All right. That started kind of slow sleazy, but it picked up steam as it went along. It was still all over the place. But my review went up as I went along.😁
Thank you to everyone that joined us tonight at #GangDoesGiallo we hope you enjoyed “crazy desires of the murderer”. Swing back next week.

278/365–‘Curse of the Crimson Altar’ aka ‘The Crimson Cult.’ Mind-altering drugs, kaleidoscopes, Karloff in his last role, and Barbara Steele as green witch Lavinia, all inhabit a tale of witch curses at an English country manor, circa late 60s. Chris Lee also stars

277/365–‘Witchfinder General’ aka ‘Mathew Hopkins: WG’ aka ‘Conqueror Worm.’ As mentioned, one of the Big 3 to help launch Western ‘folk horror’ (NE Asia had been doing it for decades). Price as the morally compromised Witchfinder during the English Civil War. Must-see

276/365–‘Blood on Satan’s Claw’ A recent @shudder.com doc on folk horror says this is one of 3 late 60s/early 70s films that established the genre. A retelling of the Salem Witch Trials, without the trials. Farmer unearths demon, who needs body parts. Local kids oblige

275/365–‘Devil Doll’ #Svengoolie 60s Brit horror, not by Hammer and not the 30s film with L. Barrymore. Stage magician ‘The Great Vorelli’ is a hypnotist whose big trick is ventriloquism with a dummy that contains another performer’s soul. From there, it gets weird

Also ps @minakimes.bsky.social the reason Yale pulled the huge comeback and won 43-42 in regulation is because they went for two after scoring the TD to make it 42-20 and hit it

274/365–‘Terrifier’ Art the Clown started in short films, was included in a horror antho flick, all before his breakout starring role as aforementioned Terrifier. Set-piece kill scenes are what makes this something special, along with the 80s vibe, and industrial tunes

273/365–‘Train to Busan’ Spent nearly 20 years in that seaside port and took the KTX train from Seoul to Busan about a hundred times, so this movie spoke to me. Already considered a classic among zombie films. Great FX, fast undead, and a tale to leave you in tears
