Description: Print #4 in my series on gialli films comes from one of my favorite italina directors of craziness, Umberto Lenzi. "Knife of Ice" (1972) aka "Il coltello di ghiaccio" aka "Silent Horror" is one of my favorite gialli from this schlockmeister.

Description: Print #5 in my series on gialli films comes from an American film that many people do not even realize is squarely in the giallo genre, Brian DePalma's "Dressed to Kill" (1980) aka "Vestito per uccidere." While the vast, vast majority of gialli come from Italy, here is one from one of the great masters of suspense in the US.

Description: Print #8 in my series on gialli films comes from one I've not seen in a really long time, but I love the look of this face/mask. This is from Giuseppe Benati's "The Killer Reserved Nine Seats" (1974) aka "L'assassino ha riservato nove poltrone."

Description: The first painting in the "So Bad It's Good" series is based on James Cummins' 1991 film The Boneyard (aka The Bone Yard). This is a film that has a special place in my heart, and I watch it just about every year. The painting includes the evil Floofsoms and her owner Mrs. Poopinplatz (Phyllis Diller!) as well as two of the "kyoshi" (or ghouls, or zombies, whatever you'd like to call them is fine, they don't mind as long as you feed them) from the film.
