Giallo trailer collection

Not exactly news about giallo DVD release but close.

Another blog, Prevues of Coming Attractions have released a DVD collection of giallo trailers. I am not sure how legal this actually is, but since we are only speaking about trailers at least to me it seems ok. Youtube is full of these anyway. So head to Prevues of Coming Attractions and start downloading the files. Eventually you'll have a DVD ready to be burned or you can watch the trailers directly on your PC. Very nice job indeed!

Giallo DVD premieres in August

It looks like August will be a good month for giallo fans as we will see two DVD premieres.

Scandinavian label Another World Entertainment will release 80s giallo Nothing Underneath. The cover has been published in various discussion forums. In general AWE's new and upcoming releases are interesting for euro cult fans even though almost all of them have been available on DVD before. Check out the website: www.anotherworldent.com

And Severin in USA will release around the same time Sergio Bergonzelli's In the Folds of the Flesh. The official website does not mention it yet though. www.severin-films.com

Shamess details and two Scandinavian releases

I added some details about Shameless releases. Whether they are anamorphic or not, I'm not sure. Everyday nowadays is, but I want to be sure before I claim so. Also Deep Red aka Profondo Rosso will see another release in June. This time in Scandinavia, or at least in Norway and Denmark. The release will be 2-disc and contain two versions of the film and some extras. Almost in every Scandinavian country we will see also Another World Entertainment's version of Stagefright.

Blu-ray Underground

It didn't take much to be an oracle. Blue Underground will be releasing at least two giallos by Dario Argento on Blu-ray: The Stendhal Syndrome and The Bird With The Crystal Plumage.

New releases from Shameless

Three future releases by Shameless were added. Who Saw Her Die? by Aldo Lado has previously been released by Anchor Bay and then Blue Underground in US. Most of us probably already own it, as we do Andrea Bianchi's Strip Nude For Your Killer. That sleazy piece of giallo has been released as well by Blue Underground but also in Germany. Better news are Maurizio Lucidi's The Designated Victim. There has been two releases before. Italian release lacked English options. German release by X-rated probably had English audio track (I haven't found confirmation about its technical details) but this UK release will probably be at least easier to find from online shops.

Shameless web site mentions two of them but Strip Nude For Your Killer information was picked up from cultmovieforums.com.

Shameless releases and re-releases from Blue Underground

Giallo list is eternally in the making.... However, couple of new additions. Blue Underground re-releases of titles originally released by Anchor Bay in Giallo Collection were included. It would be great to see some new titles instead of these.

Also UK publisher Shameless has released or will release few titles which have been available before. My Dear Killer is the other one, What Have They Done To Your Daughters being the another. I wasn't able to google the technical details but once I'm aware of those I will update the list. Maybe it'd be time for me to upgrade my own Daughters from Salvation edition. Or perhaps I'll wait for Bluray version. We haven't seen the first Bluray (and never did see HD-DVD) giallo but it's just matter of time. My guess is that Blue Underground will be the first one with a re-release of some Argento title.

Ok, little edit: Shameless has previously released also Torso, Killer Nun and New York Ripper which I added to the list. Details of the releases are still lacking.

Giallo list finally released

At last, the list was finally "officially" released. I already have some updates to the main list. The additional titles (titles not included in the Blood and Black Lace book) do not yet have DVD information and probably there are some titles as well which could be added to the list.
