Nice ones!
Interested in your findings...
Hitch-Hike does count as a giallo since it's in the Blood and Black Lace book.

Looking at the poll above it seems suspense gialli aren't very popular?
I wonder why since I love them...maybe not many people have seen these films?
Or are they just too subtle?

Just finished watching Bianchi's Massacre (1989) and oh boy!
Late extremely sleazy and trashy (shoe-string budget probably) giallo from the man who gave the world Strip Nude for your Killer...
There are a few decent looking scenes in it but overall I'd say this certainly isn't a great giallo.
Still it has a séance (like a few other gialli),lesbians,gays,nudity,a strange killer,some supernatural touches (yes,it's actually a giallo fantastico,well part of it!),the story involves the making of a horror movie (which seems to involve filming transvestite scenes?) and a decent amount of gore (some killings near the end are a bit tame tough).
I'd say I sort of enjoyed watching it but be advised that I also said that when I finished watching Mattei's Madness (1994 and better imho).
