as Catherine (voice: Francesca Draghetti) Kateřina Brožová as Caroline (voice: Paola Valentini) Narrator as Gianni Giuliano Production and release Of all the films in the series, Fantaghirò 3 is the favourite one of both by the director Lamberto Bava and the writer Gianni Romoli, as the story gives more horror vibes. Tarabas' character was born from Romoli being a fan of the comic book series Dylan Dog, where a character of this name appears in one story. Fantaghirò 3 was filmed over six weeks of Summer 1993 in the former Czechoslovakia. In an unexcepted problem were torrential rains going on almost uninterruptedly for the entire time of the shooting. Some of the film's special effects were created using computer-generated imagery resources similar to these used for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Kim Rossi Stuart categorically refused to reprise his role as Romualdo, so his character's scenes in the third and the fourth films were created using old footage, except two short scenes in the third film on which he grudgingly agreed on. Nicholas Rogers in the role of Tarabas also caused problems, as he had declared during his audition that he was able to ride horses but as soon as the shooting began, he could not even mount a horse. It was then soon realized he was also not good at acting; Bava said that for the scene where Rogers has to say "I love you", they had to make three shots and then combine them later. He also injured himself on the set and had to be taken to hospital while still wearing his costume. The Black Witch was originally supposed to be killed off in the second film, but the highly positive feedback from the public convinced Bava to bring her back for more films. The scene of her head being reanimated, as she had been crumbled into many small stones, was created by simply sticking her head from a hole in a coffee table. The film premiered on Canale 5 during Christmas 1993. It was later dubbed into multiple languages for foreign television broadcasts and released on home video (VHS and DVD) in Italy and in several other countries. Fantaghirò 3 and both of its prequels were recut (reduced and intersected with each other) into a 200-minute compilation film titled La meravigliosa storia di Fantaghirò ("The Wonderful Story of Fantaghirò") in 1995.
