, first published in the United Kingdom in 1997 by Titan Books. A follow-up to the 1994 book Immoral Tales: Sex and Horror Cinema in Europe 1956–1984 (which Tombs co-wrote with Cathal Tohill), Mondo Macabro explores cult films and "bizarre cinema from around the world".
Mondo Macabro was published in the United States in 1998 by St. Martin's Griffin. The book served as an inspiration for the 2001 Channel 4 TV programme of the same name, which Tombs wrote, produced and directed alongside Andy Starke;[1] it also led to the establishment of Mondo Macabro, a home video label created by the duo.[2]
