But are the things that have been underlined important and interesting?

Not really, seems random to me, either way it's going when I find a rubber

No problem! :thumb:

Where is the Senor Lobo book available from and is it in english?

Text is in English and German, and you can order it here

Thanks Wes. :)

Started reading Thomas Weisser's Asian Cult Cinema book again... ;)
The book has been criticized by fans because of Weisser's "strange reviews" of non-exploitation titles and the fact that he gets the synopsis of many films wrong (did he watch the films?)...but I still find it interesting for all the obscure titles mentioned in the book.

When are you writing yours B? ;)

That reminds me of an entry in Michael Weldon's Psychotronic Video Guide - reviewing Aguirre Wrath of God, Weldon writes: Klaus Kinski plays Aguirre and doesn't appear until the end of the film" - a strange observation considering Kinski is in almost every scene of that film :crazy:

I trust your copy came with one of the aforementioned publicity material envelopes? Mine's number 101 of 200 and i've yet to open it.

My MGSL volume is currently in with the rest of my 'to read' purchases and this pile is going back a few months!

The third GS isn't published yet and has been in the pipeline for quite some time but it's still displayed on MM's website.

Money well spent imo and if you collect Creepy Images you'll know what to expect.;)

Is it any good, mine hasn't arrived yet?

Seems ok for the money,Ive only dipped in,A to Z seems to cover more than slasher films,zombies,hammer movies abit of everything really not exactly indepth but ok.

Fair do's, not bad for a cheap buy then

Yeah,just noticed on some reviews it gives the budget and cinema receipts which is quite interesting

Cool, hopefully mine will arrive tomorrow then

This just arrived with a ****ing great big sticker on the front that's gonna take ages to get off, stupid bastards!

Maybe try a hairdryer first and then start peeling?

I've peeled it off, just trying to get rid of the glue now, bit of warm water and a careful hand usually does the trick. Ironically it was a sticker from Play.com with the returns address on, something I would need if it ended up ripped!

The Slasher Book seems ok to me. The kind of book that can go and hang out next to my second favourite seat in the house. :lol:

Deleted post !

Recently picked this up for a mate and had a quick peek/read.

I'd say it's certainly very interesting if you're just getting into one (or more) of the mentioned film genres:

"Appraising over 400 movies, Cinema Italiano unearths the best of Italian cinema. Dario Argento's 'gialli' thrillers and Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns are explored alongside the best films of Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Michelangelo Antonioni. Chapters discuss the rise and fall of genres such as mythological epics, gothic horrors, science-fiction, spy films, WWII movies, costume adventures, zombie films, swashbucklers, political cinema, spaghetti westerns and 'poliziotteschi' crime films. The book also traces the directorial careers and key films of such luminaries as Mario Bava, Sergio Corbucci, Francesco Rosi, Lucio Fulci, Duccio Tessari, Enzo G. Castellari, Bernardo Bertolucci and Gillo Pontecorvo."

"Films include: La dolce vita, Hercules Conquers Atlantis, The Leopard, The Horrible Secret of Dr Hichcock, Contempt, The Gospel According to St Matthew, Castle of Blood, Fists in the Pocket, Django, Battle of Algiers, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Blowup, Diabolik, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, The Conformist, They Call Me Trinity, Violent City, The Marseilles Connection, Illustrious Corpses, Suspiria, The Big Silence, The Mask of Satan, Maciste in Hell, Blood and Black Lace, Hercules Against the Moon Men, The Last Man on Earth, The Wild, Wild Planet, Special Mission Lady Chaplin, Django Kill!, Fellini Satyricon, Deep Red, Sons of Thunder, Tentacles, The Inglorious Bastards, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Puma Man, 1990: Bronx Warriors, 8½, Once Upon a Time in the West, L'Avventura, Black Sabbath, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, Amarcord, Two Women, Planet of the Vampires, Death in Venice, Starcrash, Salvatore Giuliano, Hercules Unchained, Kill, Baby...Kill!"

Teenage Wasteland contains spoilers in the reviews so beware... ;)

That senor lobo book on PN looks nice,where did you buy?

It's available here: CREEPY IMAGES - The world's 1st fanzine entirely devoted to rare and hard to find movie posters and lobby cards

Thanks for that.

Cinema Italiano and Teenage Wasteland are both great.

I'm currently reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography, Total Recall, which is a good read.

Not reading this im afraid,but noticed it on the floor in the kids bedroom in Deadly Spawn.

I have that book.

It doesn't have a dust cover. I think it was sold by Marks and Spencer at Christmas time back in the day.

If anyone wants a peek inside the Paul Naschy book I put up a bunch of pics on the bloggie. I didn't want to post 'em here as they are slightly big...

First look at Muchas Gracia Senor Lobo

well just one so...

Cool. I was just thinking of getting this. The ebay seller is based in Germany - to you get hit with customs charges buying stuff within the EU :confused: The book's already expensive enough . . .

I can only speak for Ireland, but I'm sure its the same for the UK - EU member states do not pay customs charges for transactions back and forth, so there will be no customs charge for a book coming from Germany.

That's what I wanted to hear :woot:

I'll order this weekend when I've sold some ebay stuff to cover it.

Did you pre-order and get the mystery free gift btw . . . ?

No customs charges within the EU (best to check which countries are members though).

No free gift Jack but I was glad to get the book anyway, I'd say this will have a limited print run - this time next year, it will probably be on eBay for megabucks. It really is a stunning book and worth the price...

Yeah I think it will overload my brain with poster inspiration :shocked: . . .
