That was the first film book I ever bought (got it signed by Catriona MaColl and Lamberto Bava)

They've been mentioned in passing dude!

I've only read the forward and first chapter that skimmed over the Mondo genre. Not too bad so far to be hoenst. Looking forward to reading more in between reading about crazy ass Vanessa Del Rio!

That's awesome Loops!!! When did you get that signed mate?

Ah right, cheers Phil. Sounds pretty interesting

When we were in Glasgow, Loopo?

[Pete]

Scotland. Bava was a the first Arrow event with Deodato (I got him to sign some dvd covers but not the book for some reason)

MaColl signed it at the last one.

I guess thers a special edition version of the book because when I was looking it up on Amazon it was really expensive.

Yeah, there was some uber release that came out a little while back - the company who release it put out some stunning books... with stunning price tags to match! They had a Godfather book that cost a £1000!!

Just finished Cannibal, great read for fans of Cannibal and Zombie films! Some interesting interviews by the major players too, Umberto Lenzi comes across as a right pr*ck and Fulci and D'Amato come across as the cool cats the no doubt were!

Highly enjoyable stuff.

Is that the John Martin Cannibal book?

[Philleh]

Sure is mate, have you read it?
