From talking to the boys the problem with the Italian titles is rights , money and available materials. A fair few Italian titles are in rights hell, the exchange rates don't help and the contract negotiations can be long winded. After Amazonia they should have that erotic title they mooted last year and Callum has confirmed they signed on the dotted line for four other titles. Reading between the lines from the podcast last year we may be getting some Lenzi. I love the Italian line and they've put out some real gems.

Slasher Classics I still actively buy and it's a line I fully support, it isn't going anywhere soon. They were thinking of dropping the moniker as a slew of titles weren't big sellers like Luther the Geek. Since they mooted the idea of dropping Slasher Classics they've had a resurgence in popularity. Sweet Sixteen has been a surprise seller. Callum mentioned the other week they picked up four more titles for the range and one of them is a "studio" title so start your guessing!

The Asian titles I'm not interested in it's just not my thing but they sell well which helps with financing other titles and transfers.

Ah, I meant UK releases gag. I have both films etc. Neither of which should cause problems now ... well maybe

I can dream can't I??

Calum mentioned on Twitter that he is writing a book about Lenzi, so that would work well.

I have really been enjoying all the collections, with the recent releases in the 88 Asia series, particularly One-Armed Swordsman and The Dragon Missile being highly enjoyable and with informative commentaries.

nice collection - i have most of those. one thing though strikes me in the last picture and for me demonstrates the futility of spine building. The Vinegar Syndrome release of Slaughterhouse is pictorially far superior, with better sound quality and extras. although 88 got there first with their release it is pretty much redundant now.

[ArgentoFan1987]

It could just be the shitty quality of the camera on my tablet.
