I've just ordered Forbidden Photos of a Lady above Suspicion, Madhouse and Naked You Die. They should keep me busy for a while!

Just an addition

The Uk Asylum Erotica is cut to pieces and looks bloody awful - avoid at all costs.

There is also a German dvd of NIGHTMARE BEACH but I'm not sure how it compares to the italian edition.

I included the UK dvd of Slaughter Hotel because this version has all the violence but not the sex.
Personally I found some of the sex distracting,so this version was of interest to me.

Pic quality is pan and scan and not really that good.

Here's a comparison between the UK Avenue and the US SS dvds clearly showing how much pic info is missing from the UK dvd:

That should be a port of the Italian dvd according to what I've read.

Your pic makes the Uk version seem better than it actually is. It was nearly unwatchable in places.

Maybe I'll just delete it.

No, it is available, it should stay. I quite like the sleeve as well.

People have seen examples of it, its their choice now.
