The Severin release is fine after the opening sequence. Plus it has extras.

Is it the one with the US title? I forget what it's called - Death Dealers perhaps?

The 'connections' idea sounds like a good one.

I've been a little lax in respect to forward planning when it comes to my viewing. I've just been grabbing stuff that takes my fancy - mostly new additions to my collection I want to watch and the usual Love Film rentals.... however Love Film have been a bit crap with what they've been sending me, but I guess that's kinda my fault too... shit in/shit out after all. I've been meaning to re-appraise some of the earlier F13th films for instance (not being a big fan of the franchise as a whole) and they sent me Part 2 around the middle of September... after choking that down they sent me Part 3 on Saturday... :eek: I was pretty much 'Fridayed' out for the year already but now Jason can go suck a hockey stick. Hopefully the titles start to improve over the coming weeks. I did watch The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein today though so things aren't all bad.

Nah, if it was Beryl I'd have hoped to have had a cheap copy of The Beast in the Cellar to watch. But anyway I had already planned to leap to The Sorcerers after.

I figured you would go for The Sorcerers but Holiday on the Buses is always an option if you choose Wilfrid Brambell as your link.

As for me it will be Goodbye Gemini in a few minutes. Not seen it before and i'm really looking forward to it.

I love this one too and also need to get a decent copy of it. There's a decent-ish DVD from Severin available but there have been rumblings of them releasing it on Blu for years now which is why I've never taken the plunge.

I'd certainly agree with that. :nod:

Plus, after the original film it's my favourite of the series.

Oh, and...

I have the more recent radio dramas somewhere that I had to listen to whilst I was in hospital although I ended up spending more time socialising and looking after the lady next door to me.

Well that was an unexpected little gem. Definitely not a horror movie, yet sinister and chilling enough to qualify as one with a final shot that sticks in the memory.

It's portrayal of decadence sort of lumps it in with other films of the time such as Breaking of Bumbo and Zee and Co but it's nearest comparison would be the same years Girly.

Well acted by all with interesting directorial flourishes from Alan Gibson, i'd definitely recommend this to anyone.

If anything can take your mind of work then it's Witchfinder General (unless of course you're a witch finder by trade).

However, dodgy toilets may be present... after all it was the 1600s! ;)

Glad you enjoyed it, Dem.

Funny you should bring up the Girly comparison as I think both Odeon and Scorpion released both titles on DVD around the same time as one another respectively.

What did you think of this?

I had the Alpha version with that artwork as it's cover and then upgraded to the recent Retromedia release. It has some lovely Gothic sequences especially in long shot of the girls walk past the castle.
