I had the good fortune of catching the great Japanese Ghost story anthology Kwaidan recently (a rare pleasure these days with a two year old daughter demanding every ounce of attention), and I couldn't help but wonder during the The Woman of the Snow episode if dark fantasy artist Michael Whelan was influenced by the film's set design ? The backdrop of the eye instantly reminded me of Whelan's 1982 painting Lovecraft's Nightmare, partly used for the cover of H.P. Lovecraft anthology The Tomb and Other Tales, and perhaps more famously known as the cover of Obituary's 1990 death metal classic Cause of Death...

Not sure what's wrong, Wes, but those images from Photobucket aren't showing for me – all I see is an image saying do need to increase your bandwidth.

I stopped using Photobucket ages ago because it was really temperamental, setting up an account with Imgur instead.

Whilst checking the trailers on Naked Massacre .... Games Of Survival (89) among them. Finally a film to rival The Rollerblade Seven for tedium haha.

Yes the other day. It seemed okay. Not the greatest picture quality but it's never been restored or anything so didn't expect much. What i heard of the dialogue was all English. It does say on the box Italian and English soundtracks so hopefully it's fine.

Can you give me a specific time on the disc where it's German so i can have a look?

Was so annoyed Aenigma was chosen ahead of this, a superior if flawed film.

Ahem. It seems to have calmed down. Was mainly at the start, one of the nurses spoke exclusively in German etc. Tis the MVD US dvd I got. Which is the strange thing really ....
