The Massacre Time cast features Franco Nero, George Hilton and Nino Castelnuovo. This info article contains minor spoilers and character details for Lucio Fulci’s 1966 movie on Arrow. Check out more streaming guides in Vague Visages’ Know the Cast section. 

Massacre Time stars Franco Nero as a gold prospector who squares off against his diabolical half-brother in Laramie Town, Wyoming. Legendary filmmaker Fernando Di Leo wrote the screenplay after working on A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and the film was directed by Lucio Fulci, who is best known for making Italian horror classics such as Zombie and City of the Living Dead. Nero headlines the main cast in Massacre Time; however, it’s Nino Castelnuovo who arguably steals the show as Junior Scott, a psychotic Wyoming resident with a resting sour face. Here’s every main player in the 1966 Spaghetti Western, now streaming on Arrow Player.
