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.
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.
