**Fantaterror** is the name given to fantasy and/or horror films produced in Spain, especially in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] As with the names [peplum](/source/Sword-and-sandal) or [film noir](/source/Film_noir), the term has spread beyond With a limited range of style and works, the term Fantaterror[2] is used to define the entirety of Spanish fantasy/horror cinema regardless of type and period of production.[3]

Considered a genuine Spanish cinematographic tradition and identity[4] it did not obtain, in general, a positive reception from contemporary critics.[5] However, several of its directors such as [Jesús Franco](/source/Jes%C3%BAs_Franco), Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, [Paul Naschy](/source/Paul_Naschy), Antonio Gracia José (Pierrot), León Klimovsky and [Amando de Ossorio](/source/Amando_de_Ossorio) achieved national and international commercial success[6] and some of the titles are considered cult films.[7]
