When it comes to cult Italian horror films, a few notorious names instantly spring to mind. From Lucio Fulci to Ruggero Deodato, Dario Argento and Mario Bava; there’s no doubt that these directors are some of the best names in cult Italian cinema. But with Shameless Screen Entertainment’s upcoming release of one of the greatest and most atmospheric gialli, The House With Laughing Windows, what better time than now, to look at the man responsible for this eerie thriller; Pupi Avati. Having directed...

It's been ages since I've done a blog, so hopefully you'll enjoy this.

Ext. Whitechapel. Night - 1888.

Dense fog covers the full moon as 1 walks along the deserted cobbled path. He wears a black top hat and a black cloak concealing his suit. In his gloved hand is a long metal silver cane which...

Hey there! I haven't done one of these in aggges - but, having spoken to Sam, thought this would be a nice blog.

Basically, at uni, I've just started the Screenwriting module and our first task was to create an opening scene from the below dialogue. We couldn't change the words, the order of the words, the characters or anything else like that. This is the original script:

1. Oh.
2. Yes.
1. Why are you doing this?
2. It's for the best.

Quite simply, as we're giving away 3 Anchor Bay DVDs - known for their horror releases, all the videos are are 5 trailers to well known films with the picture removed (and replaced with...

Well, I thought I’d jump on the Shameless bandwagon and start posting the odd review in the blogs too! Plus I do have a tendency to write quite long and ramble on a bit (!) so a blog actually seems more appropriate than a thread. So here we go... enjoy!
