TV docu from early 80s on HC punk in L.A.

Ahh, the good ol'e days. Watch this a lean about a past not long ago and yet in a completely different society. Oh, and I was there man!

Oh ILSA!!!

The original 3 VHS releases of the ILSA films in Denmark!

ILSA, SHE WOLF OF THE SS


ILSA, HAREM KEEPER OF THE OIL SHEIKS


ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA


Notice when these films originally ran in the Danish cinemas and came out on VHS the title character was called "Ilse" because that's the correct Danish and German spelling. This "Ilsa" is an American respelling. Unfortunately, when the Danish video company put out these films on DVD a few years back they didn't bother to use the Danish title. Many Danes don't give two fucks for tradition. :/

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.

Renato Polselli's unreleased MANIA - the complete trailer

I posted the trailer for Renato Polselli's Italian horror movie MANIA from 1974 a little while ago but unfortunately it was a rather aborted version. Now, thanks to a private collector, here's the complete trailer finally. And in a really good condition too. It comes from a 35mm print.



Wayne on Cinehound informed me MANIA has NEVER been released anywhere on VHS or any other format, nor has it been shown anywhere on television. There exist no bootlegs either. And even when it came out it only had a very limited run in the Italian cinemas. When you watch the trailer it's hard to understand why it didn't cause more interest but maybe the stimmung back then just wasn't in favour of it. :(
It's a crime against all humanity that this film doesn't exist on DVD and I certainly hope we'll get to see it released soon.

Feels like a Sunday night fun on a Monday, eh? Part 2

Where do these people come from? :-O
