Do you need "Frankenstein's Castle Of Freaks" in your collection? Now here's your chance

There's an auction for it on eBay UK, check it out here.

And yep, they still use Pound Sterling in the UK, that's not Yen or Pesetas. :-O

There's even three days to go.

Piranha from AWE

I just learnt via Skræk og rædsel that Another World Entertainment is putting out Joe Dante's PIRANHA from 1978. Great news!

However, WHY NOT RELEASE IT ON A DOUBLE BILL WITH JAMES CAMERON'S SUPER SPLATTERY GORE FEST "PIRANHA PART 2: THE SPAWNING"!!!???

Now THAT'S a double bill that could've rocketed AWE into the world of über cool celeb video companies, LOL.

Here's a couple of memorable scenes:





However, despair not; PIRANHA 2 is out on a good, cheap and letterboxed DVD from the UK (get it from Play.com for around £5). Skip the reg. 1 DVD as it's fullscreen.



This one below (from MIA) is also from the UK and has a way cooler cover but unfortunately it's fullscreen.

Diabolik #1

Heeey, I'll be getting this! Yay! Spiffy!!

American edition from Pacific Comics Club published in 1986

This is the Italian comic book series that Mario Bava's film DANGER: DIABOLIK from 1968 was based upon. It was created in 1962 by the two sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani. I don't remember this being published in Denmark (otherwise one of the leading countries in the 70s and 80s to publish comic books and albums [or 'graphic novels' as you modern kids call them now]). There's an okay Wiki page about the series here.
I'm not gonna keep announcing sporadic posts on my other Greek language blog but I thought I'd remind Danish readers that it's there and I just posted something. Check it out here.



Obviously the Flexfleece chick is just there to spice up an otherwise boring post. I don't suggest you buy anything from there.
