It's time for another Cult Labs Competition over in the Comp Corner! So, without further ado here's all those lovely details....

SHAM038: THE HOUSE WITH THE LAUGHING WINDOWS

La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono

“..today I painted that shameless bitch as she snuffed it..”

Often mentioned yet rarely seen, director Pupi Avati’s legendary cult horror masterpiece finally gets the release it deserves: restored and remastered under the director’s supervision, it is presented with new audio, new improved subtitles plus a new exclusive interview with Avati - making this the definitive release of this intelligent shocker.

Stefano, a young artist, arrives in a tranquil Italian village to restore the local church's fresco of the St. Sebastian martyr - depicting the saint’s bloody body slashed by arrows - painted some years earlier by a deranged local artist who, the villagers hint, created snuff paintings by torturing his models who were in the throes of dying when he painted them!

Gradually Stefano discovers the rumours about the painter might be true, as the village's gruesome and taboo secret unravels into a seething web of madness, gory deaths and unspeakable horror culminating in a final diabolical twist and jaw-dropping conclusion.

Special Features:

New visuals & New audio (Original Mono & Dolby 5.1.)
Restored under the supervision of the director
New improved sub-titles
New exclusive Pupi Avati interview
Theatrical Trailer  Shameless Trailer Park

--------------------------

We've got three copies of the new Shameless release, The House With Laughing Windows up for grabs and it's super easy to win!

Giallo cinema is known for some of the greatest film titles and this is just one of them. So, simpy come up with your own title for a fictional giallo film. The three best titles will be chosen next week to win this great DVD.

It's that simple.

Bonus points for any posters,etc created!

Good luck,

Kyle

This is the most ridiculous idea for a gialli i could think of.

Short synopsis.

A serial killer in Rome mocks the local police by playing online poker with them, using the lives of kidnapped women as the stake.

Yes i know looking at computer screens in films is less than exciting, watching folks play poker probably rivals it in the tedium stakes though.

I would call my film the most boring thing possible. How about?

The Card Player

Finally we could give it cover art that misrepresents the film entirely and encase it in a nice Arrow package.
