DVD DELIRIUM VOL.3-Another sound purchase.....didn't realise FOOTPRINTS was directed by Luigi Bazzoni who also directed THE FIFTH CHORD....

I have all the DVD Delirium book's and i wish they would do another volume.

'Bout time they did mate.

Has anyone else read Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike? I received it this christmas and the book is fantastic! :D

It's just a shame that the book only covers so many of his films...

Cinema Sewer: The Adults Only Guide to History's Sickest and Sexiest Movies! It's SEXCELLENT!!!!

I have all three too & agree they are essential purchases.It's been over two years now since the last volume & there's been a stack of cracking releases which would fill several more books.Are you listening FAB Press !:)

Quick reply from Harvey Fenton at FAB PRESS:-
"Hi. there are no current plans for a fourth volume.Thanks for your enquiry,"

Real shame that.

Harvey just sent me another email & said the poor (well disappointing) sales of DVD DELIRIUM Vol 3 are the only reason there's not been a fourth:(.I have all three so I recommend them all to people here.

That's a shame Mark,I have all three,and to me,they're the DEFINITIVE DVD guides,no serious collector should be without them....

According to Marc Morris Vol 2 is now OOP & it's starting to appear on Amazonuk for between £60-100 !.Glad I have all three but it sounds like thats our lot !:(

Just liberated a copy of Jonathan Ross's Incredibly Strange Film Book in mint condition from a charity shop for a Cloud-pleasing 50p. http://www.shameless-films.com/forum...coolgleamA.gif

Are you willing to sell for 60p! :D

I forgot I'd got that book Vin.Not a bad read though I'd also love the series on dvd.Though it would probably be a rights issue minefield !.

Ross (aka The Ego Has Landed) insists on including photos of himself with the likes of Russ Meyer & Herschell Gordon Lewis, and his supposed knowledge of films isn't quite as knowledgeable as he believes it to be. According to him the last Hammer Frankenstein was the 1973 Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed set in an asylum (actually Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell), The Wicker Man was made in 1976 (it was 1973), and Susan Sarandon played the deaf runaway in Psych-Out (it was Susan Strasberg). http://www.shameless-films.com/forum...ilies/ack2.gif

However apart from these glaring errors and ego-trips it's quite an enjoyable read and worth 50p of anyone's money (even Cloud's). http://www.shameless-films.com/forum...es/biggrin.gif

Can anyone tell me if the Dark Side books Cannibal and Blood and Black Lace are worth buying?

"Blood & Black Lace" is great as a reference book, good mini plot synopsis' for nearly every giallo/gialli you can think of without any spoilers, but the guide to availability is very outdated mainly detailing video availability and be careful with the pages as a few fell out at the front within a week of me buying it a couple of years ago, well worth but i would be reluctant to pay the full price on amazon though.

Thanks;) i may buy it now.

DarkSide's Blood And Black Lace gets a huge thumbs up from me too. It's by far their best book imo and a great reference point for all thoise delicious Gialli yet to be released.

An updated ( hardback? ) version would be nice.

Darksides Blood and Black Lace is a fabulous book and has lots of the Shameless titles in it!! :cool:

Recieved 'Seduction of the Gullible' from kind Mr. Postman today! It's a brilliant book - with the most indepth history of the video nasties I think I've ever seen. Yes, I do luv it! :p

Where did you get that?

I've been after it for a while

I got 'I Dont Mind the Sex, Its the Violence' last time I was out.
Excellet read.

Anyone else read this.?

Michael J. Weldon's psychotronic books are good if you can find them.

I just got it from Amazon mate - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seduction-Gu...6864215&sr=1-1 - only £12.99 or £10.99 on the marketplace. It's quite a good book - with an incredibly detailed 'timeline' which makes up the majority of the book.


:cool:

Or just order it from Dark Side magazine. Iluv is it the updated version you just got?

Yeah Loops, I think I have got the most recent version (the one with the Knife in the Video on the cover). Is there much difference between other editions then?

I think the later edition has an updated dvd section or something.

Yep that's right Loops, there's a detailed section at the end of the book talking about the DVD versions of the video nasties - cut / uncut etc. Quite useful - but it doesn't mention the Shameless release of Killer Nun - so obviously it's not the most up-to-date book.

The book came out either in late 06 or early 07 but i cant remember exactly.

Also if you want to read more on video nasties, I strongly recommend 'The Video Naties: Freedom and Censorship in the Media' - it's a really interesting little book put together in 1984 consisting of 7 'essays' written at the time about the stupidity of the video nasties press panic.

Hi there!

Has anyone ever read the EC Comic Archive books released by Gemstone? I'm thinking of getting one but which one?! So far it's between the Vault Of Horror or the Tales From The Crypt book. Any ideas?

You can always try some university libraries for Barker's book (my old one had it and that is how I managed to read it - although I finally located a battered old second hand copy out of sheer luck) or ask the man himself directly. He teaches at Aberystwyth University. It's a pretty good read - divided into individual chapters by those who opposed the Bright bill. Barker himself writes about seven or eight movies, running down the plot descriptions for those who have not seen them.

See No Evil is, as has been mentioned, probably the last word on the nasties though - hugely in depth and essential for any scholar on the subject.

In the mean time, any chance I can plug my own book Almar?

Reviews have been thankfully quite positive!

Shameless plug over. :D

^ Nice going chap. I'll have to pick myself up a copy at some point.

Yes it's a good little book. I bought this when it first came out and still dip into it on occasions.

Picked up "Trashfiend" by Scott Stine today.The byline reads:"disposable horror fare of the 1960s and 1970s".Flicking through it,the contents cover film,comics,toys, music and good old super 8.www.headpress.com for details.

Has anyone seen/read any of these books?
