Strip Nude for Your Killer

Ah, finally a title truly befitting the Dudes of Horror: Strip Nude for Your Killer. A classy little giallo (Italian slasher/horror/whodunit; look it up, kids) from ’75. I rented this from Netflix purely based on the title. How could I not? I mean, it’s all right there in the title. Killing and tit-tays, everything a Dude of Horror would look for when selecting a film to plop down in front of. (check out my sweet dangling participle)

It had a fair amount of everything that makes a giallo a giallo: lots of killing, lots of breast-ah-sez (and boosh, for that matter), and lots of not knowing who is killing everyone off until the end. Edwige Fenech is some nice eye candy. Overall a pretty decent little flick, given what it is and when it is from, but nothing truly memorable. No haunting/grisly/sexay or otherwise images that stay with the viewer, at least not THIS viewer. So, it is worth a watch if you like giallos and don’t have anything better to do.

No, it's not a movie. Okay... so there probably IS a movie with this title. But I'm talking about this guy's blog:

Check out his first couple of posts in the archives. I know more than a few writers here who will feel as if this guy is blogging thoughts straight from their own minds. And the pictures he posts are certainly nice to look at!

What's this have to do with horror? Aw, shut up. We all know you don't read the articles.

What the hell is wrong with Takashi Miike?

Seriously, was he tortured as a child? I never had a phobia about needles before - now I don't think I'll ever be able to donate blood again.

As disturbing as Audition, as weird as Three Extremes - Cut and thankful that I watched without surround sound (yeah, I know it was a lame segue, but still true).

Christopher comes to the f*cked up Island looking for the love of his life - Komomo the Whore. He meets instead: the chicken lady, the disfigured prostitute and the Madame who needs some serious dental work.

We meet all of the above plus the disfigured prostitute’s little sister, some random chick who wields the needles and the disfigured prostitute’s parents. A tale of pain, woe, incest, pedophilia and excruciating torture all in 63 fun filled minutes - yippe.

Don't have anything to eat or plan to do any embroidering for a good while after.

Sorry it's not more detailed, but I feel the need for a good, long hot shower and some cartoons.
