Stelio Candelli, born in 1931 in Trieste, Italy, carved a niche in cult cinema with his roles in films like Planet of the Vampires (1965) and Demons (1985). After training at the Academy of Dramatic Arts from 1954 to 1957, he transitioned from Euro-westerns to horror and fantasy, embodying characters that resonate with genre enthusiasts. His work in Yeti: The Giant of the 20th Century (1977) and Mr. Mean (1977) further solidified his presence in the exploitation film landscape, making him a notable figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
Yeti: The Giant of the 20th Century
Professor Wassermann is asked by industry magnate Morgan Hunnicut to lead an expedition to study the giant Yeti creature found frozen in a large ice block on Newfoundland's coast. The professor does not know that Hunnicut intends to use the prehistoric creature as a trademark of its multinational industrial group. A very big mistake.
